Show "] Shall Not Pass Again This Way" 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, Because I shall not pass again this way. I want to give the oil of joy for tears; The faith to conquer cruel doubts and fears; Beauty for ashes may I give away, Because I shall not pass again this way. I want to give good measure running o’er. And into angry hearts I want to pour The answer soft that turneth wrath away, Because I shall not pass again this way. I want to give others hope and faith; I want to do all that the master saith; I want to live aright from day to day, _ Because I shall not pass again this way.
