Text: | Prayer is the soul's sincere desire |
Author: | Montgomery |
1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Unuttered or expressed;
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.
3 Pray is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The majesty on high.
4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath,
The Christian's native air,
His watchword at the gates of death,
He enters heaven with prayer.
