A MORNING PRAYER (FOR A TEACHER), by                    
First Line: Be near this whole day through
Last Line: Father divine!
Subject(s): God; Prayer


Be near this whole day through.
Bless me with insight true,
Father Divine!

Teach me to stay reproof,
Wake in some careless youth
Purpose to seek the truth,
Father Divine!

Help me find time to think—
God-thoughts with lessons link—
Longings of mine
Deep in new strivings sink,
Father Divine!
