My Prayer
O Lord, open my eyes to see
What you saved me to be.
And my ears to hear
What to you is dear.
Open my heart to know
The path you will I follow,
So to a noble height I'll aspire
What for me you greatly desire.
Strengthen my feeble feet to stand
On what I see, hear, and understand.
Stay my peace until yours I become—
'Till you've cleansed me of every scum.
In my faint thought, word, and step,
Fill me with your grace and pep
Until you preen with glee,
For the fruit of your work in me.
