109. My Daily Prayer

1 Only to trust thee, Jesus my Savior,
Sure that in each earthly ill thou art my stay;
Fearing no danger, cheerful in darkness,
Calmly and serenely to plod the homeward way.

Only to trust thee,
Only to trust thee,
This my daily pray’r shall be.

2 Only to serve thee, Jesus my Savior,
Loyally and patiently, day after day;
No load too heavy, to task unworthy,
Meeting every duty thou dost upon me lay.

Only to serve thee,
Only to serve thee,
This my daily pray’r shall be.

Only to love thee, Jesus my Savior,
Walking ever close to thee, thro’ life’s short day;
Thy love my comfort, thy joy my gladness,
Hold my heart securely nor let it from thee stray.

Only to love thee,
Only to love thee,
This my daily pray’r shall be.
