THE LADDER.
None the less, dear Lord, I know,
Worse than vain each step I go
If Thou art not at my side
To prevent, uphold, and guide.
Worse than vain each step I go
If Thou art not at my side
To prevent, uphold, and guide.
Take in Thine my trembling hand;
Give me grace and strength to stand;
Once again I will assay
At Thy word the heavenward way.
Give me grace and strength to stand;
Once again I will assay
At Thy word the heavenward way.
Oh for courage not to faint!
Oh for silence from complaint!
Oh for patience to forbear;
Love to conquer; faith to dare!
Oh for silence from complaint!
Oh for patience to forbear;
Love to conquer; faith to dare!
Stay me, Lord, with holy fear!
Fill me, Lord, with holy cheer!
Humbly leaning on Thy strength
May I gain the end at length.
Fill me, Lord, with holy cheer!
Humbly leaning on Thy strength
May I gain the end at length.
Nought I can do, or have done;
If I win't is Thou hast won;
Putting all my trust in Thee
Now my ladder's worth I see.
If I win't is Thou hast won;
Putting all my trust in Thee
Now my ladder's worth I see.
