A Child's Prayer: Make My Life a Little Light
God, make my life a little light
Within the world to glow
A little flame that burneth bright
Wherever I may go.
God, make my life a little flower
That giveth joy to all
Content to bloom in native bower
Although the place be small.
God, make my life a little song
That comforteth the sad
That helpeth others to be strong
And makes the singer glad.
–M. Betham-Edwards
