Prayer of Joy

Joy is the messenger, dear lord, that bears our prayers to Thee.

Prayer can be like incense, rising ever higher and higher, or it can be

like a low earth-mist clinging to the ground, never once soaring.

The Eye that sees all, the Ear that hears all, knows every cry.

But the prayer of real faith is the prayer of Joy, that sees and knows

the heart of Love it rises to greet and that is so sure of a glad response.
