"Pray without ceasing"

EDMUND R. CUMMINS

Unceasing prayer! Dear God, how may one pray
Each moment of the busy working day?
Yet when Truth speaketh each one must obey
If he to Thee would find the living way.

Ah, yes! To think aright concerning Thee
As Spirit, and in one's own true self to see
Thy spiritual image constantly—
This, this must be to pray unceasingly!

For such a constant prayer must efface
The mortal, erring concept, and replace
Its falsities with saving truth and grace;
And thus we see the Father face to face.
