570. Father, hear the prayer we offer

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 for ever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be;
But the steep and rugged pathway
May we tread rejoicingly.

3 our strength in hours of weakness,
In our wanderings be our guide,
Through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be thou at our side.
