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.
