Father, I Scarcely Dare To Pray,
So Clear I See, Now It Is Done,
How I Have Wasted Half My Day,
And Left My Work But Just Begun.
So Clear I See That Things I Thought
Were Right Or Harmless Were A Sin;
So Clear I See That I Have Sought,
Unconscious, Selfish Aims To Win.
So Clear I See That I Have Hurt
The Souls I Might Have Helped To Save;
That I Have Slothful Been, Inert,
Deaf To The Calls Thy Leaders Gave.
In Outskirts Of Thy Kingdoms Vast
Father, The Humblest Spot Give Me;
Set Me The Lowliest Task Thou Hast,
Let Me Repentant Work For Thee.
