The bread that bringeth strength I want to give,
The water pure that bids the thirsty live;
I want to help the fainting day by day;
;
Im sure I shall not pass again this way;
\
I want to give goodness and joy for tears,
1
The faith to conquer crowding doubts and fears;
j
i
Beauty for ashes may I give always;
1
Im sure I shall not pass again this way;
I want to give to others hope and faith,
1
I want to do all that the master saith,
I want to live all right from day to day;
Im sure I shall not pass again this way.
