A Prayer

God grant me kindly thought
   And patience through the day,
 And in the things I’ve wrought
   Let no man living say
 That hate’s grim mark has stained
 What little joy I’ve gained.
 
 God keep my nature sweet,
   Teach me to bear a blow,
 Disaster and defeat,
   And no resentment show.
 If failure must be mine
 Sustain this soul of mine.
 
 God grant me strength to face
   Undaunted day or night;
 To stoop to no disgrace
   To win my little fight;
 Let me be, when it is o’er,
 As manly as before.
