3'74. "My times are in thy hand." FATHER, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me, And the changes that are sure to come But I ask thee for a present mind I ask thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, Wherever in the world I am, I have a fellowship with hearts Anna L. Waring. 375. "Ye have not received the spirit of bondage." I ASK thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied; And a mind to blend with outward life While keeping at thy side : And if some things I do not ask I would have my spirit filled the more In a service which thy will appoints, For my inmost heart is taught "the truth" And a life of self-renouncing love Anna L.
