sweet prayer


Sweet silent prayer, comfort divine,
There, O my Lord, I know You are mine;
Oh, Redeemer, there in secret with You,
Heaven comes nearer and nearer to me.

Graces showers and follow me there;
Heaven comes nearer and nearer in prayer.

Lonely secret prayer, heavenly joy,
There do Your arms, Lord, round me entwine;
Streams of love and life there flow,
Cure for all sorrow that mortal can know.

Sweet secret prayer, comfort divine
There do I feel I truly am Yours;
Heaven's doors open, Jesus is near,
Near to my soul, and the Father will hear.
