“If we with earnest effort could succeed To make our life one long, connected prayer, As lives of some, perhaps, have been and are; If, never leaving Thee, we have no need Our wandering spirits back again to lead Into Thy presence, but continued there Like angels standing on the highest stair Of the Sapphire Throne: this were to pray indeed!” IfsNeedsLongHas BeensSpiritPrayerEffortOur LivesPrayingSucceedHighestAngelStandingLeavingConnectedWanderTheeThronesEarnestStairsBack AgainSapphires Book:Sabbation: Honor Neale : and Other Poems Source: Sabbation: Honor Neale : and Other Poems
“We kneel, how weak; we rise, how full of power! Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong, Or others — that we are not always strong, That we are ever overborne with care, That we should ever weak or heartless be, Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer, And joy and strength and courage are with Thee?” ShouldCareJoyStrongPrayerWeakTheeAnxiousHeartlessPrayers Not Being Answered Book:The Story of Justin Martyr : Sabbation and Other Poems Source: The Story of Justin Martyr : Sabbation and Other Poems
