PRAYER FOR A DAY

By Grace N. Crowell

 

God let me find the lonely ones.

Among the throng today,

And let me say the word to take,

The loneliness away;

So many walk with aching hearts,

Along the old highway.

 

So many walk with breaking hearts,

And no one understands;

They find the roadway rough and steep,

Across the barren lands;

God help me lighten weary eyes;

And strengthen nerveless hands.

 

God help me brighten dreary eyes,

And let my own grief be,

A sure reminder of the grief,

Of those who walk with me.

When words fail-hands fail-let me go,

In silent sympathy.
