1. I do not ask, O Lord,
that life may be
A pleasant road;
I do not ask that Thou
wouldst take from me
Aught of its load.
2. I do not ask that flowers
should always spring
Beneath my feet;
I know too well
the poison and the sting
Of things too sweet.
3. For one thing, only Lord,
dear Lord, I plead:
Lead me aright,
Though strength should falter
and though heart should bleed,
Through peace to light.
4. I do not ask, O Lord,
that Thou shouldst shed
Full radiance here
Give but a ray of peace,
that I may tread
Without a fear.
5. I do not ask my cross
to understand,
My way to see;
Better in darkness
just to feel Thy hand,
And follow Thee.
6. Joy is like restless day;
but peace divine
Like quiet night:
Lead me, O Lord,
till perfect day shall shine,
Through peace to light.
