IN SECRET

IN SECRET (Matthew 6:6; Alma 33:7)

How merciful (when we approach
In confidential prayer)
Our Father is – He blesses us
In Providential care.

When we are in the wilderness,
He turns our enemies.
In field, or house, or secret hour,
He hears our earnest pleas.

He raises up a healing type,
That we may live and see
(If we but cast our eyes in faith)
An everlasting Tree.

The springs of perfect love He grants
Will make our burdens light.
All this is ours if we will kneel
Before the Source of Life.
