A CHRISTIAN’S PRAYER.

My Lord, it is thy work which I would do, And live my life with this one thought in view; The world, with all its wealth, can never give Such honor as the privilege to live For thee, as thine ambassador below. Oh, may I both in word and action show The joy I feel in that most sacred call, And count it my chief pride, my life, my all!
As thou on earth wast moved to sympathy When human sufferers were brought to thee, And made the blind to see, the lame to walk; And e’en the leper clean, the dumb to talk; May I, too, as thy faithful servant, seek To bind each broken heart, support the weak, And in each life, however cold and drear, Bring warmth of Christian sympathy and cheer. —Selected.
