Explore "Invocation for 1868" by Mary Baker Eddy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ Father of every age, / Of every rolling sphere, / Help us to write a deathless page / Of truth, this dawning year!
/ Help us to humbly bow / To Thy all-wise behest -- / Whate'er the gift of joy or woe, / Knowing Thou knowest best.
/ Aid our poor soul to sing / Above the tempest's glee; / Give us the eagle's fearless wing, / The dove's to soar to Thee!
/ All-merciful and good, / Hover the homeless heart! / Give us this day our daily food / In knowing what Thou art!
Swampscott, Mass., _January 1, 1868_.
