My Prayer

By John G. Whittier

If there be some weaker one, Give me strength to help him on; If a blinder soul there be, Let me guide him nearer Thee. Make my mortal dreams come true With the work I fain would do; Clothe with life the weak intent, Let me be the thing I meant; Let me find in Thy employ Peace that dearer is than joy; Out of self to love be led, And to Heaven acclimated, Until all things sweet and good Seem my natural habitude.
— John G. Whittier.
