Almighty God, in humble prayer Hymn 15 Almighty God, in humble prayer
1 Almighty God, in humble prayer to you our souls we lift; and ask that you our minds prepare for your most precious gift.
2 We ask not golden streams of wealth along our path to flow; we ask not undecaying health, nor length of years below.
3 We ask not honours, which an hour may bring, and take away; we ask not pleasure, pomp, and power, which tend to lead astray.
William Chatterton Dix 1837-1898 4 We ask for wisdom: Lord, impart the knowledge how to live; a wise and understanding heart to all before you give. William Chatterton Dix 1837-1898
