My Prayer

Mary H. Knox

Dear Father, what Thou hast for me to do
To-day, for Thee,
I pray Thee show me.
How may I help my brother man along the rugged way,
And thereby serve Thee?

I know that Thou wilt send Thy angel messengers
To tell me;
And I shall hear.
Whate'er they bring to me from Thee, I lovingly will give,
And have no fear.

And so attune my ears, dear Lord, to hear
Thy message clear,
And to reply
As did the little lad of long ago, when God did call,
Lord, here am I!
