Dear Father, for Thy love and constant care
My overflowing heart sends forth this prayer.
Oh, may I speak Thy truth courageously
Where ignorant and bound need to be free.
May I so live that ever in Thy sight
My life shines with a pure and holy light.
May Love divine in me be so expressed
That every hungry heart feels loved and blessed.
With gratitude and deep humility
May I deny myself, reflecting Thee.
Dear Father, for Thy love and constant care
My grateful heart sings praises in this prayer.
