A LITTLE PRAYER by ELLEN MAE NICHOLS

First Line: I PRAY YOU MAKE ME HUMBLE, LORD
Last Line: THUS MAKE MY LIFE COMPLETE.
Subject(s): GOD; PRAYER;
I pray You make me humble, Lord;
More gentle and more kind --
And if I sometimes stumble, Lord,
Just see that I don't grumble, Lord.
Give me a grateful mind.

I wish to find more pleasure, Lord,
In every task I do.
I wish to share the treasure, Lord,
With others in full measure, Lord,
Of gifts received from You.

I pray You make me tender, Lord,
Of all whom I may meet;
And let me see the splendor, Lord,
Of @3You,@1 my great defender, Lord:
Thus make my life complete.
