A PRAYER.

By Ella Cornish

I BRING to Thee, O Lord, my utter nothingness, Take Thou my sins away and give me righteousness. Take Thou my sorrow, grief, and care, and give in place The peace and hope and joy of Thy sustaining grace. For unbelief give faith, for doubt confiding trust; Consider Thou my frame, remember it is dust And doomed to death; impart Thy life that I may live; Thy strength, O Lord, made perfect in my weakness, give. Defenseless, clothe me with the armor of Thy might, And blind, anoint my eyes that I receive my sight. O give me wisdom, courage, patience, all I need To gain the victory o’er sin,—for these I plead In merit of my Saviour’s all-atoning blood And plunge for cleansing in that precious, crimson flood.
