Voiceless Prayers

By E. H. MORTON

E. H. MORTON
You ask my thoughts as gazing far I look beyond. My thoughts are mingled with God's thoughts, O sacred bond! ’Tis prayer that brings the distant near, The touch divine. God's Spirit is the link that binds His thoughts to mine.
I thank thee, Lord, for answered prayer, For ripened sheaves, And still I ask for more and more. My spirit grieves O’er those bowed down by worldly cares Yet know the way, And silently I breathe the prayer, Help them obey.
And so I plead with heart and soul, In house and street. I smile, with prayer within my heart, When friends I meet; I clasp the hand, and upward send A voiceless cry. The answer comes, and well I know Angels are nigh.
’Tis sweet to keep the chain complete, The channel free, To know that God is looking down To strengthen me. The life within no eye can see, But O ’tis peace And depths of joy when sinners find From sin release!
North Deering, Maine.
