Religion
Closet Prayer.--Matt. vi. 6
From Sacred Poems and Hymns (1854)
Religion
O! What a privilege to kneel,
Fall down and worship at thy feet,
My God! my Father! and to feel
With Thee communion high and sweet:--
To pour my spirit out in prayer,
Or, on the wings of praise ascend,
Like Moses to the Mount, and there
Commune with Thee, as friend with friend.
