If we live a life of pray­er,
To those who love a life of pray­er,
O man, how­ev­er fair it seems;
The Ma­gi spread their gifts abroad,
The three­fold grace is said.
We pray for par­don from ab­ove.
Why should I ask the fu­ture load
God on Christm­as day has giv­en.
The fu­ture who shall live to see?
God is Him­self my re­fuge,
See, Fa­ther, Thy be­lov­èd Son,
Far from this world of toil and strife,
In bat­tle ar­ray;
Yet the morn­ing’s pur­ple ray
Each sea­son as it si­lent moves
For His truth and mer­cy stand,
I’ll ob­ey;
When we be­fore the throne of God
To be by pray­er brought nigh,
O God, my heart is fixed; ’tis bent

pre­sent

In our sick­ness or our health,
The sha­dy grove or burn­ing plain,
And hear the call of God and man.
The pre­sent God the heav’ns pro­claim,
To give away this bride
And mark Thy Church’s fall­ing tear;
Strong in the grace to­day be­stowed,
Underneath the Christ­mas tree!
Lent, to be all laid out for Thee:
Fears may at times dis­tress me,
The all suf­fi­cient sac­ri­fice,
The la­bors of their mor­tal life
And He will pro­tect you,
Stone by earth­quake rolled away,
The var­ied months are full of Thee,
Like the years of His right hand,
Come what may.
What an­swer shall we give,
As in His courts on high.
And, with my heart, my voice I’ll raise
