The Meaning of Prayer by Frances McKinnon Morton

A breath of prayer in the morning

Means a day of blessing sure;

A breath of prayer in the evening

Means a night of rest secure;

A breath of prayer in our weakness

Means the clasp of a mighty hand;

A breath of prayer when we're lonely

Means someone to understand;

A breath of prayer in our sorrows

Means comfort and peace and rest;

A breath of prayer in our doubtings

Assures us the Lord knows best;

A breath of prayer in rejoicing

Gives joy and added delight,

For they that remember god's goodness

Go singing far into the night.

There's never a year nor a season

That prayer may not bless every hour,

And never a soul need be helpless

When linked with God's infinite power.
