SQUARE DANCERS' PRAYER

by C. Lowe: Dallas, TX

     Oh greatest Caller, Who knowest all moves from Basics through Challenge and beyond,
      we are thank-ful for the opportunity to weave a ring of friends;
     to circle left and right to rhythms reflecting the order of thy universe, for ears to hear music
     and laughter; for eyes to see Thy rainbow of colors shining here; for love in its myriad forms
     Extend to us Thy blessings- - -
     May all our turns be courteous as we pass through
     Thy way; may we walk in equality and dodge iniquity, may we bend the line to
     Your will; may we see Thy star through our troubles and cast off three-quarters of these on Thee.
     Keep us square through life as we wheel and deal with our neighbor;
      Bless those who lead right as we cross through this world; and when to promenade home,
     may it be with Thee

(NORTHWEST SQUARE DANCER)
