Place Your Healing Touch In My Hands
Unknown Author

Help me as I care
for my patients today,
Be there with me,
O Lord, I pray
Make my words kind
--it means so much--
And in my hands place
Your healing touch
Let your love shine
through all that I do,
So those in need
may hear and feel You.

A Nurse's Prayer
Unknown Author

I dedicate myself to thee,
0 Lord, my God, this work I undertake
Alone in thy great name, and for thy sake.
In ministering to suffering I would learn
The sympathy that in thy heart did burn.
Take, then, mine eyes, and teach them to perceive
The ablest way each sick one to relieve.
Guide thou my hands, that e'en their touch may prove
The gentleness and aptness born of love.
Bless thou my feet, and while they softly tread
May faces smile on many a sufferer's bed.
Touch thou my lips, guide thou my tongue,
Give me a work in sermon for each one.
Clothe me with patience, strength all tasks to bear,
Crown me with hope and love, which know no fear,
And faith, that coming face to face with death
Shall e'en inspire with joy the dying breath.
All through the arduous day my actions guide,
All through the lonely night watch by my side,
So I shall wake refreshed, with strength to pray,
Work in me, through me, with me, Lord, this day.

Sometimes I Forget

Sometimes I forget why I'm a nurse
And what's really in my heart.
Sometimes I'm just too busy
I don't know where to start.
Then someone holds my hand,
And greets me with a smile.
They ask if I could stay with them
For just a little while.
If I can calm a sorrowed heart
Just because I'm there.
Then I'm reminded why I'm a Nurse
It's all because I care.
