“THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH.”

Almighty Father! I am weak,

But thou wilt strengthen me,

If from my heart I humbly seek

For help and light from thee.

When I am tempted to do wrong,

Then, Father, pity me,

And make my failing virtue strong;

Help me to think of thee!

Let Christian courage guard my youth;

That courage give to me

Which ever speaks and acts the truth,

And puts its trust in thee.
