as we struggle between rain falls to
plant gardens and crops. Philippa
wrote it in the winter of 1942.
"Night Prayer of a Mother"
Dear Lord, I pass my burdens up,
I give Thee all my cares;
I feel Thy gentle peace that steals
Upon me unawares.
0, wilt Thou ease the tired ache,
Calm the hurried thought;
Straighten out the tangled threads
That in one day are wrought.
My little ones, dean Lord, keep safe
From any careless harm;
I tried to tuck them in tonight;
(It's hard to keep them warm.)
But Thou, whose watchful eye
ne'er sleeps,
Wilt vigilance not spare;
Nor in Thy mercy, hesitate
To supplement my care.
The dough I set to rise tonight
will keep my family fed;
Grant they may never know a lack
Of Thy Life-giving bread.
Now comes sweet sleep to make
me fit,
To meet another day,
Do for us more than we can ask
Is what I meant to pray.
