Religion
Matthew 6:6: Pray to thy Father which is in secret
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Father, for power I groan
In secret prayer to spend
My few sad hours with Thee alone
Shut up, till life shall end:
I think of no reward.
But wail my follies pass'd.
And humbly hope, through Christ my Lord,
I may escape at last.
