PRAYER.
Faltering steps and doubling mind
Are mine, Lord, though strong desire
Impels me oft to turn to Thee.
Rekindle Thou the Light within;
Forgive, and give me faith and strength;
Dispel the mist before my eyes
That may see Thy loving face.
Show me the shining, holy way
That | may tread it to the end
