Father, I know that all my life

Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #444 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; The changes that are sure to come, I do not fear to see: I ask thee for a present mind, Intent on pleasing thee. 2 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 3 I ask thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, A mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at thy side, Content to fill a little space, If thou be glorified. 4 In service which thy will appoints There are no bonds for me; My secret heart is taught the truth That makes thy children free; A life of self-renouncing love Is one of liberty. Amen.

Father, I know that all my life

Author: Miss Anna L. Waring, 1823-1910 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #496 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; And the changes that are sure to come I do not fear to see; But I ask Thee for a present mind Intent on pleasing Thee. 2 I ask thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And wipe the weeping eyes; And a heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize. 3 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know: I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4 Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe'er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts To keep and cultivate; And a work of lowly love to do For the Lord on whom I wait. 5 So I ask Thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denies; And a mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified.
