My Nurse's Prayer

When I falter, give me courage. When I tire, renew my strength. When I weaken because I'm human, Inspire me on to greater length. If doctors and patients become demanding, And days are too short for all my duty, Help me remember I chose to serve, To do so with grace, and spiritual beauty. In humility, Lord, I labour long hours, And though I sometimes may fret; My mission is mercy. Abide with me, that I may never forget.
