My Prayer

By M. A. Creeper

M. A. CREEPER

I stood on my balcony musing; The earth lay in white at my feet, Beautiful white, not marred nor broken, Wrapping the earth in wintry token. And from the depth of my heart I prayed: O, make me white, like the snow Thou hast made!

I lifted my eyes toward heaven, Full studded with glittering lights; They all are God’s glory reflecting, The greater the lesser protecting. And from the depth of my heart I prayed: Make me a light, like the stars thou hast made!

I looked all around me, watching The landscape, tranquil and calm; Not a breath was stirring the mantle white, Not a cloud was crossing the golden light. And from the depth of my heart I prayed: O, grant me such peace that never will fade!
