Full Text
O, not alone on the mount of prayer Must the Christian serve his God; But the burden of daily life must bear, And tread where his Saviour trod. Yet with him through every changing scene Doth the spirit of prayer abide; When earth is lovely, and heaven serene, That spirit his course shall guide. And when the storm rages, and woe and wrath Would an earth-born courage quell, He knows that his God is around his path, And ordereth all things well.
