Only a little strength, Lord
For I am often weak;
Only a ray of hope, Lord
For life is often bleak.
Give me a little light, Lord
That I may clearly see,
And that I may keep, Lord
The path that leads to Thee.
Give me a friend or two, Lord
Whose hands will help me on
On whom I may lean, Lord
As Thou did’st once on the departed.
Strength and hope and light, Lord
And but one thing more
The great grace to find Lord
Thee when life is o’er.
