Prayer Is The Soul’s Sincere Desire,
Unuttered Or Expressed;
The Motion Of A Hidden Fire
That Trembles In The Breast.
Prayer Is The Burden Of A Sigh,
The Falling Of A Tear;
The Upward Glancing Of An Eye
When None But God Is Near.
Prayer Is The Simplest Form Of Speech
That Infant Lips Can Try;
Prayer, The Sublimest Strains That Reach
The Majesty On High.
Prayer Is The Contrite Sinner’s Voice,
Returning From His Ways,
While Angels In Their Songs Rejoice,
And Say—“Behold He Prays.”
Prayer Is The Christian’s Vital Breath,
The Christian’s Native Air,
His Watchword At The Gate Of Death;
He Enters Heaven With Prayer.
