MY PRAYER, by                    
First Line: My god, in thee I put my trust
Last Line: When work on earth is done.
Subject(s): Prayer


My God, in Thee I put my trust;
My God, to Thee I cling;
And when my soul is merged in grief
To Thee my cares I bring.
I know that Thou will help me, Lord;
With Thee I have no fears
For You place sunshine in my heart
When life seems dark and drear.

How can I thank Thee, blessed Lord,
For blessings that You give?
Without Thee, God, I'd stumble, fall --
My life's not all to live.
Oh, God, how can I do enough
To show my faith in Thee?
And still Thou givest me more and more --
Thou doest so much for me.

One blessing more I ask, my God,
And that You'd surely give:
I ask for strength, dear Lord, to help
My fellowman to live.
Make me, dear Lord, an instrument
With which Thy work is won;
And let me be with Thee, dear God,
When work on earth is done.
