Prosperity  C. M.  8 Lines

The hour of prayer once  more is come
Once more, O Lord, We meet
Thanks to Thy name; there yet is room
To bow beneath Thy feet.

Our God, our Hope, our heavenly Friend,
Our Father, and our All
Our first great cause and last great end.
On Thee for help we call.

The helpless, poor, and needy soul,
The tempted, and distressed,
Dear Lord, relieve, support, make whole,
And calm the troubled breast.

The faith and hope, the joy and love,
of all Thy saints increase;
Hardness and prejudice remove,
And fill our hearts with peace.

The sick, the weak, and those confined,
Upon our hearts we bear;
May they be to Thy will resigned,
And Thy compassions share.

Father, assist their souls, who may
Upon Thee further call;
Banish the fear of man away,
And smile upon us all.

Scriptural Verse and Comment

Notable Quotes:  "I well remember when the Missionary plan was first put into operation among the Baptist of the west, the advocates of it would argue that the church of Rome subdued nations by this plan and converted multitudes to her views in this way, and if error was so successfully propagated by this plan, truth could be spread with equal success. This is, then a scheme of Rome, which to say the least of it, the Baptists have seized upon in order to extend the truth. by the same means which antichrist had employed for the spread of error" Elder Wilson Thompson (Taken from an article in The Old Path Contender Spring  2007 Editor Elder Kenneth Clevenger)
