202. Father in Need I Come to Thee

1 Father, in need, I come to Thee,
And this shall be my earnest plea:
Give me a spirit like to Thine,
And make Thy work and purpose mine.

Chorus:
Not my will, Father, but this I pray,
Thy will be done by me each day;
Not my will, Father, this I pray,
Thy will be done by me each day.

2 Help me to always keep in sight
The love that guides me to the light;
The star of faith the beacon be
That guides me o’er life’s stormy sea. [Chorus]

3 Help me to do for Thine and Thee
Whatever work Thou gavest me;
Faithful in all things to the last,
Be heav’n the prize when earth is past. [Chorus]
