Alone

By E. M. Exton

“Alone with God!” the keynote this Of every holy life, The secret power of fragrant growth, And victory over strife.
“Alone with God!” in private prayer And quietness we feel That he draws near our waiting souls, And doth himself reveal.
“Alone with God!” earth’s laurels fade, Ambition tempts not there; The world and self are judged aright, And no false colors wear.
“Alone with God!” true knowledge gained, While sitting at his feet; We learn life’s greatest lessons there, Which make for service meet. — E. M. Exton.
