God Answers Prayer

MILDRED KENDALL

Earth's night, how dark!
And earth a stranger to the day
God made.

I pray for light.

Day comes
With gentle beam and silent tread
And night is gone.
Upon my head the blessing
Of His grace,
Upon my heart the song
His love has made.

And round my place
The angels sing.

I listen.

The sleep of sin is gone,
His presence near; for, lo,
The Christ!
The Christ is here.

Now falls, like gentle dew,
The benediction of a risen day;
This is the blessing for eternity:
God answers prayer,
God answers prayer.

We'd love to hear from you!
