Help me, Lord, to keep on trusting
Even when the way is bleak,
And my throat is sore from crying
And my voice can hardly speak.
Take away my pain and sorrow,
Let me feel Thy presence near;
Help me walk in sweet progression
Attended by Thy force: No fear
Of what is come before me,
No looking back at things that were -
Grant me grace to live each moment
With the things that be, assured.
If my human strength would falter
Under barbs and heavy load,
Come Thou here and ease my burden
Lest I totter down the road.
If my spirit wanes in trying,
And faint tenors take command,
Fire me, Lord, to keep on walking:
Guided, strengthened, by Thy hand.
