[horizontal line centered]

[hanging indent for lines of song]
"Keep us, O God, from pettiness; let us be large
[indent] in thought, in word, in deed.

Let us be done with fault finding and leave off
[indent] self-seeking.

May we put away all pretense and meet each
[indent] other face to face, without self-pity and
[indent] without prejudice.

May we never be hasty in judgement and always
[indent] generous.

Teach us to put in action our better impulses,
[indent] streaightforward and unafraid.

Teach us to take time for all things; make us
[indent] grow calm, serene and gentle.

Grant that we may realize that it is the little
[indent] things that create differences; that in the
[indent] big things of life we are one.

And may we strive to touch and to know the
[indent] great common woman's heart of us all,
[indent] and O Lord God! let us not forget to be
[indent] kind."
