A PRAYER 

To my Friend
EUGENIE RICHET
Portland, Ore.

IN silent prayer on bended knee,
 I lift my soul, Oh, God, to Thee;
Thou see'st my heart; know'st my despair.
 To thee I do confide all care;
On bended knee, Oh, God, I pray
 To rightly guide me on my way.

In silent prayer, on bended knee,
 I bow, Oh, God, most high, to Thee;
Oh, cleanse my soul, make pure my heart,
 And give me strength to bear Life's part;
In woe or weal, on bended knee,
 Oh, let me never doubt in Thee.
