A Prayer for Lillian Gish
Lord, look
upon thy
servant Lillian Gish.
See Thou how
she lives!
Her simplest
act is truly
sourced in Thee.
See now, how
she steps
into a room
And leaves
behind a
benediction!
See now how
she walks
upon a stage
And leaves
thereon her
golden gifts
Her winged
spirit
See Lord,
her most gracious
gift of self.
And seeing,
keep they graces
fast around her
Now and forever.
Amen.
On the occasion of October 14 the birthday of Lillian Gish.
Undated and unsigned prayer
Source likely clergy or congregation of St. Bartholomew’s
Episcopal Church, Park Avenue, New York.
