A PRAYER, by                    
First Line: Take me, father, close to thee
Last Line: All, oh father, all is thine.
Subject(s): God; Prayer


Take me, Father, close to Thee.
Fill me with Humility.
Let me work from day to day;
Teach me, Father, how to pray.
With Thy Love enfold me now,
May I Live! Oh teach me how!
Abundant LIFE I seek from Thee,
Open my Eyes, that I may See.
Open my Ears, that I may Hear.
Take away my every Fear.
Lead me gently by the hand;
Help me NOW to understand.
Nothing that I have is mine,
ALL, Oh Father, ALL is Thine.
