A hymn prayer based on TLH 264:5,6) that I modified slightly to speak out both the struggle and faith within me. I hope it speaks the desire of your faith in the midst of the raging of the old Adam within and Satan without.
Preserve Thy Word and preaching,
The truth that makes me whole,
The mirror of Thy glory,
The power that saves my soul.
Oh, may this living water,
This dew of heavenly grace,
Sustain me while here living
Until I see Thy face!
Preserve in wave and tempest
Thy storm-tossed little sheep;
Assailed by wind and weather;
May I endure each shock.
Take Thou the helm, O Pilot,
And set the course aright;
Thus I shall reach the harbor
In Thine eternal light. Amen.
