So Do We Pray
by Jane White Chamberlain
We thank thee, Lord, for blessing given,
For fruitful years that we have striven
To use the lessons Thou didst give
To humans all, to help us live.
Grant that we walk in humble ways
To meet the challenge of these days
Help us to act that wars may cease
And nations turn to ways of peace.
Let homes be started, children born,
Nor let them evermore be torn
From mother, father, sister, wife
To fight another bitter strife.
So do we pray as twilight falls
And ask Thy blessing on us all.
