Strength for to­day, Fa­ther, strength for to­day,
Strength to be ho­ly, to walk in Thy way;
Strength for the keep­ing my robes un­de­filed,
Strength to be hum­ble, as seem­eth Thy child.

Refrain

Strength for to­day, Fa­ther, strength for to­day;
Strength in our war against sin;
That when our ci­ty comes down from the skies,
We may all en­ter in.

Strength in temp­ta­tion to turn from the snare,
Strength to be con­stant and ear­nest in pray­er;
Patient in well do­ing, faith­ful in heart;
Never, O Lord, from Thy truth to de­part.

Refrain

Strength for the cross­es Thou giv’st me to bear,
Resting my heart on Thy fa­ther­ly care;
Trusting, al­though I may not un­der­stand;
Knowing that Thou all my go­ings hast planned.

Refrain

Strength to shun evil, to cleave to the right,
Strength that my rush-light burn clear­ly and bright;
Strength that I bring no re­proach on Thy name;
Looking to Je­sus, Thy pro­mise I claim.
