125. This One Little Day

1 Give us this day, this little day,
The grace to live as now we pray;
Though burdens press and hearts may ache,
Help for Thy mercies’ sake.

Refrain:
O give us today,
This one little day,
Thy strength in our weakness,
Kind Father, we pray;
O keep every soul
Beneath Thy control,
And lead on the upward way.

2 Give us today the strength we need,
And step by step Thy children lead;
Though faith and hope may oft be tried,
Still let us trust our Guide. [Refrain]

3 Give us today more pow’r to do
Thy blessed will, our strength renew;
Speak to our souls, our sins forgive,
Teach us in Thee to live. [Refrain]
