FOOTSTEPS OF PRAYER

From the May 1891 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Teach me the way
O God, to pray.
Desire the Truth with all thy heart;
Strive for the Truth, what e'er the smart,
Then bend the knee,
And presently
Thy wish crowns thy humility.

Even as a little child I need Thee
O my Father! day by day:
Reach Thou Thy loving hand and lead me
Surely in the Perfect Way.
Day by day—
Day by day
Lead me in the Perfect Way.
