The Hour of Prayer.

Table of Contents

“Lord, what a change within us one short hour

Spent in Thy presence will prevail to make!

What heavy burdens from our bosoms take;

What parched grounds refresh as with a shower.

“We kneel—and all around us seems to lower;

We rise—and all, the distant and the near,

Stands forth in sunny outline brave and clear;

We kneel: how weak!—we rise: how full of power!

“Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,

Or others—that we are not always strong?

That we are ever overborne with care;

That we should ever weak or heartless be,

Anxious or troubled, while with us is prayer,

And joy, and strength, and courage, are with Thee?”

Trench.
