| Text reference: Based on Mother's Evening Prayer By Mary Baker Eddy |
| Lyrics: O gentle presence, peace and joy and power; O Life divine, that owns each waiting hour, Thou Love that guards the nestling's faltering flight. Keep thou my child on upward wing tonight. Love is our refuge; only with mine eye can I behold the snare, the pit, the fall: His habitation high is here and nigh, His arm encircles me and mine and all. O make me glad for every scalding tear, For hope deferred in gratitude, disdain. Wait and love more for every hate and fear no ill-since God is good and loss is gain. Beneath the shadow of His mighty wing; In that sweet secret of the narrow way, seeking and finding, with the angels sing; Lo I am with you alway watch and pray. No snare, no fowler, pestilence or pain; No night drops down upon the troubled breast, When heavens after smile earth's teardrops gain, and mother finds her home and heavenly rest. |
