Go when the morning shineth—
Go when the moon is bright—
Go when the eve declineth—
Go in the hush of night:
Go with pure mind and feeling,
Fling earthly thoughts away,
And in thy chamber kneeling,
Do thou in secret pray.
Remember all who love thee,
All who are loved by thee;
Pray too for those who hate thee,
If any such there be.
Then for thyself in meekness,
A blessing humbly claim,
And link with each petition
Thy great Redeemer’s name.
O! not a joy or blessing
With this can we compare,
The power that He has given
To pour our souls in prayer!
Whene’er thou pin’st in sadness,
Before His footstool fall,
Remember in thy, gladness
His grace who gave thee all.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you.” (John 16:23).
“Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” (John 14:24).
