Prayer to Do Good
(F.B. Meyer England, 1847-1929)
Forgive me, most gracious Lord and Father,
if this day I have done or said anything
to increase the pain of the world.
Pardon the unkind word,
the impatient gesture,
the hard and selfish deed,
the failure to show sympathy and kindly help
where I had the opportunity,
but missed it;
and enable me so to live
that I may daily do something
to lessen the tide of human sorrow,
and add to the sum of human happiness.
