The Pilgrim's Prayer

MARTHA BAILEY PROCTOR

O thou almighty One, who by the handOf Moses led Thy flock from Egypt's land,Though scattered in the dark and cloudy day,The rifted clouds reveal the lighted wayThat leads from bondage to the claims of sense,To liberty in Thee, omnipotence!The journey may be long and sense impede,But Love provides for every human need.
