The Nurses 23rd Psalm
By Elsie M. Brownell
The Lord is my Physician, and shall always be on call.
He maketh my morning rounds with me.
He is with me in the night watch.
He readeth my chart; He leadeth me in the path of duty for His name's sake.
Yea, tho I watch at the bedside in the shadow of death I have no fear, for Thou art with me.
Thy love and Thy promises shall steady me.
Thou causeth me to think clearly and to act calmly.
Surely Thou shalt write the prescriptions and issue the orders in the profession I follow, and I will serve in the Hospital of Love with the Great Physician, forever.
