Our Father knows my need to-day;
I do not, doubting, ask
For happy hours or golden way,
Or loving, helpful task;
But, with all trust in Love, I pray :
Our Father knows my need to-day.
Our Father knows my need this hour;
Where'er my steps may go,
The saving light of Truth's high tower
Now leads me—this I know.
Thine is the majesty and power,
O Love divine, this day—this hour.
Our Father knows this moment's need,—
My work, my prayer, my song,
The healing word and Christlike deed.
Here where the way seems long,
Truth's manna falls and I am fed ;
Love's light shines clear and I am led.
Love sets the earth-bound captive free ;
And, mindful of His own,
With loving care He leadeth me.
When wandering and lone,
I find in Truth the living way:
Our Father knows my need to-day.
