Where can I go when spirits are low,
When zeal is dragging its feet?
To Him who knows the heart’s worst woes,
But still refused to retreat.

Who can I seek when powers are weak,
When efforts and strivings fail?
The Lord gives strength to go the length
And steady wind for the sail.

What can I ask to finish my task,
To do all the work near at hand?
The presence of heaven, a soul now forgiven,
All courage to teach and to stand.
