Father, strengthen Thou my will
With Thine own steadfastness fill
Rooted, grounded, may I be
Fixed in Thy stability
May struggling hearts that seek release
Here find the rest of God’s own peace
And, strengthened here by hymn and prayer
Lay down the burden and the care
O God, our light! To Thee we bow
Within all shadows standest Thou
Give deeper calm than night can bring
Give sweeter songs than lips can sing
O God, in whom we live and move
Thy love is law, Thy law is love
Thy present Spirit waits to fill
The Soul which comes to do Thy will
Unto Thy children’s spirits teach
Thy love, beyond the powers of speech
And make them know, with joyful awe
The encircling presence of Thy law

Bob Marley 1945 – 1981
