PRAY
Lord, I would unconscious pray,
Keeping near thee day by day;
Noise and tumult, sin and strife,
Vexing things of common life,
Through them all, O Saviour mine,
I would trust the strength divine.

Lord, I would unswerving pray,
While glad sunshine gilds my way,
Or, when fiercest is the fight,
And my day is changed to night;
Victory still, O Saviour mine,
I would win by strength divine.

Thou who knowst the inmost heart
Best of blessings wilt impart;
Lord, unfailing as thy care,
Never ceasing be my prayer,
'Mid those joys beyond all ken
Echoed be the last "Amen."
