A Prayer

SARAH WILSON MIDDLETON

Dear God of life, raise Thou the dead,—
In sin and false beliefs asleep.
Through dark and doubt, help them to know
That Thou art near, and watch dost keep!

Dear God of truth, smite with Thy sword
The demon fear of error's night;
Unchain the captive slaves of sense,
And free them all through Spirit's might!

Dear God of love, heal with Thy Word
The sick; loose those in hatred's thrall.
The weary, sorrowing, lacking, lone—
Oh, help them know that Love is All!
