1. Almighty God, in humble prayer
Hymn 15
Almighty God, in humble prayer

2. 1
Almighty God, in humble prayer
to you our souls we lift;
and ask that you our minds prepare
for your most precious gift.

3. 2
We ask not golden streams of wealth
along our path to flow;
we ask not undecaying health,
nor length of years below.

4. 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.

5. William Chatterton Dix 1837-18984
We ask for wisdom: Lord, impart
the knowledge how to live;
a wise and understanding heart
to all before you give.
William Chatterton Dix
