A Prayer

By M. H.

M. H.
LORD, make each day a day of glad surprise That thou, the adoration of the heavenly throng, From scenes of purest bliss should turn thine eyes On one whose feet inclined to paths of wrong.
Me, even me, thou pitiedst, and cried, “Come unto me, O weary one, and rest; Raise your proud eyes to Calvary, where died One who his love for sinners there expressed!”
I thank thee, Lord, for that compelling love Which, by its very tenderness revealed, Fills this heart full with visions from above, Makes it a joy my foolish pride to yield.
May thy sweet grace from me outforth so shine That other weary ones be turned to thee, The future joy of this glad heart of mine, With them to praise thee through eternity.
