Paul Laurence Dunbar

A Prayer

O LORD, the hard—won miles
Have worn my stumbling feet:
Oh, soothe me with thy smiles,
And make my life complete.
 
The thorns were thick and keen
Where’er I trembling trod;
The way was long between
My wounded feet and God.
 
Where healing waters flow
Do thou my footsteps lead.
My heart is aching so;
Thy gracious balm I need
