A PRAYER

{ .
Lord, let me rise refreshed at dawn
Fit for the tasks the day may bring,
And like the robin on the lawn,
Let me have faith enough to sing.
Let me not be embittered here
Because my burden heavy grows
Let me not be prey to fear
Nor swayed by everys wind that
~ blows.
Teach me to face the good and ill,
And all the years may choose to send,
With courage and n steadfast will
To play the man unto the end
Lord, keep me free from bitterness
Through all the days of pain and
strife,
Envying no other mans s success,
But grateful for my term of life.
Teach me how graciously to give,
How to be brave when storms des
eend,
And through the years that 1 may live,
Lord, teach me how to play the
friend. -
