Prayer

The daylight breaks! Awake to praise The Lord thy God with heart and soul, Nor backward glance,—thy yesterdays Are gone, and forward lies the goal; Again for Christ thy banner raise, As soldier true thy name enroll.
Fierce noonday heat! Discouraged thou? Dost falter ere the race be won? Before the throne still humbly bow, And pray no good to leave undone; Then, strengthened, rise to conquer now, For love of the eternal Son.
At set of sun, ’mid shadows deep, In earnest prayer to him draw near, For he his chosen ones doth keep, His guiding light makes duty clear; So, take his blessed gift of sleep, For peace shall soothe thine every fear.
Unceasing pray, so shalt thou learn The joy all other joys beside; Then will thy heart within thee burn, And life in him be sanctified. If thou shouldst stray, to him return, In his great love once more abide.
