Poems (Coolidge)/Prayer—Praise
PRAYER—PRAISE
A trustful prayer will lighten care For every tired heart; And though the burden still may press, New strength will faith impart; Through busy hours is echoed still The soft "Amen" we say; God's love is near, dispelling fear, Alway, alway.
A song of praise will brighten days That else were sad and drear; The minor chord its joy can still, And other souls 'twill cheer; For weary pilgrims, sore oppressed, Its glad refrain may sing, "Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Our King, our King!"
