My Father, this I ask of Thee; Knowing that Thou wilt grant the plea??? For this, and only this, I pray Strength for today???just for today. Refrain Strength for each trial and each task, What more, my Father, should I ask? Just as I need it, day by day, Strength for my weakness???this I pray. I do not ask a lifted load, Nor for a smooth and thornless road; Simply for strength enough to bear Life???s daily burdens anywhere. Refrain Strength for the present hour and need??? This given, then I???m blest indeed; For each day, as it comes, will bring Sufficient strength for anything. Refrain Strength for today, that I may make Some sad souls glad, for Jesus??? sake; Then they, with me, at eve shall say, ???Thank God for strength He gave today.??? Refrain
