Prayer For A New Day


Prayer For a New Day
by Jane White Chamberlain

When the dawn is in the making
And the world lies all dew-pearled
By the rays of the sun that is breaking
Upon a waking world –
With faith and hope in our hearts
To make this day the best
In all things do our part
That night shall bring us rest.
Thus do we pray at waking
For faith holding strong and true,
For courage to have for the taking,
Courage for tasks we must do.

Jane White Chamberlain Circa 1940
Sam's Great Grandmother
