How shall I call thee who art always here? ELIZA SCUDDER, 1821 I. ATHER, to us thy children, humbly kneeling, FATH Conscious of weakness, ignorance, sin, and shame, Give such a force of holy thought and feeling, That we may live to glorify thy name, 2. That we may conquer base desire and passion, 3. Let all thy goodness by our minds be seen, JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE, 1810-1888. |
