God and Prayer.

THERE is an eye that never sleeps Beneath the wing of night; There is an ear that never shuts When sinks the beam of light.

There is an arm that never tires; When human strength gives way; There is a love which never fails When earthly loves decay.

That eye is fixed on seraph throngs; That ear is fixed on angels' songs; That arm upholds the world on high: That love is thrown beyond the sky.

But there's a power which man can wield, When mortal aid is vain, That eye, that arm, that love to reach, That listening ear to gain; That power is prayer, which soars on high, And feeds on bliss beyond the sky.
