|
|
<p>A little kingdom I possess,<br>
|
|
Where thoughts and feelings dwell,<br>
|
|
And very hard I find the task<br>
|
|
Of governing it well;<br>
|
|
For passion tempts and troubles me,<br>
|
|
A wayward will misleads,<br>
|
|
And selfishness its shadow casts,<br>
|
|
On all my will and deeds.
|
|
<p>How can I learn to rule myself,<br>
|
|
To be the child I should,<br>
|
|
Honest and brave, nor ever tire<br>
|
|
Of trying to be good?<br>
|
|
How can I keep a sunny soul<br>
|
|
To shine along life’s way?<br>
|
|
How can I tune my little heart,<br>
|
|
To sweetly sing all day?</p>
|
|
<p>Dear Father, help me with the love<br>
|
|
That castest out my fear!<br>
|
|
Teach me to lean on Thee and feel<br>
|
|
That thou art very near.<br>
|
|
That no temptation is unseen,<br>
|
|
No childish grief too small,<br>
|
|
Since Thou, with patience infinite,<br>
|
|
Dost soothe and comfort all.</p>
|
|
<p>I do not ask for any crown<br>
|
|
But that which all may win;<br>
|
|
Nor try to conquer any world<br>
|
|
Except the one within.<br>
|
|
Be Thou my Guide until I find,<br>
|
|
Led by a tender hand,<br>
|
|
Thy happy kingdom in myself<br>
|
|
And dare to take command.</p>
