Hymn 800: My Father, this I ask of Thee

Also listed as SS&S 800 • SSS 800 • SS and S 800 • Sacred Songs 800

My Father, this I ask 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.

2. I do not ask a lifted load, Nor for a smooth and thornless road ; Simply for strength enough to bear need Life's daily burdens anywhere,

3. Strength for the present hour and This given, then I'm blest indeed, For each day, as it comes, will bring Sufficient strength for anything.

4. Strength for to-day, that I may make Some sad souls glad for Jesus' sake ; Then they with me at eve shall say — Thank God for strength He gave to-day.
