PRAYER by ROBERT FREEMAN

First Line: WHITE CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL, LEAD ON
Last Line: WHAT ONCE THEY SCORNED, HELP ME BE TRUE!
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

White Captain of my soul, lead on;
I follow thee, come dark or dawn.
Only vouchsafe three things I crave:
Where terror stalks, help me be brave!
Where righteous ones can scarce endure
The siren call, help me be pure!
Where vows grow dim, and men dare do
What once they scorned, help me be true!
