A PRAYER Two thousand years to learn of Thee, O Christ! Thou man of Galilee; And, blinded still, we cry aloud Of visions that we never see. With facile tongue we name Thy name; With ready phrases we proclaim That Thou art Master, Thou art Lord, Whose life our own doth daily shame. We tread Thy steps — on polished floor; We 'bear Thy cross — in golden ore; A single gem of those we wear Would clothe the beggar at our door. Have mercy, Lord, we humbly pray, And patience, that Thy children may Yet learn the heart of Him to whom A thousand years are as a day. —Mary Lawson Neff, in the Craftsman.
