We Praise Thee, O Lord

HELEN A. LEE

For love that makes all alien people kin;For joy that glows, illuming all within;For peace, full flowing river of the soul;Long suffering charity, beholding aye the goal;For gentleness, compassionate to the poor;For goodness, native, changeless, and secure;For meekness, of reviling unaware,And temperance, to use Thy gifts with care;For faith, assurance Thou art still the samePure Spirit whom Thy plenteous gifts proclaim,—We laud and magnify Thy glorious name!
