Do Thou for Me

"Do Thou for me, O God the Lord,
Do Thou for me;
I need not toil to find the word
That carefully
Unfolds my prayer and offers it,
My God, to Thee.

It is enough that Thou wilt do,
And will not tire,
Will lead by cloud, all the night through
By light of fire,
Till Thou hast perfected in me
Thy Heart's desire.

O blessed be the love that bears
The burden now,
The love that frames our very prayers,
Well knowing how
To coin our gold; O God the Lord,
Do Thou, do Thou."

- Amy Carmichael



"But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord for thy name's sake"
- Psalm 109:21
