Prayer for Compassion

MARTHA MAY SMITH

Compassion wears soft robes of tenderness,
And seeks to bless humanity with peace;
Enfolds each struggling thought consolingly,
And whispers promises of sweet release;
Blinds up the broken ones and bids them look
For comfort in the precious "little book."
Revelation 10:2; Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, page 559.

Oh, clothe me with compassion, tender Love!
For I would give without self-seeking, pride;
Teach me to serve in thought as well as deed,
That waking hearts their longings may confide,
And, showing them Thy goodness, Thy dear might,
Let me point healing paths in Thy clear light.
