Christian Worship Prayer For Grace In Trial.
Father of all our mercies, thou
In whom we move and live,
Hear us in heaven, thy dwelling, now,
And answer, and forgive.
When, harassed by ten thousand foes,
Our helplessness we feel,
O, give the weary soul repose,
The wounded spirit heal.
When dire temptations gather round
And threaten or allure,
By storm or calm, in thee be found
A refuge strong and sure.
When age advances, may we grow
In faith, in hope, and love,
And walk in holiness below
To holiness above.
When earthly joys and cares depart,
Desire and envy cease,
Be thou the portion of our heart,-
In thee may we have peace.
