In Solitude with God by Anastasia I. Burr

To the solitude of prayer

God invites His child alone;

He delights when you, with meekness

And by faith, approach His throne. 

 

In the solitude of prayer,

That communion of love;

God reveals His glorious secrets

Planned for you in heaven above.

 

To the solitude of prayer

You must go yourself to hide;

Then in peace and joy and gladness

Will your heart for sure abide.

 

In the solitude of prayer

Pray the Scriptures to the Lord;

So you'll always be victorious

Through His own two-edged sword.

 

Through the Scriptures in your praying

And His Spirit in your heart,

He will always show His pathways

And His mighty strength impart.

 

'Tis in quietness and prayer

You will hear His gentle voice;

Thus when flesh and Satan whisper

You shall make the godly choice.

 

In the solitude of prayer

On your soul He sheds His light;

Then you walk with deep assurance

In the day and in the night.

 

Go in solitude for prayer,

Daily meet the Lord most high;

When you frequent this His dwelling

You shall know He's always nigh.
