A Physician's Prayer


Lord, who on earth did minister
To those who helpless lay
In pain and weakness, hear me now
As unto Thee I pray.

Give to mine eyes the power to see
The hidden source of ill:
Give to my hands the healing touch
The throb pain to still.

Grant that mine ears be swift to hear
THE CRY OF THOSE IN PAIN:
Give to my tongue the words that bring
Comfort and strength again.

Fill thou my heart with tenderness.
My brain with wisdom true,
And when in weariness I sink
Strengthen me then anew.

So in thy footsteps may I tread,
Strong in Thy strength always
So may I do Thy blessed work
And praise Thee day by day.
