Lord, for myself I pray.

Loyal and blithe I'd be;

Giving my strength to men who need,

My heart to Thee.

Lord, for my home I pray.

Spirit of peace, brood o'er;

Open to God, the windows be,

To man, the door!

Lord, for my church I pray.

Heavenly Dove descend;

Grant that Thy Light, her lamp may be;

Thy Truth, her end.

Lord, for my friend I pray.

Send him some joy unsought;

Bring his ennobling dreams to pass,

The rest, to naught.

Lord, for my lan'd I pray.

Plenty and peace bestow;

Make it the friend of all who love,

Of hate, the foe.

Lord, for the world I pray.

Teach it to serve and sing;

Grant to each hand to find its task,

Each heart, its King
