The day was long, the burden I had borne seemed heavier than I could longer bear
And then it lifted-but I did not know some one had knelt in prayer;
Had taken me to God that very hour, and asked the easing of the load, and He,
In infinite compassion, had stooped down and taken it from me.
We cannot tell how often as we pray for some bewildered one, hurt and distressed,
The answer comes, but many times those hearts find sudden peace and rest.
Some one had prayed, and Faith, a reaching hand,
Took hold of God, and brought Him down that day!
So many, many hearts have need of prayer. Oh, let us pray!
