Desire

WILLIAM B. HIGGINBOTHAM

"Desire is prayer."—Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, page 1.

Healing Christ, heal me to-day
From the ills which lead astray.
Heal the thought; consciousness fill
With the wisdom of God's will.
Thou my great Physician be,
Bringing immortality.

Guiding Christ, guide me to-day
In thy meek and lowly way;
Quell the storm of human will
With thy mandate, "Peace, be still,"
That in thee I may be free,
Knowing immortality.

Loving Christ, teach me to-day,
Love in all things to obey,
Learning harmony, until
There is perfected the skill
In my brethren all to see
Glorious immortality.
