I ask not, Lord, for less to bear,
While here I tread the narrow way,
But that I may thy blessing share
In all that I shall do or say. HHHH 51.1
Through thee to lead, I will not fear
To pass through scenes with dangers rife,
While still thy cheering voice I hear,
“I am the way, the truth and life.” HHHH 51.2
Thou art the refuge of my soul,
My hope when earthly comforts flee,
My strength while life’s rough billows roll,
My joy through all eternity! HHHH 51.3
Then help me to improve, with care,
These precious moments to us given;
For they a faithful record bear,
Of good or ill, each day, to heaven. HHHH 51.4
And in thine arms of love enfold,
That I may shun the Tempter’s snare,
And in the Book of Life, enrolled,
My name may be found written there! HHHH 51.5
