God, help us to behold ourselves
Not by our brightest star
As we may seem to others now
But as we really are.
Help us to analyze our worth
With thinking that is sound
And so be certain that we keep
Our feet upon the ground.
And thereby never to forget
That all great deeds we do
And every claim we have to fame
Belong at last to you.
There is no problem on this earth
That we could ever face
Or any dream that could come true
Without your loving grace.
So help us, God, to serve You well
And draw a little nearer
As humbly we appraise ourselves
When we look in a mirror.
