“My Prayer”—By June Allyson

Here so glad, so gay we three

Meet the new half-century.

Grateful on this holiday,

For all children let us pray,

Eyes of children looking up

To the fullness of Thy cup,

Hands of children trustfully,

Asking little things of Three.

Faith of children everywhere

These, the fabric of our prayer.

Let Thy blessings find them, Lord;

Let Thy wisdom sheathe the sword.

Let their lives unfold in worth,

Health and gladness, peace on earth.
