Lord, the newness of the day
Calls us to the untried way.
May we, when face to face in our Club meeting,
Be not hasty in judgment, but gentle in greeting.

All our faultfinding take away,
And any pretense or prejudice, we pray.
From us all pettiness wilt Thou keep,
So that thoughts of self we will not seek.

Let us be unafraid, for all things take time,
Be broad-minded, generous, always kind;
Be straightforward, serene, and calm;
Our impulses better, with no thought of harm.

Help us to realize that differences create
Thoughts of jealousy, strife, and hate.
Let our words and deeds be so done
That in big things of life we are as one.

May we strive always ever to be
Large in thought, more like Thee.
To us the gift of peace restore --
Touch our hearts with goodness once more.

Let us take today, and do our part
As our part is given,
For that's the way to woman's heart;
That's the way to Heaven.
