It is true prayer
To seek the giver more than gift
God's life to share
And love--for this our cry to lift.
It is true faith
To simply trust his loving will,
Whiche'er he saith--
"Thy lot be glad" or "ill."
It is true praise
To bless alike the bright and dark;
To sing, all days
Alike, with nightingale and lark.
--James W. White.
