Poems (Coolidge)/The Gifts I Seek
THE GIFTS I SEEK
Give me, O Lord, the daily grace With quiet mind to serve; A trustful heart, a loyal love, That I may never swerve.
Give me, O Lord, the inward peace That follows sweet commune, Till outward worries cease to chafe A life in glad attune.
And give me, Lord, a mind that is From all self-seeking free; So, all unconscious, may I draw Some other souls to thee.
