-O-O-
A PRAYER
BY Berton BraIey.
Oh, Master of the World of men
And Ruler of Eternity,
Neither with voice nor flowing pen
Have 1 asked many things from
Thee;
l have not begged for wealth or fame
With selfish prayers of little worth,
Nor have l called upon Thy name
To smite my enemies to earth.
Yet now to Thee l raise my eyes
And lift my voice for Thee to hear;
No rich and sordid gift prize,
No plethora of gold and gear;
Only this single boon pray,
That in a busy world and wide,
Whether my life be grave or gay,
may not grow self-satisfed.
So, till my final hour is spent,
Until my work and play are
through,
Lord, let me never be content
With what l am or what l do;
Deliver me from SNUG conceit
Which clogs the heart and mind in
action
This is the prayer which repeat,
Lord, guard me from self-satisfac-
tom"
