PRAYER, by ALFARATA BOWDOIN HILTON
First Line: Not peace, but strength, for peace shall be unending
Last Line: Of pity to its farthest limits pressed.

NOT peace, but strength, for peace shall be unending
When we are one with timeless Deity.
Today my need is courage, that ascending
My soul shall nearer find infinity.
Not with slow steps or faltering be my journey,
Nor let me eased in narrow pleasures rest,
But boldly fare, undaunted by the sorrow
Of pity to its farthest limits pressed.
