A PRAYER.
My God, w th Pent-omta ! shower, Pour down Thy blessing from on high ; Oh! let it come in might of po wtr, To bring the scattered wanderers nigh. Oh ! let Thy spirit strive with might Wirb those who live ’ncath Sin’s dark pall, Till shines abroad the gloii''ns light And loosed is Satan’s baneful thrall. Give peace to sonla now tempest-tossed, Give light to whom in darkness dwell ; Gire joy lo those by anguish crossed, Lead up to heaven from gates of bell. In faith wc ask. Thou didst invito Such prayers, and we Tliy promise plead: « Ask ye what in Mine eyes is right, And I will give the prayer h cd.” Ob ! loving Father, well we know Thou lovett souls of tinners slid ; Abn ■ad thee bid Thy spirit go, And mould these einnois to Tby will. Then angels shall in heaven r j ice, Arid wo ou earth shall laud and praise; Till heaven and earth, us with one voice, To Thee shall.glorious anthems raise. Marion Campbell Riddle.
