A PRAYER 

To my Friend
EUGENIE RICHET
Portland, Ore.

IN silent prayer on bended knee,I lift my soul, Oh, God, to Thee;Thou see'st my heart; know'st my despair.To thee I do confide all care;On bended knee, Oh, God, I prayTo rightly guide me on my way.
In silent prayer, on bended knee,I bow, Oh, God, most high, to Thee;Oh, cleanse my soul, make pure my heart,And give me strength to bear Life's part;In woe or weal, on bended knee,Oh, let me never doubt in Thee.
