Oh Father Take not away the burden The burden of the day Oh but help me That I can stand and bear it For you, God, oh you will be my strength What peace you bring to my heart How sweetly you cling Oh the depths I've yet discovered Are daily given to me Oh Father The kindness you've delivered is present Present through the pain And when I'm longing For more than I can handle Oh you, God, you will be my strength What peace you bring to my heart How sweetly you cling Oh the depths I've yet discovered Are daily given to me Take from my soul The strain and the stress That binds my heart To what's not mine to hold What peace you bring to my heart How sweetly you cling Oh the depths I've yet discovered Are daily given to me
