TEACH ME, O GOD

ROBERT E. RICHARDSON.

Teach me, O God, not with my lips to pray—The voice of prayer so many a time is drownedIn murky waves of oft-repeated soundThat choke the Spirit's call.

REST

TO THEE

Again the faces of the careless throngAt Ephesus I see;Again I feel the clutching sense of wrong,Again Love comforts me.
