My Prayer


To be content,

To dry my tears,

To show forth love,

To drop all fears;

To feel the thrill

Of life divine,

To recognize

That power is mine,

To know the Christ

And with Him talk,

To look for good

Where e'er I walk,

To do with joy

Each hourly task,

To live the life --

'Tis this I ask.

To banish pain,

To cheer the world,

To see the flag,

Of Truth unfurled

Till every soul

Is made to see

And know its own

Divinity;

To realize

That in each land

All strife shall cease

And love shall stand

Proclaiming peace

Upon the air

Thru all the years --

This is my prayer.
