A Prayer—Before Our Lectures

DOROTHY DAVIS-KYNNERSLEY

O Life! Athirst for Thee earth's children come,
The maimed, the halt, the blind, the deaf, the dumb;
And Thy pure Word is here for all to-day,
Not one who hears, need empty go away;
Ne'er shall Thy Word be spoken, Lord, in vain;
It shall accomplish, time and time again.

O Truth! Athirst for Thee earth's children wait,
Grateful and eager at the heavenly gate;
For Truth has come, as Christ, Truth, came before,
To give us Life abundant, more and more!
Never Thy Word returneth void to Thee,
But shall fulfill Thy will eternally!

O Love! Longing for Thee earth's children meet
In one blest unity, their God to greet.
Love is the guide that brought them here to-day,
Truth, though they know it not, the only Way!
Life is the promise, God to know aright,
And Christ whom Thou hast sent, the world's one Light!
