[Father, for power I groan]

Pray to thy Father which is in secret. —vi. 6.

Father, for power I groan
In secret prayer to spend
My few sad hours with Thee alone
Shut up, till life shall end:
I think of no reward,
But wail my follies pass'd,
And humbly hope, through Christ my Lord,
I may escape at last.
