A Physician's Prayer

A Physician's Prayer

 

Lord, Thou Great Physician, I kneel before Thee.

Since every good and perfect gift must come from Thee

I pray give skill to my hand, clear vision to my mind,

Kindness and sympathy to my heart.

Give me singleness of purpose, strength to lift at least

A part of the burden of my suffering fellow men,

And true realizations of the rare privilege that is mine.

 

Take from my heart all guile and worldliness,

That with the simple faith of a child I may rely on Thee
