A Prayer

EMMA LOUISE GREENWOOD

Hold me in Thy presence, God,
Till I may come to see
Myself as Thy reflection,
Pure, joyous, free!
Hold me in Thy presence, God.

Let me feel Thy presence, Lord,
And know unfailing Love,
Love that giveth power and grace,
Grace from above.
Let me feel Thy presence, Lord.

School me, Lord, in righteousness
Till, strong in Principle,
I may grow to understand
Law invincible.
School me, Lord, in righteousness.

Fill me with compassion, Lord,
That my desire may be
But to see the perfect man
Reflecting Thee.
Hold me in Thy presence, Lord.
