Poems (Follen)/"The Lord is my strength"

​
"THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH."
Almighty Father! I am weak,  But thou wilt strengthen me, If from my heart I humbly seek  For help and strength from thee.
When I am tempted to do wrong,  Then, Father, pity me,And make my failing virtue strong:  Help me to think of thee!
Let Christian courage guard my youth:  That courage give to me,Which ever speaks and acts the truth, And puts its trust in thee.
