A PRAYER.

By J. Montgomery

Oh! if Thou art, thou knowest that I am; Behold me, hear me, pity me, despise not The prayer, which—if thou art, thou hast inspired; Or wherefore seek I now a God unknown, And feel for thee, if haply I may find In whom I live and move and have my being? Reveal thyself to me; reveal thy power, Thy light, thy name—that I may fear, adore, Obey—and, oh, that I might love thee, too! For, if thou art—it must be—thou art good; And I would be the creature of thy goodness; O hear and answer—let me know thou hearest; Show that as surely as thou art, so surely My prayer and supplication are accepted. —J. Montgomery.
