by John Hunter (1848 - 1917)
Dear Master In Whose Life
Language: English
Dear Master, in whose life I see All that I would, but fail to be; Let Thy clear light forever shine, To shame and guide this life of mine. Though what I dream and what I do In my weak days are always two, Help me, oppressed by things undone, O Thou, whose deeds and dreams were one!
