THE JOY OF ANSWERED PRAYER

From the August 1938 issue of The Christian Science Journal


If we would know the joy of answered prayer,
If we would enter in, the heavenly kingdom share,
We must hold thought to God, His precepts live,
And offer others all there is to give.
We must be pure in heart, be selfless, have no fear
If we would know,
If we would know the joy of answered prayer.

And now we know the joy of answered prayer,
We do not ask the why, the when, the where;
We follow His commands, and day by day
We learn Christ Jesus led the royal way.
God's love is for mankind, His promises are kept
As we accept,
As we accept the joy of answered prayer.
