NOT FOR SELF.

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.
Nor for self I ask for glory, Not for self I ask for fame, But I ask that I may comfort Some poor sinner "in His Name."
Ask that light may shine through darkness, Ask that I may emptied be. Let thy light and let thy glory Brightly shine, dear Lord, through me.
I would seek the sad, the lowly, I would comfort hearts bowed down; I would tell the sweet old story Of the cross and of the crown.
Take me, Lord; I'm poor and helpless, Knowing naught as I should know; Thou art strong and thou art mighty; Guide me, Lord, where'er I go.
