How gladly, swift-ly would I walk To everlasting day!
[[Full Lyrics]] [Verse 1] At first I prayed for light: Could I but see the way, How gladly, swiftly would I walk To everlasting day! [Verse 2] And next I prayed for strength: That I might tread the road With firm, unfaltering feet, and win The heaven’s serene abode. [Verse 3] And then I asked for faith: Could I but trust my God, I’d live infolded in His peace, Though foes were all abroad. [Verse 4] But now I pray for love: Deep love to God and man; A living love that will not fail, However dark His plan. [Verse 5] And light and strength and faith Are opening everywhere! God waited patiently until I prayed the larger prayer.
