I Shall Not Pass Again This Way

Verse 1

The bread that giveth strength I want to give, The water pure that bids the thirsty live; I want to help the fainting day by day, I'm sure I shall not pass again this way.

Verse 2

I want to give the oil of joy for tears, The faith to conquer crowding doubts and fears; Beauty for ashes may I give alway, I'm sure I shall not pass again this way.

Verse 3

I want to give good measure, running o'er, And into angry hearts I want to pour The answer soft that turneth wrath away, I'm sure I shall not pass again this way.

Verse 4

I want to give to others hope and faith; I want to do all that the Master saith; I want to live aright from day by day; I'm sure I shall not pass again this way.
