My Father, this I asked of Thee,
Knowing that Thou wilt grant
the plea;
For this, and only this, I pray:
Strength for to-day—
just for to-day.
Strength for each trial
and each task,
What more, my Father,
should I ask?
Just as I need it, day by day,
Strength for my weakness—
this I pray.
I do not ask a lifted load,
Nor for a smooth
and thornless road;
Supply for strength enough to bear
Life’s daily burdens anywhere.
Strength for each trial
and each task,
What more, my Father,
should I ask?
Just as I need it, day by day,
Strength for my weakness—
this I pray.
Strength for the present
hour and need—
This given, then I’m blest indeed;
For each day, as it comes,
will bring
Sufficient strength for anything.
Strength for each trial
and each task,
What more, my Father,
should I ask?
Just as I need it, day by day,
Strength for my weakness—
this I pray.
Strength for to-day,
that I may make
Some sad souls glad
for Jesus’ sake;
Then they with me
at ever shall say,
Thank God for strength
He gave to-day.
Strength for each trial
and each task,
What more, my Father,
should I ask?
Just as I need it, day by day,
Strength for my weakness—
this I pray.
