Prayer III

For those that have done wrong to me,
No longer do I fetters ask,
Nor dungeons deep.

For hands that faithful toil for good
Send Thy instructions’ gracious aid,
And Holy strength.

For tender ones,
        the pure in heart
Do Thou, Oh God,
        their virtue save
With angel’s guard.

For all Thy children on this earth
May they Thy wisdom
      know alike,
In brother love.
