Songs of the Saints ‎#68

68. The things I cannot do alone

1 Lord, I would not ask a special blessing
Ev'ry time some service should be done;
But I often need Thy loving counsel
In the things I cannot do alone.

Refrain:
I do not ask for strength to move a mountain,
Nor earthly fame or fortune of my own;
I only ask for added strength and courage,
In the things I cannot do alone.

2 When I'm racked with mortal pain and sorrow,
May I spend a moment at Thy throne;
Pleading only for thy tender mercy
In the things I cannot do alone. [Refrain]

3 When my task seems greater than my courage,
And the world would turn my heart to stone;
Be Thou near, O Lord, and gently lead me
In the path I cannot walk alone.
