Master may I walk a little way in life
along the path with you,
share a little of the light of love
when it comes into view.

From this light may I work and earn enough
to bear a lamp for thee.
May I carry this lamp each day of my life
a light for men to see.

And when I have earned my right to heal
in the name of the God of love,
make me always remember that what I do,
is given from God above.

May I work in His name and give my life
to serve as the Master taught.
When my work is done, may I find looking back
that I gave in life what I sought.

May I light a candle bright enough to take
to the realms of light above.
Let me work, so that when I pass from this life,
I have earned your blessing and love.
