THE CANDLE OF FAITH (HELEN STEINER RICE)

                         IN THIS SICK WORLD OF HATRED
                         AND VIOLENCE AND SIN
                         WHERE MEN RENOUNCE MORALS
                         AND REJECT DISCIPLINE,
                         WE STUMBLE IN DARKNESS
                         GROPING VAINLY FOR LIGHT
                         TO DISTINGUISH THE DIFFERENCE
                         BETWEEN WRONG AND RIGHT,
                         BUT DAWN CANNOT FOLLOW
                         THIS NIGHT OF DESPAIR
                         UNLESS FAITH LIGHTS A CANDLE
                         IN ALL HEARTS EVERYWHERE
                         AND WARMED BY THE GLOW
                         OUR HATE MELTS AWAY
                         AND LOVE LIGHTS THE PATH
                         TO A PEACEFUL, NEW DAY.
