Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Utter'd or unexprest; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, Prayer is the simplest form of speech Prayer the sublimest strains that reach Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, The saints in prayer appear as one Nor prayer is made on earth alone- And Jesus on the eternal throne O Thou by whom we come to God, MONTGOMERY. There is an eye that never sleeps, There is an ear that never shuts, There is an arm that never tires, That eye is fix'd on seraph throngs; But there's a power that man can wield That eye, that arm, that love to reach, That power is prayer, which soars on high, ANON. The closet which the saint devotes to prayer, Is not his temple only, but his tower, WILCOX. |
