WOMEN'S WAR PRAYER.

O father, with one earnest prayer. We women come to Thee, Oh, take our loved one* 'neath Ihy care, Ou battlefield on sea in air--Wherever they may be. Not oui’a to wield the sword and tight, Nor from our land to roam, Hut Thou hast given us our right, To work—to pray—with all our might, Lor those away from home. Thou see’st all our anxious days, So little we can know ! Oh, help us still to trust and praise. And hearts and voices Heavenward raise, Lord, with our Armies go! God bless our Nurses, may they c heer The sojia of those they tend. Oh, keep them in Thy faith and fear. And help them oft to dry the tear, To speak of Thee, our Friend! Dear Saviour, for those Women’s sake W ho stood beside Thy c ross, Oh, think on hearts that well nigh break, Say to the sad—“ Weep npt!” and make Their comfort in their loss! Thou (iod of Hatties, he|y »>ur cry! Soon may this War he p^st. Look down with Thine all-pitying eye, In all our trouble's he Thou nigh, And give us Peace at last! Sophie A. M. James.
