Carole Glenn: Music

"I Knelt To Pray"
1. The lonely heart, the dark’ning night,
The troubled sea of sorrow’s plight,
The restlessness, the willful way,
These vanished when I knelt to pray.
And in their place there came sweet peace,
The inner calm of full release
From bonds of error, freedom’s way
Was opened when I knelt to pray.
Then in the hush my soul was stilled
As listening my being thrilled,
A voice of comfort seemed to say,
“I answer when you kneel to pray.”
2. Divine assurance freely giv’n
Revealing beauteous realms of heav’n
Within the soul inherent lay,
Responsive as I knelt to pray.
Oh light so wondrous, radiant love,
Forgiving pow’r, oh winged dove,
Continue thy transforming ray
That meets the soul who kneels to pray.
