God, who beholds His servants mood,
Whose loving gifts our wants exceed,
Has hid us bring each want and caro-
Before His throne In humble prayer.
Our Lords example led the way,
He taught His followers how to pray,
And lonely mount and olive shade
Bear witness sweet where Jesus praye1i
Paths messenger ascends u heaven,
Invited oft and welcome given.
What records sweet the Scriptures bear
or answering grace TO fervent prayer,
or seas turned back and hosts dismayed,
blessings poured out and judgments stayed;
Walked tho Wild earthquakes thundertono;
How opened heavens inner place
To light the martyrs dying face;
And Paul, tho prosecutor, shares
The answer pledged to Stephens prayers.
A swift dart hurtles through tho night;:
child's prayer turns 1t from Its flight
nations sky 10 dark with gloom;
Some meek saints voice arrests the doom.
Rise round the bark the eugulfing waves;
A distant mother pleads and saves.
War, pestilence, In dread career,
Turn back upon their rond OF fear,
And all the hosts OF evil nee
The heart that prays and trusts In Thee.
Strong prayerl It cleavos the shadows dim,
With the swift wings OF seraphim.
Two wings OF Faith, that DER the face
Absorbs tho glory OF Gods grace;
Two wings OF Hope, tho feet TO speed,
For active work and loving deed;
Two near the heart, the wings OF love,
on which the soul may soar above,
Win speech OF Him who wear3the crown,
And WAIT the holy fires down.
Take back to heaven those wings of light,
And wrap our world in darkest night;
Seal up the sad hearts bitter tears,
Press deeper down tho weight OF years;
Arch tho blue sky one endless tomb.
And shroud tho fiowery earth with gloom.
o were the loving gift recalled,
How were our hearts bereft, appalled,;
No pleading Christ our woes to share,
No refuge from earths Ills In prayer.
But God recalls no loving gift,
Still breathes His word the soul to lift;
Still may tho trembling wanderer cling
Around the altar OF our King;
Still, tempest-tossod and sore dismayed,
Cry from the deep for God to aid;
Still In tho shelter OF His name
From every foe protection claim;
And, passing through the gate OF prayer,
Behold Saviour waiting there.
