Forgive me, Lord, that I allow my days and hours to be

So filled with trifling tasks, that oft I find no time for Thee.

My thoughts so oft are occupied with countless earthly things,

When Thou wouldst have them mount on high by faith with eagle wings.

So many duties round me press, that rob me of the time

I fain would spend with Thee, my Lord, in fellowship divine.

Too busy--O forbid, dear Lord, that I should ever be

Too much engrossed in worldly tasks to spend one hour with Thee!

That I should let the din of life drown out Thy voice of love,

And, grovelling in the "sands of time," lose out on things above.

O help me, Lord, to take the time-- to set all else aside,

That in the secret place of prayer I may with Thee abide;

To hear what Thou wouldst say to me, and hold communion sweet;

To praise Thy precious worthy Name and worship at Thy feet:

To hearken to Thy holy will, to feel Thy cleansing pow'r--

O may I ne'er let aught deprive my soul of this blest hour! - Avis B. Christiansen

Looking for His glorious appearing! Titus 2:13
