ANSWERED PRAYER.

By Lilla Warren

BY LILLA WARREN.

O Thou who hearest prayer When in true faith 'tis given, Look down in tender love And fit me now for heaven.

This idol I have loved, Oh, may I give to thee! Lord, I am poor and weak, Oh, grant me now this plea!

Lord, I have not the strength To yield my will to thine, But thine is all the power, And thou canst make it mine.

I know that thou hast said That thou wouldst work in us Thy will and wish to do. Oh, may it now be thus!

Lord, thou hast heard my prayer; I thank thee through thy Son. I know that now in me Thy will on earth is done.

Through faith this strength is given To battle with the wrong; And he who yields his all May in the Lord be strong.

And oh! the wondrous thought! To mortal man is given The power to reach the throne And grasp the strength of heaven.
