Oh, Master of the World of men And Ruler of Eternity, Neither with voice nor flowing pen Have I asked many things from Thee; I have not begged for wealth or fame With selfish prayers of little worth, Nor have I called upon Thy name To smite my enemies to earth. Yet now to Thee I raise my eyes And lift my voice for Thee to hear; No rich and sordid gift I prize, No plethora of gold and gear; Only this single boon I pray, "That in a busy world and wide, Whether my life be grave or gay, ' I may not grow self-satisfied. So, till my final hour is spent, Until' my work and play are through, Lord, let me never be content With what I am or what I do; Deliver me from smug conceit Which clogs the heart and mind in action This is the prayer which I repeat, "Lord, guard me from self-satisfaction !"
