To the solitude of prayer
God invites His child alone;
He delights when you, by trusting,
And through faith, approach His throne.
In the solitude of prayer
That communion of His 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 and mind abide.
In the solitude of prayer
Pray the Scriptures to your Lord;
So you’ll always be victorious
Through His own two-edged sword.
In the solitude of prayer
Speaks His Spirit to your heart;
As He shows to you His pathways,
He does also strength impart.
In the solitude of prayer
You will hear His gentle voice;
Then when flesh and Satan whisper,
You will make the godly choice.
In the solitude of prayer
On your soul He sheds His light;
Then you’ll walk with deep assurance
In the day and in the night.
Go to solitude and prayer
Daily meet the Lord Most High;
When you frequent this His dwelling
You shall know He’s always nigh.
