A PRAYER.
(Written for the United Press)
Though we be Blind, still may we see Thy Handiwork
and know Its worth ;
Though we be Dumb, still may we speak Thy Word
in Thought and Deed;
Though we be Deaf, still may we hear Thy Voice
and do Thy Bidding;
Though w,e be Halt- still may we walk Thy Way
nor go astray ;
And though we see and hear and speak and walk
as men,
Still may we know these things as but of earth;
of only passing need;
And if these gifts be ours through Thee,
It needs must be. that we can wrong no man.
Almighty God, grant this be our Thanksgiving.
