THE MONTHLY PRAYER-MEETING FOR MISSIONS.
Come to the house of prayer. It is the nightWhen, by a compact sweeter than command,
Their mutual prayers, throughout this happy land,
The scattered family of Christ unite.
Nor here alone observed the simple rite,
In western climes prolonged, by many a band
In busy town, lone wild, or coral strand;—
Where'er the Gospel shines, a beacon light.
Taught by one Spirit, all their prayers agree.
This night, the self-exiled for Christ can dare
Dwell on dear friends he ne'er again may see:
The thought is balm, that on their hearts they bear
His name while blending thus in harmony
The vows of faith. Come to the house of prayer.
