In the desert by the bush, / Moses to his heart said _Hush_.

David on his bed did pray; / God all night went not away.

From his heap of ashes foul / Job to God did lift his soul,

God came down to see him there, / And to answer all his prayer.

On a dark hill, in the wind, / Jesus did his father find,

But while he on earth did fare, / Every spot was place of prayer;

And where man is any day, / God can not be far away.

But the place he loveth best, / Place where he himself can rest,

Where alone he prayer doth seek, / Is the spirit of the meek.

To the humble God doth come; / In his heart he makes his home.
