Text: | "The sacred fire" |
Tune: | FARRANT |
Composer: | R. Farrant |
1 Prayer is the breath of God in man,
Returning whence it came;
Love is the sacred fire within,
And prayer the rising flame.
2 It gives the burdened spirit case,
And soothes the troubled breast;
Yields comfort to the mourning soul,
And to the weary rest.
3 When God inclines the heart to pray,
He hath an ear to hear;
To him there's music in a sigh,
And beauty in a tear.
4 The humble suppliant cannot fail
To have his wants supplied,
