PRAYER S.Hinds Oft had I prayed, believing prayed, Yet nothingcouldobtain; And inmy folly,oft I said, Lord, is thy promisevain? I prayed inyouth, that I might win The raceof youthful pride; Though hope burned like a firewithin My heart, it was denied. 1prayed for power, 1prayed for wealth; Norwealth nor powerwas mine - In lingering pain I prayed for health, And felt my strengthdecline. At the last, Wisdom spoke - "My Son, Christ's kingdomis of Heaven; Ask heavenly things - they shall be done"- I asked, and it was given. 162
