by Rev. Marion Franklin Ham (1867-1956)
I pray not for the joy that knows
No saving bension of tears;
The placid life of ease that flows
Untroubled through the changing years.
Grant me, O God, the mind to see
The blessings which my sorrows bring;
And give me, in adversity,
The heart that still can trust and sing.
Rooted and Grounded
