Nor prayer is made on earth alone,--
The Holy Spirit pleads,
And Jesus, on the Father's throne,
For sinners intercedes.
O thou by whom we come to God,
The Life, the Truth, the Way!
The path of prayer Thyself has trod;
Lord, teach us how to pray!
The two songs: "Sweet Hour of Prayer," "Did You Think to Pray?"
"For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart, yea, the song of
the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a
blessing upon their heads." (Doc. & Cov., Sec. 25:12.)
The following selection:
"Prayer--sweet breath from out a joyous heart wafting gratitude to
Heaven.
"Prayer--a sacred confidence between a fearful soul and God.
"Prayer--a holy balm which soothes and heals the scars in a wounded
breast.
"Prayer--an angel's kiss on the longing lips of loneliness.
"Prayer--a rod that bars the way between the human soul and sin.
"Prayer--a choking sob of anguish from pain-drawn lips in plea for
help."
Under question II. "Why should I pray?"
"And that thou mayest more fully keep thyself unspotted from the
world, thou shalt go to the house of prayer and offer up thy
sacraments upon my holy day." (Doc. & Cov., Sec. 59:9.)
"Pray always that you enter not into temptation, that you may abide
the day of his coming, whether in life or in death.
