SEND A PRAYER TO HEAVEN.

Send a fervent prayer to heaven, When thy soul is wrought with grief; Gilead's balm shall be thy healing, Sanctified to thy relief.

Send a truthful prayer to heaven, When the tempter bids thee not; Thy pleading voice is not unheeded, Nor thy prayer of faith forgot.

Send a holy prayer to heaven, When beset with death's sad gloom; It shall 'suage thy tears and sorrows,

Whispering peace beyond the tomb.

Send a righteous prayer to heaven, When sore trials vex thy soul; Faint not; 'tis but God's refining. Look up! See the blessed goal.

Send a grateful prayer to heaven, For thy mission here on earth; For thy parentage celestial, And thy blessed time of birth.

Send a prayer with holy fervor For the Priesthood's keys and powers, Holy seals of resurrection Zion's temples, walls and towers. C. L. Walker.
