PRAYER FOR SHUT-INS, by                    
First Line: Because, dear lord, their way is rough and steep
Last Line: Please give fresh courage, ease their load.
Subject(s): Convalescence


Because, dear Lord, their way is rough and steep,
And some are sore perplexed, and some do weep,
We come to ask that Thou wilt show the way
And give Thy rod and staff to be their stay.

Especially, dear Lord, for these we ask,
Who have not strength to meet their task;
And for all weary on the road
Please give fresh courage, ease their load.
