At First I Prayed for Light

Author: Ednah Cheney Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #40 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. At first I prayed for light: Could I but see the way, How gladly, swiftly would I walk To everlasting day! 2. And next I prayed for strength: That I might tread the road With firm, unfaltering feet, and win The heavens’ serene abode. 3. And then I prayed for faith: Could I but trust my God, I’d live infolded in His peace, Though foes were all abroad. 4. But now I pray for love: Deep love to God and man; A living love that will not fail, However dark His plan. 5. And light and strength and faith Are opening everywhere! God waited patiently until I prayed the larger prayer. Languages: English Tune Title: WOOLWICH
