“Enoch walked with God…three hundred years”. Genesis 5:22

I want, O gracious God, to be
From selfish thoughts and wishes free, —
Just subject to Thy holy will,
Before Thee restful, happy, still,
To take with gladness from Thy hand
What’er Thou hast in wisdom planned,
With boldness for my Lord to speak,
Yet, like Him, ever patient, meek:
And if it seems Thou dost not hear,
Or answer prayer, and art not near,
Then give me grace to search my ways,
And still to lift my heart in praise.
O Father, do Thou grant to me
Thy GRACE today to walk with Thee.
