Lord Give Me Strength

 

Lord give me strength from day to day

To walk the strait and narrow way

And may I live so close to Thee

That I may glimpse dark Calvary.

 

Lord lead me on to realms of light

Where Jesus reigns forevermore

And when at last I come to die

Oh land me safe on Canaan’s Shore.

 

Lord I would live from day to day

To help some soul along the way

That they may catch a glimpse of Thee

The living Lamb of Calvary.

 

Lord give me faith from day to day

To trust Thy love along the way

To live for Thee what e’er betide

And point souls to Thy bleeding side.

 

Lord give me trials to bear each day

To keep me humble at Thy feet

That I may look straight up to Thee

And may not miss Thee blessings sweet.
