Father, hear the prayer we offer

Author: Love Maria Willis (1824-1908) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #629c (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:2-10 Lyrics: 1 Father, hear the prayer we offer: not for ease that prayer shall be, but for strength that we may ever live our lives courageously. 2 Not for ever in green pastures do we ask our way to be; but the steep and rugged pathway may we tread rejoicingly. 3 Not for ever by still waters would we idly rest and stay; but would smite the living fountains from the rocks along our way. 4 Be our strength in hours of weakness, in our wanderings be our guide; through endeavour, failure, danger, Father, be thou at our side.

"Keep me ever"

Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: Laudes Domini #312 (1888) Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9 First Line: Holy Father, thou hast taught me Lyrics: 1 Holy Father, thou hast taught me I should live to thee alone; Year by year thy hand hath brought me On through dangers oft unknown. When I wandered, thou hast found me; When I doubted, sent me light; Still thine arm has been around me, All my paths were in thy sight. 2 In the world will foes assail me, Craftier, stronger far than I; And the strife may never fail me, Well I know, before I die. Therefore, Lord, I come believing Thou canst give the power I need; Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength--the Spirit's strength, indeed. 3 I would trust in thy protection, Wholly rest upon thine arm; Follow wholly thy direction, Thou, mine only guard from harm! Keep me from mine own undoing, Help me turn to thee when tried, Still my footsteps, Father, viewing, Keep me ever at thy side.

I glory in infirmity, That Christ's own power may rest on me: When I am weak, then am I strong, Grace is my shield, and Christ my song. I can do all things, or can bear All suff'rings, if my Lord be there; Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains, While his left hand my head sustains. But if the Lord be once withdrawn, And we attempt the work alone, When new temptations spring and rise, We find how great our weakness is.
