PRAYER
No. 333. Negro, Raleigh, N.C-, 1936."
This evening, our Father,
We begin before death in early judgment----
This evening, our Father,
I come, in the humblest manner I ever kno*uoed
Or ever thought it,
To bo*w.
Pm thanking Thee, O Lord,
O Lord, thanking Thee this evening, my Father,
That my laying dovon last night voasrft my cooling board,
O Lord, thanking Thee this evening, my Father,
That my cover voas noU my imnding sheet;
O Lord, thanking Thee this evening, my Father,
That my dressing room this morning tsxis not my grave;
O Lord, thanking Thee this evening, my Father,
That my slumber last night ivas not for eternity.
0 Lord,
Just bless the ividoivs and orphans in this land,
1 pray Thee in Jesus* name, Take care of them, my Father, And guide them;
And then, my Father,
When they all is standing in Glory
And Thou art satisfied at my staying here,
Oh; meet me at the river, I ask in Thy name.
Amen* |
