To speak a word for Thee, O loving Father;
And help to set a wandering step aright;
Into the bitter wine of life's deep chalice
To drop a pearl of thought imbued with healing might.
'T is all we ask of Thee, O loving Father;
There is no self in this our humble plea,
That Thou wilt use us in Thy service holy,
To do Thy perfect will and turn some heart to Thee.
