Morning Prayer: A Poem

As I rise to greet the sun,

My daily duties thus to run,

I pray for God to let me be,

Useful today in His service free,

Lord help me be,

   A servant to Thee!

******************

This world is so dark and cold,

May I be filled with light and bold,

Let me encourage a friend with a load,

And send them to You as their abode,

Lord help me be,

 A blessing today!

******************

Though I may stumble today,

Help me continue on the blessed way,

Until I meet Thee high in the sky,

And bid this filthy world goodbye,

Lord help me be,

   A pilgrim of hope!
