Who taught you how to pray?

O God, we pray Thee this night

To help us advance on to the Light—

Lead us through pathways of kindness and hope,

Let us not stray apart from Thee

Into narrow, dark and unholy ways—

Help us ever to feel Thy guiding hand,

Help us ever to appreciate our native land,

That we may learn to see beyond

By appreciating what we have at hand.

Dear Friend and Father, hear our prayer,

And bless us as we travel onward to Thee—

Teach us all, we pray, dear Lord,

How to thank Thee for the coming day.
