Sword Prayer

WHITE HORIZONS

SWORD PRAYER

Draw me from the scabbard of my unworthiness,

Warrior God,

And whirl me unswerving in the forefront of hosts!

Break me in the first thrust of your advance

And throw the shattered steel of my strength to the

ground.

Draw tougher blades, draw them with your might-

I shall have over me the great tread of your marching men

And dust for my sheathing.
