A Prayer

A. JACQUELINE SHAW

"Jesus saith unto him [the high priest], ... Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power."—Matt. 26:64.

Humbly we ask to love as Jesus loved:
To stand with him upon the sacred mount
Of revelation, where our Master proved
That all was good, and sin was nothingness.

We ask to follow him in all his ways:
To face the foe undaunted; take the hand
Of him betraying us; and glad with praise
Look up to Love, and see the wrong as naught.

Strong, knowing thus the Christ, to walk with him
The way: compassionate, to give compassion;
Merciful, give mercy; till the vision dim
Grows brighter, and our peace returns to us.
