A PRAYER OF FAITH.

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.

UPON my soul is a burden, A burden for one I love; My heart goes out in its fullness For help and strength from above.

I pray to thee, O my Saviour; With tears I bow at thy feet; I claim by faith the blest promise; 'Tis mine, 'tis mine, oh, how sweet!

The one I love will be troubled; I know the work will be done. That will so proud will be broken; The work e'en now is begun.

And He who works will accomplish Far more than I dare to ask; That face will light up with glory, That soul in thy sunshine bask.

I know, I have the assurance; Thy promise stands fast to-day. I'll praise thee now for the answer, I'll praise thee while I pray.

I'll never let go, O Jesus, Till I with my eyes shall see Salvation and joy and gladness To one that is dear to me.
