MY PRAYER, by                    
First Line: I kneel to pray
Last Line: Have thy way perfectly.
Subject(s): Prayer


I kneel to pray,
But know not what to say:
I cannot tell
What may be ill or well:
But as I look
Into Thy Face or Book
I see a love
From which I cannot move:
And learn to rest
In this—Thy will is best:

Therefore I pray
Only have Thine own way
In everything
My all wise God and King.
Grant me the grace
In all to give Thee place:
This liberty
Alone I ask of Thee:
This only gift,
Have Thy way perfectly.
