The Teacher |
|
LORD, who am I to teach the way | |
To little children day by day, | |
So prone myself to go astray? | |
I teach them KNOWLEDGE, but I know | |
How faint they flicker and how low | |
The candles of my knowledge glow. | |
I teach them POWER to will and do, | |
But only now to learn anew | |
My own great weakness through and through. | |
I teach them LOVE for all mankind | |
And all God’s creatures, but I find | |
My love comes lagging far behind. | |
Lord, if their guide I still must be, | |
Oh let the little children see | |
The teacher leaning hard on Thee. | |
