Tune: Fulda
(\'We have a gospel to proclaim\')
Based on a prayer by Reinhold Neibuhr.
The first two verses are called \'The Serenity Prayer\'.
*********
God, grant me the serenity
That I accept the things, so be
That I cannot change, and grant too
Courage to change things, what [I can] to do
And wisdom to know the difference
Guidance of your Spirit sense
Living here one day at a time
Enjoying moments of life\'s rhyme
Accepting hardship as pathway
To peace, and light see each day
Taking as Jesus did this world
As it sinful to Him unfurled
To take he world, be as it is
Not my own will, my that an this
Trusting you will make all things right
As you wish them be in your sight
I surrender unto your will
So that my heart and mind be still
In you in this life, then above
Forever blessed in you, your love
