"Father, hear the prayer we offer; Nor for ease that prayer shall be
But for strength that we may ever live our lives courageously.
Not forever by still waters would we idly, quiet stay;
But would smite the living fountains from the rocks along our way.
Be our strength in hours of weakness; In our wandrings, be our guide
Thro' endeavor, failure, danger, Father be Thou at our side.
Let our path be bright or dreary, storm or sunshine be our share
May our souls in hope unweary make Thy work our ceaseless prayer."
