Help me to love, oh Lord, those so unlovely.
Help me to be Your servant alone.
I know You would have me show love to all people.
Show care and concern just as You’ve always shown.
Grant me the patience with those who move slowly,
Who tell the same stories time and again.
The patience to listen, to help when it’s needed,
Just show them through me Your love for all men.
