A Prayer

By Mrs. M. D. Smith

Our Father, in mercy look down from above, Cheer us with Thy presence, Thy blessings, Thy love; Preserve us in faith from Satan's foul snares; Sustain us in sorrows, cast out worldly cares.

Not our will but Thy will our pathway to guide, Wash us clean in Christ's blood, and with us abide. O, teach us more clearly to see day by day We may have to answer for some brother's way; We owe to mankind that our lights clearly shine, To guide other pilgrims to Thy home di- vine. May we be a stay to the feeble and old; In Thy love confirm, in Thy goodness hold.

And when we are done with earth and its cares, Been guided in mercy up life's slippery stairs, At the feet of our Saviour, saved, saved by Thy grace, Grant that we e'er live in the light of Thy face, And meet again dear ones, no, never to roam, And with them dwell in love in our own Father's home.
