Noon-Hour Prayer

By Mrs. M. M. Barton

“Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.” “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends.”
O, I LOVE to talk with Jesus! How it soothes my troubled heart, Just to tell him all my trials, And his loving care impart!
Yes, he drives away my anguish, Or gives grace, and helps me bear All the burdens of this earth-life, That my heart would break and tear.
O, such loving consolation He doth give me when I pray! As I tell him all my heartaches, How he drives them all away!
And he whispers to me gently, While he soothes my troubled fears; And he tells me, “Child, I’m with thee, Will be with thee all thy years.”
And then when I leave my closet And to round of duties go, I’m buoyed up above the trial, For I’ve told him, and he knowsHow to take away the heartache, And so fill me with his love That my heart is tuned to praises, And my thoughts are turned above.
—Mrs. M. M. Barton.
