A PRAYER.

By Geo. W. Dithridge

ALMIGHTY GOD! with pitying love Look on us from thy throne above. Into our hearts thy grace instill; Teach us, O God, to do thy will.
Infinite God! thy sacred law From all thy works we still may draw; Yet help us, Lord, to read aright That which is seen with fainter light.
All-potent God! we pray for light To gild the gloom of error's night; Oh, grant us power to backward roll Its darkness from the human soul.
O Lord, our God! we thee implore, Keep us from sin forever more; Oh, haste the hour when truth's bright ray Shall usher in undying day.
All-seeing God! wher e'er we stray, Direct our steps in wisdom's way; And through the night, while wrapped in sleep, Till morning's dawn our spirits keep.
Eternal God! we humbly bow With fluttering hope before thee now; Thy goodness here with joy we trust; Oh, be thou near, when “dust to dust.”
— Geo. W. Dithridge.
