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.
