A HYMN OF GRATITUDE.

By Mrs. L. D. A. Stuttle

BY MRS. L. D. A. STUTTLE.

GREAT deeds I may not do, Nor costly presents give; But I can watch and pray, And, in my humble way, Can do what good I may, The while I live.

To some are given gold And glittering hoards of wealth; Yet I will thankful be, For God hath given me This talent, rich and free, The boon of health.

Yes, life and strength are mine; These blessings have I shared, While some more just than I On beds of suffering lie; Bright buds of promise die, While I am spared.

Lord, may my life be spent In leading souls to Heaven. Oh! keep me near thy side, Lest, in my foolish pride, The talents I should hide Which thou hast given.
