This is my prayer, dear God, Father of all:
Not for more blessings, since I am the heir
Of Thine infinitude and now recall
Each tender proof of Thy long-suffering care;
Rather for growth in grace that I may prove
My worthiness of love in loving deed,
And thus, reflecting Love, indeed may move
My brother to seek further in his need
And find the Principle that saves and heals.
So, helping one another, may we go
Onward with that high vision which reveals
Thy holy city, knowing that these slow
And halting footsteps on the narrow way
Will disappear when we awake to day.
