Lord, I come to watch and pray,
To hear Thee speak to me today;
Help me to heed what Thou hast said
In Thy Holy Book that I have read.
Help me, Lord, to stand for Thee;
Open mine eyes, that I might see
The things Thou hast for me to do.
From day to day my strength renew.
Give me, dear Lord, the strength to stand,
Upheld, sustained by Thy all-powerful hand,
That I might give Thee the glory when I speak
And daily, Lord, Thy wisdom seek.
Yes, give me strength, Lord, to do what's best,
To meet the challenge and pass the test;
To resist the Adversary at every turn
And seek to Thy sovereign will discern.
