I make mention of you, etc.
Rom. 1:9.
When far from the hearts where our fondest thoughts center,
Denied for a time their loved presence to share;
In spirit we meet, when the closet we enter,
And hold sweet communion together in prayer!
2 O! fondly I think, as night’s curtains surround them,
The Shepherd of Israel tenderly keeps,
The angels of light are encamping around them,
They are watched by the eye that ne’er slumbers nor sleeps,
3 When the voice of the morning once more shall awake them,
