FROM DAY TO DAY

REV. JAMES J. ROME.

Father , give me an understanding heart,
That I may learn to know myself, and see
Where I should spurn the wrong and choose the better part,
And thus from sinful bondage be set free.

Give me, withal, a meek and contrite heart,
That I may learn to quell all selfish pride,
Before Thee bowing, see Thee as Thou art,
And 'neath Thy sheltering wings may safely hide.

And give me, too, a gentle, loving heart,
That I may learn to be more tender, kind,
And with the healing touch each bleeding smart
With Christly bands of love and truth to bind.

And grant me, Lord, that I may ever be,
With every closing eve or morn begun,
Steadfast and true; my heart at-one with Thee;
And this my constant prayer: "Thy will be done."
