THE TEACHER, by LESLIE PINCKNEY HILL First Line: Lord, who am I to teach the way Last Line: The teacher leaning hard on thee. Subject(s): Prayer; Schools; Students | ||||||||
Lord, who am I to teach the way To little children day by day, So prone myself to go astray? I teach them KNOWLEDGE, but I know How faint they flicker and how low The candles of my knowledge glow. I teach them POWER to will and do, But only now to learn anew My own great weakness through and through. I teach them LOVE for all mankind And all God's creatures, but I find My love comes lagging far behind. Lord, if their guide I still must be, Oh, let the little children see The teacher leaning hard on Thee. | Other Poems of Interest...THE FUTURE OF TERROR / 1 by MATTHEA HARVEY IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
