True Happiness

CATHERINE M. CLISSOLD

My Father-Mother, help me day by day
Thy law to love, Thy dictates to obey,
To see all men Thy sons, Thy children dear,
Safe in the perfect Love that casts out fear.

Then shall Thy peace infold me, heart and life,
Thy balm surround me, silencing all strife,
Thy joy my strength, all ills to overcome,
Thy truth the light to guide me safely home.
