"Thank you Lord for grace today,
To meet the trials of the way.
To give us victory over sin,
To cause us life's sore fight to win.
To keep us calm amid the storm,
To make our cold hearts soft and warm,
To aid us that we may aid others,
Lift up our weary Christian brothers.
To show us how the lost
to reach.
To help us Thine own Word to teach.
To cheer us as we do each task we do,
To keep us sweet the whole day through.
Whatever lowly chore we meet,
O let us bring it to Thy feet,
The smallest duty needs Thy grace,
And thus we look into Thy face.
With praise and prayer request we
make,
That we may labour for Thy sake.
As is our day, our strength shall be,
So we go forth, at rest in Thee"

“My grace is sufficient for you,
for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
