SYMPATHY by ANN HAMILTON (1902-)

First Line: ASK GOD TO GIVE THEE SKILL
Last Line: OF CHRISTLIKE TOUCH.
Subject(s): RELIGION; SYMPATHY; THEOLOGY; EMPATHY;
Ask God to give thee skill
In comfort's art,
That thou may'st consecrated be
And set apart
Unto a life of sympathy,
For heavy is the weight of ill
In every heart;
And comforters are needed much
Of Christlike touch.
