Desire

RUTH C. FORTSON

Fashion my heart to love, dear God,
That I may bless
The lonely ones who yearn for love
And tenderness.

Fashion my heart to kindness, Lord,
That I may know
When other hearts are bowed with grief,
To heal their woe.

Fashion my heart to pity, Lord,
That I may seek
To give my erring brother aid
When he is weak.

Fashion my heart to courage, Lord,
That it may be
A bulwark strong against all wrong,
Continually.
