Say not the Father hath not heard your prayer;
You shall have your desire sometime, somewhere.
Unanswered yet?—though when you first presented
This one petition at the Father's throne
It seemed you could not wait the time of asking,
So urgent was your heart to make it known!
Though years have passed since then, do not despair;
The Lord will answer you sometime, somewhere.
Unanswered yet? Nay, do not say ungranted;
Perhaps your work is not yet wholly done.
