Prayer to Be a Nurse

To be a nurse is to walk with God,

Along the path that our Master trod;

To soothe the achings of human pain,

To faithfully serve for little gain,

To lovingly do the kindly deed,

A cup of water to one in need,

A tender hand on a fevered brow,

A word of cheer to those living now;

To reach the souls through its body's woe

Oh, this is the way that Jesus would go.

Oh, white-capped nurses with hearts so true,

Our Great Physician is working through you.
