God make me brave

[Betty]

                    God, make me brave for life:
                            oh, braver than this.
                    Let me straighten after pain,
                            as a tree straightens after the rain,
                    Shining and lovely again.
                   
                    God, make me brave for life;
                            much braver than this.
                    As the blown grass lifts,
                            let me rise
                    From sorrow with quiet eyes,
                            Knowing Thy way is wise.

                    God, make me brave, life brings
                            such blinding things.
                    Help me to keep my sight;
                            Help me to see aright
                    That out of dark comes light.
