Psalm on Time

By Gertrude Viehweg Todd

Father in Heaven, unto me

Thou gavest time, eternity—

Time that I might come to earth,

Make myself a child of worth:

A life of service here to spend,

To broken hearts kind words extend,

To educate and train my mind,

To help lost souls thy path to find.

This span of time thou gavest me,

I’ll return in love to thee.

Dear Father, if I’ve used it well,

May I come to thee and dwell?
