THE PARSON'S PRAYER.
I DO NOT ASK
THAT CROWDS MAY THRONG THE TEMPLE,
THAT STANDING ROOM BE PRICED,
I ONLY ASKED THAT AS I VOICE THE MESSAGE,
THEY MAY SEE CHRIST.
I DO NOT ASK
FOR CHUCHLY POMP OR PAGEANT
OR MUSIC SUCH AS WEALTH ALONE CAN BUY,
I ONLY ASK THAT AS I VOICE THE MESSAGE,
HE MAY BE NIGH!
I DO NOT ASK
THAT MEN MAY SING MY PRAISES
OR HEADLINES SPREAD MY NAME ABROAD,
I ONLY PRAY THAT AS I VOICE THE MESSAGE,
HEARTS MY FIND GOD!
I DO NOT ASK
FOR EARTHLY PLACE OR LAUREL
OR OF THIS WORLD'S DISTINCTIONS ANY PART
I ONLY ASK WHEN I HAVE VOICE THE MESSAGE
MY SAVIOR'S HEART!
Ra R.S CUSHMAN.
