Thine is the Kingdom.

[through many dangers, toils and snares
i have already come
'tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home

the Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures

yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail
and mortal life shall cease
i shall possess within the veil
a life of joy and peace]

[i will not boast in anything

no gifts, no power, no wisdom

but i will boast in Jesus Christ

His death and resurrection]

Father, Loving God,

i trust You.

You have been so good to me.

You have loved me

and given me life.

but sometimes it is so dark.

sometimes the path seems so treacherous.

i want to follow You.

i trust that You are leading me to Your life.

i trust that i am following You.

why do i always feel that i am lost?

why do the roads always look like dead-ends?

where are You taking me?

no, i do not need to know.

only that You have prepared the place.

what should i do?

no, i do not need to know.

only that Your Spirit will guide me.

if i shall fail,

may i not become discouraged.

if i shall be poor,

may i not have regret.

if i shall be a fool,

may i remember the Fool's Death.

[the path to righteousness is narrow,

and few will find it.]

i am not afraid, my Lord.

lead me down the narrow path.

[for God has made low the wisdom of this world.]

i have no strength, my God.

i have no wisdom.

i have no sight.

i have only You, and faith in You.

[Thy Kingdom come.

Thy will be done.

give us this day our daily bread.

for Thine is the Kingdom

and the power

and the glory

for ever and ever.

Amen.]
