Pray to your Father who is [in a] secret place. Your Father, who sees what you do in secret, will reward you.

Often while in meditation
On His love so free,
Comes message from my Father
Spoken just to me.
Refrain
In life’s quiet hours I find Him
Waiting for my call,
It is there He meets me, greets me,
Holds me lest I fall.
Or it may be I have struggled
Thro’ some trial sore;
When my struggling turns to trusting,
Lo, the trial is o’er.
Refrain
Or perchance while I am waiting
Still on bended knee,
Comes a quiet revelation
Of His love for me.
Refrain
At my work or in my closet—
Almost anywhere,
If in quietness I listen
I find Jesus there.
