We ask not riches, fame, or ease,
But rather, God, we ask that these
Sweet graces of Thy gentleness
Be ours to share and others bless:
A grateful heart, humility,
A song of joy and praise to Thee;
A prayer that love our thoughts may fill
And error's claims forever still;
The tender word, the kindly hand,
Forgiveness, peace, the strength to stand
In Spirit's might; our trust to place
In Truth, our steadfast dwelling place.
We seek Christ's vision clear of Love,
The healing light of Truth, above
The mist of human dreams and strife,
And in Love's vision we find Life.
