The following is a poem written by Mrs. Williamson: Dear Lord: Help me from day to day I pray, Keep me sweet and gentle in Thy way Though the path I trod is sometimes rough If you walk beside me, that's enough. When I cry if you will dry my tears Comfort me and chase away my fears When I'm lonely, comfort to me give When I'd rather die help me to live; Always be with me and be my guide, Then within Thy shadow I'll abide So that I'll be ready on that day That you come and usher me away.
