Who Am I To Teach?

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.
