'TIS SWEET TO PRAY.

How sweet when sorrows come, To kneel in humble prayer;— And ask the God of boundless love, For strength our woes to bear.
How blissful is the thought, That not in vain we plead: For God his people ne'er forsakes, When they his pity need.
Unto the drooping heart, Fresh courage he bestows; He whispers, "Place thy trust in me, And I will heal thy woes."
'Tis sweet when joys are ours, In gratitude to kneel, And offer unto God our thanks, For happiness we feel.
'Tis always sweet to pray, In poverty, in wealth, In sickness' painful dreary hours, Or bright and glowing health.
