Watching for the Answer

By Jennie Owen Mc Clelland

JENNIE OWEN MC CLELLAND
I AM. watching for the answer To the prayer I breathed to-day; For has not my loving Father Bid his child to watch and pray?
It were idle to be asking Without hoping to receive, And the prayer, based on his promise, Gives me courage to believe
That the answer will be given, And perhaps is on its way; So I’m watching for the answer, While continuing to pray.
Like Elijah on Mt. Carmel O’er and o’er I scan the sky, While with earnest expectation To the gracious Lord I cry.
Ready, too, to spring to action To perform my humble part; Praise and thanks the meantime waiting To spring up within my heart.
North Dakota.
