[Written for the Sentinel]

Consecration

CLARA B. STRICKLAND

Father, help me now to know
That as garden flowers grow
Brave and gay,
I may in Thy love expand,
Quick to lend a helping hand,
So that some may understand
Thy good will.

May I truly keep Thy law,
Willingly, with reverent awe,
Day by day,
Letting Love serenely guide,
Fearing not to stand aside,
Knowing ill cannot betide,
When God leads.

Teach me true humility,
Let me gentle, patient be,
Unto all.
Show me how to do Thy will,
Say to error, "Peace, be still;"
Every void of darkness fill
With Thy truth.
