God, Grant Me the Glory of Thy Gift
Helen Steiner Rice
God, widen my vision so I may see
the afflictions You have sent to me---
Not as a cross too heavy to bear
that weighs me down in gloomy despair---
Not as something to hate and despise
but a gift of love sent in disguise---
Something to draw me closer to You
to teach me the patience and forbearance, too---
Something to show me more clearly the way
to serve You and love You more everyday---
Something priceless and precious and rare
that will keep me forever safe in Thy care
Aware of the spiritual strength that is mine
if my selfish, small will is lost in Thine!
