Teach Me the Truth

By Frances Green

Frances Green, in "Friends' Intelligencer"

Teach me the truth, Lord, tho it put to flight My cherished dreams and fondest fancy's play. Give me to know the darkness from the light, The night from day.

Teach me the truth, Lord, tho my heart may break In casting out the falsehood for the true. Help me to take my shattered life and make Its actions new.

Teach me the truth, Lord, tho my feet may fear The rocky path that opens out to me. Rough it may be, but let the way be clear That leads to Thee.

Teach me the truth, Lord, when false creeds decay, When man-made dogmas vanish with the night. Then, Lord, on Thee my darkened soul shall stay, Thou Living Light.
