"A Christmas Prayer" "A Christmas Prayer" Copyright © Helen Steiner Rice 0 God, our help in ages past, Our hope in years to be Look down upon this present And see our need of Thee. For in this age of unrest, With danger all around, We need Thy hand to lead us To higher, safer ground. We need Thy help and counsel To make us more aware That our safety and security Lie solely in Thy care. And so we pray this Christmas To feel Thy presence near And for Thy all-wise guidance Throughout the coming year. First, give us understanding Enough to make us kind, So we may judge all people With our heart and not our mind. Then give us strength and courage To be honorable and true And place our trust implicitly In unseen things and You. And help us when we falter And renew our faith each day And forgive our human errors And hear us when we pray. And keep us gently humble In the greatness of Thy love So some day we are fit to dwell With Thee in peace above. |
