TEACHER’S PRAYER
Each time before I face my class,
I hesitate a while and ask the father,
Help me Lord to understand each child,
Help me to see in everyone
A precious soul Most dear
And may I lead that child
Through paths of wonder,
Not of fear.
Heavenly Father as they look to me
For true guidance.
I look to you Lord.
And humbly ask that you will teach me too.
