FOR THE SPIRIT OF PRAYER.
Father, in the mighty name
Of Thy well-beloved Son,
One of all Thy gifts I claim,
All my wants I speak in one;
Let me for the promise stay,
Only give me power to pray.
Of Thy well-beloved Son,
One of all Thy gifts I claim,
All my wants I speak in one;
Let me for the promise stay,
Only give me power to pray.
Sensible delights on me,
Peace or joy, if Thou bestow,
Thankful I receive from Thee;
Or let all my comforts go,
Take Thine other gifts away,
Only give me power to pray.
Peace or joy, if Thou bestow,
Thankful I receive from Thee;
Or let all my comforts go,
Take Thine other gifts away,
Only give me power to pray.
See Thy poor afflicted child,
Patient and resign'd in pain;
Let me wander o'er the wild,
Never more will I complain;
Here for ever let me stay,
Only give me power to pray.
Patient and resign'd in pain;
Let me wander o'er the wild,
Never more will I complain;
214
Only give me power to pray.
Let the pangs that fill my breast
Fully all to Thee be known,
Griefs that cannot be exprest
Let me tell Thee in a groan;
Haste to help me, or delay,
Only give me power to pray.
Fully all to Thee be known,
Griefs that cannot be exprest
Let me tell Thee in a groan;
Haste to help me, or delay,
Only give me power to pray.
Grant me comfort, or deny;
Visit, or from me depart:
Only let Thy Spirit cry,
Abba, Father, in my heart;
Abba, Father, would I say,
Only give me power to pray.
Visit, or from me depart:
Only let Thy Spirit cry,
