Gods I call to thee Grant me life and strength And if my strength should fail Grant me force of will Should my will be broke Grant me light and hope And if my hope recedes Give me death and peace ♪ On that autumn day I met an old friend With her hand in mine We sat and talked a while As the hour grew late She spoke of a quiet place Where gods will hear your prayers I will take you there ♪ Gods I call to thee Grant me life and strength If my strength should fail Give me force of will If my will should break Grant me light and hope When my hope recedes Give me death Gods I call to thee Grant me life and strength If my strength should fail Give me force of will If my will should break Grant me light and hope And when hope recedes Amen
