"YE HAVE NOT BECAUSE YE ASK NOT."

Why is it our faith is so weak? Why should we by doubt be controlled? While manifold blessings we seek, We seem to be heartless and cold.

Do we think that our faith is our own, To summon at will as we choose? Do we think we can stand up alone, With none to assail or accuse?

Faith comes as a gift from above, In answer to true fervent prayer; A heavenly message of love, To strengthen us while we are here.

Then let us but ask and receive The faith that can mountains remove, While we urge all mankind to believe In Christ the true fountain of love. —Sel.
