And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,
Then, Lord, remember me!
2. The Soul's Sincere Desire
Illustration
James Montgomery
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpressed-
The motion of a hidden fire,
That trembles in the breast.
Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near.
Fairest and best adorned is she Whose clothing is humility.
