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.
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!"
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!"
