A poem by Eliza Lee Cabot Follen

"The Lord Is My Strength"

________________________________________________
Title:     "The Lord Is My Strength"
Author: Eliza Lee Cabot Follen [More Titles by Follen]

Almighty Father! I am weak,
But thou wilt strengthen me,
If from my heart I humbly seek
For help and light 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.
