By George Alexander KohutPrayer for the Day of Atonement
(Yom Kippur, 5662.)
I
That Thy great Love was guiding me;
If I have missed the open path
Of Truth, which e’er Thy sanction hath;
If, busy with the passing hour,
I noted not Thy glorious Power;
And, ’mid the boast and pomp of things,
Restrained my spirit on its wings;
Then, Father, show me Grace I pray,
And lead me toward the righteous way;
Then, Lord of Hosts, compassion me,
And let Thy Love my shelter be!
