PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.

Go when the morning shineth, Go when the noon is bright, Go when the eve declineth, Go in the hush of night, Go with pure mind and feeling, Fling earthly thoughts away, And in thy closet, kneeling, Do thou in secret pray.

Remember all who love thee, All who are loved by thee, Pray, too, for those that hate thee, If any such there be; Then, for thyself, in meekness, A blessing humbly claim, And blend with each petition The great Redeemer’s name.

Oh! not a joy or blessing With this can we compare, The grace our Father gives us To pour our souls in prayer. When in dark clouds of sadness Before his footstool fall; And then recall in gladness The love he gives for all.
