A TIMELY PRAYER.

“I will run the way of thy commandments.” Ps. 119:32.
WHEN from thy path I wander, Lord, Oh, hedge my way around, And plant thine angel with his sword Where snares and sin abound!
When to thy throne my prayers ascend, Sift well what I entreat, And from the chaff, oh condescend To separate the wheat!
When 'twixt two paths I halt, decide Thyself for me the way; Compel me closer to thy side, Nor suffer me to stray.
If 'gainst thy strength, Almighty One, My weakness I would fling, Give me to view thy glorious throne, And bow before my King. —Selected.
