"Grant unto us, Almighty God,
that when our vision fails,
and our understanding is darkened;
when the ways of life seem hard,
and the brightness of life is gone,
- to us grant the wisdom 
that deepens faith 
when the sight is dim,
and enlarges trust
when the understanding is not clear. 

And whensoever Thy ways
in nature or in the soul
are hard to be understood,
then may our quiet confidence,
our patient trust,
our loving faith in Thee 
be great,

And as children knowing
that they are loved,
cared for, 
guarded, 
kept,
may we with a quiet mind
at all times
put our trust in the unseen God." 

[George Dawson, 1821-1876]
