With feeble fingers

"O Lord, if this were lost instead,
And all I had was you, I would
Be rich, and have the greatest Good......

This candle two gives little light,

And does not make the darkness bright.
But keep it lit and you will find:
Far better this than being blind.
One little flame when all is night,
Proves there is such a thing as light.
One answered prayer when all is gone,
Will give you hope to wait for dawn........

O God, I cling

With feeble fingers to the ledge
Of your great grace........"
