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.
