A PRAYER.

By S. Elmer

GIVER of every perfect gift, Maker of all things here, Our hearts in grateful prayer we lift, Assured that thou art near.
Thy tender care has led us on, Thy word has been our stay; Still let the light that shines therefrom Illuminate our way,
To scatter error from the mind, And let the truth impart A holy, sanctifying power, On every willing heart.
Although we are unworthy, Lord, To press our suit to thee, Yet think upon the Saviour's prayer, Made in Gethsemane.
When darkness gathers round our way, And foes our steps assail, Then let that prayer once offered up In our behalf, prevail.
Unite us to the living vine, And make us one in thee; So shall the wondering world discern Who thy disciples be. S. ELMER. Ashfield, Mass.
