The Noon-Hour Prayer

“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.”
THE words of the following poem bring to God’s children encouragement to continue constant in prayer:—
“Thou hast prayed for me, I know it. I have felt the cooling stream From before the throne of mercy Where the living waters gleam; I have heard the voice of angels, Whispering softly in the night: ‘God will keep thee, weary pilgrim; He will guide thy steps aright.’”
“Surely prayer and supplication Have ascended to the throne; There my every want and weakness, By a faithful servant shown, Has been laid before the Master, And his gentle mercy sought; Peace and mercy have descended By his rich atonement bought.
“O, my friend, continue praying, Bind me to the throne of grace! There my weak and weary spirit Finds a welcome resting-place; Pray that he may send his angels Round about the way to camp; Let the beacon of his mercy Be my only guiding lamp.
“Much a righteous man availeth When below the mercy-seat He has bowed in humble reverence For some other to entreat; So if blessings wait upon me, Comforts heal my every care, I shall know thy soul is waiting In a sacred hour of prayer.”
