A PRAYER.

By A. R. Wilcox

BY A. R. WILCOX.
O LORD, in faith we come to thee; Thy help and grace we now implore; Our hearts make clean from sinful stains; Oh, dwell in us for evermore!
We are dependent, weak, undone; Uphold us, Lord, or we must fall; 'Tis joy supreme while here to find In thee our strength, our all in all.
In blessings rich, oh, let us share, Ungrateful though we ever prove! In praise for all thy gifts to us The truest love our lips shall move.
Thy servants bless in all the world; To them thy Spirit free impart; And may the precious seeds of truth Bear glorious fruit in many a heart.
Abundant grace on all bestow; When weary hearts with grief are press'd, Oh, may they find in thee a place Of boundless comfort, peace, and rest!
Our wayward steps wilt thou attend; May evil snares be turned aside; Grant us a place with thee above; In mansions blest would we abide.
Athens, Vt.
