The changes that are sure to come, I do not fear to see:
I ask Thee for a present mind, intent on pleasing Thee.
I would not have the restless will that hurries to and fro,
Seeking for some great thing to do, or secret thing to know;
I would be treated as a child, and guided where I go.
I ask Thee for the daily strength, to none that ask denied,
A mind to blend with outward life, while keeping at Thy side,
Content to fill a little space, if Thou be glorified.
In service which Thy will appoints there are no bonds for me;
My secret heart is taught the truth that makes Thy children free ;
a life of self renouncing love is one of liberty.
