Not more of Light we ask, O God, | |||
But eyes to see what is; | |||
Not sweeter songs, but ears to hear | |||
The present melodies. | |||
Not more of strength, but how to use | |||
The power that we possess; | |||
Not more of love, but skill to turn | |||
A frown to a caress. | |||
Not more of joy, but how to feel | |||
Its kindling presence near, | |||
To give to others all we have | |||
Of courage and of cheer. | |||
No other gifts, dear God, we ask, | |||
But only sense to see | |||
How best those precious gifts to use | |||
Give us all fears to dominate, | |||
All holy joys to know; | |||
To be the friend we wish to be, | |||
To speak the truth we know. | |||
To love the pure, to seek the good, | |||
To lift with all our might | |||
All souls to dwell in harmony, | |||
In freedom's perfect light. | |||
Amen! | |||
