Transcript	The Prayer Perfect. Dear Lord! Kind Lord! Gracious Lord! I pray Thou wilt look on all I love Tenderly to-day! Weed their hearts of weariness Scatter every care Down a wake of angel-wings Winnowing the air. Bring unto the sorrowing Allrelease from pain; Let the lips of laughter Over-flow again; And with all the needy O divide, I pray, This vast treasure of content That is mine to-day!--James Whitcomb Riley
