THE SUNDAY SCHOLAR'S PRAYER.
To prayer! to prayer! when the heart is light,
And hope and promise are young and bright;
In the freshness of youth, oh! gather there,
And join in the Sunday Scholar's prayer.
From the gushing heart of the simple child,
With the soul so free, and the eye so mild,
Upturned to heaven,—so young and fair,
Oh! join in the Sunday Scholar's prayer.
The simple word, and the burning thought,
The inspiration from angels caught,
From the guileless soul, unknown to care,
How sweet is the Sunday Scholar's prayer.
'Tis the first gift of love,—the incense of youth;
'Tis offered in faith, & 'tis hallowed by truth;—
Angels are waiting, the accents to bear
To heaven the Sunday Scholar's prayer.
