Dearest Lord, May I see you today and everyday
in the person of Your sick,
in the person of Your sick,
and while nursing them,
minister unto You.
minister unto You.
Though you hide Yourself behind the unattractive disguise of the irritable,the exacting, the unreasonable,
may I still recognize you and say,
"Jesus my patient, how sweet it is to serve you."
may I still recognize you and say,
"Jesus my patient, how sweet it is to serve you."
Lord give me this seeing faith,
then my work will never be monotonous.
then my work will never be monotonous.
I will ever find joy in humoring the fancies
and gratifying the wishes of all poor sufferers.
and gratifying the wishes of all poor sufferers.
Oh beloved sick, how doubly dear you are!
