On Psalm 138:6 A Prayer

Lord Take away 'the pride of life' from me,


That I might walk in true humility 


Not that the world's loud praise should crown my story

 

But to receive, and glimpse your Love and Glory

 

For it is high and greatly to be prized

 

Not shunned or scorned by such as walk unwise.

 

One touch from Thee makes life and breath more sweet


Than gaudy treasures bartered in the street. 


Humble me Lord that I might touch your hem

 

And touch your Virtue, not the praise of men.
