THANKSGIVING!
A PRAYER.

Though we be Blinded, stl may we see Thy Handiwork and
know its worth;
Though we be Dumb, still may we speak Thy Word in Thought
and Deed,
Though we be Deaf, still may we hear Thy Voice and do
Thy Bidding;
Though we be Halt, still may we walk Thy Way nor go astray;
And though We see and hear and speak and walk as men,
Still may we know these things as but of earth; of only
passing need;
And if these gifts be ours through Thee,
II needs must be that we can wrong no man.
Almighty God, grant this be our Thanksgiving.
GEORGE MARTIN.
