MORNING PRAYER

I have come to Thee to take thy touch before I begin my day.

Let thy eyes rest upon my eyes for a while.

Let me take to my work the assurance to the comradeship, my friend.

Fill my mind with thy music last through the desert of noise, Let thy love's sunshine kiss the peak of my thoughts And linger in my life's valley where the harvest ripens. (Rabindranath Tagore)
