Author: Helen Hunt Jackson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3587 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Father, I scarcely dare to pray Lyrics: 1. Father, I scarcely dare to pray,
So clear I see, now it is done,
How I have wasted half my day,
And left my work but just begun.
So clear I see that things I thought
Were right or harmless were a sin;
So clear I see that I have sought,
Unconscious, selfish aims to win.
2. So clear I see that I have hurt
The souls I might have helped to save;
That I have slothful been, inert,
Deaf to the calls Thy leaders gave.
In outskirts of Thy kingdoms vast
Father, the humblest spot give me;
Set me the lowliest task Thou hast,
Let me repentant work for Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: SAGINA
A Last Prayer
