A Hymn

BY M. C. S. W.

Lead me gently, Love Divine,
Through this maze of mortal strife;
Let thy brightness round me shine,
Breathe in me thy Perfect Life.

Selfishness and pride remove,
Drive impatience from my heart,
Fill me with forgiving love,
More of Good and Truth impart.

Love Divine! O let me know
That the everlasting arms
Where earth's dark, deep waters flow,
Hold me safe from all alarms.

When my spirit cries for bread
And I only find a stone,
When in thorny paths I tread,
Let me say Thy will be done;

Know that every seeming ill
Worketh in the end for good,
Love Divine my spirit fill,
Feed me with thy heavenly food.

Infinite Eternal Power!
Source of Being! Fount of Life!
Lead and guide me every hour
Through this maze of mortal strife.

We'd love to hear from you!
