Verse 1
Father, hear the prayer we offer: 
Not for ease that prayer shall be, 
But for strength, that we may ever 
Live our lives courageously. 
 
Verse 2
Not forever in green pastures 
Do we ask our way to be: 
But the steep and rugged pathways 
Would we strive to climb to Thee. 
 
Verse 3
Not for ever by still waters 
Would we idly, quiet stay; 
But would smite the living fountains 
From the rocks along our way. 
 
Verse 4
Be our strength in hours of weakness, 
In our wanderings be our Guide; 
Through endeavor, failure, danger, 
Father, be Thou at our side.
