Just where I am is ruled by thee;
The duty of each hour
Marked out for me, must not dismay,
I conquer by thy power.
The duty of each hour
Marked out for me, must not dismay,
I conquer by thy power.
Just where I am, amidst a round
Of little, common things,
I pray that, in thy strength, I may
Yet soar on angel wings.
Of little, common things,
I pray that, in thy strength, I may
Yet soar on angel wings.
Just where I am, by doing well,
A battlefield may be,
And daily steps a ladder prove,
Which leads to victory.

And daily steps a ladder prove,
Which leads to victory.
HIS TENDER CARE
As helpless leaf before the gale,
My hopeless, human heart so frail!
Oh, what the power that shall avail
In darkest day,
Whene'er the storms of grief assail,
To light the way?
My hopeless, human heart so frail!
Oh, what the power that shall avail
In darkest day,
Whene'er the storms of grief assail,
To light the way?
The sparrow falleth to the ground,
The Father's love beyond all bound
Its fate doth note—in Him is found
All needed strength;
His tender care shall thee surround,
Thy journey's length.
The Father's love beyond all bound
Its fate doth note—in Him is found
All needed strength;
His tender care shall thee surround,
Thy journey's length.
