Dear Father, give me the wisdom
To help those who come to me,
Seeking Thee.
Rightly distributing the truth
In deepest humility.
Let me never turn away from those who mourn!
These are the ones who must be told,
The sick and sinful, the tempest-torn,
Of Thy great love that is never old.
And as they journey along the way
Strengthened, enlightened, joyous, free;
May they all pause and without delay
Return to give thanks to Thee, not me.
