A PRAYER.

By John Greenleaf 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. —J. G. Whittier.
