The Rosicrucian Fellowship Prayer

Not more of Light we ask, O God,

but eyes to see what is

Not sweeter songs, but ears to hear

the present melodies

Not greater strength but how to use

the power that we possess;

Not more of love, but skill to turn

a frown to a caress

Not more of joy, but how to feel

Its kindling presence near;

To give to others all we have

of courage and of cheer.

No other gift, dear God, we ask,

but only sense to see,

how best the precious gifts to use

we have received from Thee

Give us all fears to dominate,

all holy joys to know;

To be the friends we wish to be,

to speak the truth we know

To love the pure, to seek the good,

to lift with all our might,

All souls to dwell in harmony

In freedom's perfect light.
