We Bear the Strain of Earthly Care

Abroad do Thou my footsteps guide, At home be ever at my side. 3 Be this a time of grace and pardon. Thy rod I take with willing mind, But suffer naught my heart to harden; Oh, let me then Thy mercy find! In Thee alone, my God, I live; Thou only canst my sins forgive. 4 And may this year to me be holy; Thy grace so fill my ev'ry thought That all my life be pure and lowly And truthful, as a Christian’s ought. So make me while yet dwelling here Pious and blest from year to year. 5 Jesus, be with me and direct me; Jesus, my plans and hopes inspire; Jesus, from tempting thoughts protect me; Jesus, be all my heart’s Desire; Jesus, be in my thoughts all day Nor suffer me to fall away. 6 And grant, Lord, when the year is over, That it for me in peace may close; In all things care for me and cover My head in time of fear and woes.

I'd rather keep the entrance and claim you as my Lord than revel in the riches the ways of sin afford. 3 A sun and shield forever are you, O Lord Most High; you shower us with blessings; no good will you deny. The saints, your grace receiving, from strength to strength shall go, and from their life shall rivers of blessing overflow. Topics: The Church; Gathering; Grâce Used With Tune: MERLE’S TUNE
