Prayer

[Guest guest]

Prayer

My hands too limp to thee salute,

My voice is choked, I cannot sing,

Oh I leaks, there are, in my poor flute,

My breath is wasted, doth not ring. '

My head is heavy full of care,

So weighty, Oh! I cannot bow,

So much my body pain, doth tear,

To prostrate, Oh! doth not allow. '

Oh ! Sai show mercy, give me strength, ' .

My hands to lift in praise of thee, '

And fill my voice with vibrant length,

My songs to reach in praise of thee.

Oh! free, my head of load of care,

That I may humbly bow to thee,

And give me peace my pain to bear,

That I may fall at the feet o'thee.
