Poems (Baldwyn)/Lines written on Recovering from Sickness
LINES WRITTEN ON RECOVERING FROM SICKNESS.
To Thee, oh God, I raise the prayer Of gratitude and love, Who bore me up when dark despair O'ershadowed all above.
To Thee alone I give the praise For my returning strength; Oh, lead me henceforth in thy ways, And to thy heaven at length.
Oh, break the chain of binding sin That keeps me from thy love; And cleanse me from my guilt within, And place each hope above.
Permit the light of heavenly grace To guard me lest I stray; While through this lovely earth I trace My solitary way.
