*Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving\.\.\. \-Colossians 4:2*

The judge with whom the widow pled  
 Would have ignored,  
 But she implored  
 Him to avenge her\. So he said  
 That he would heed  
 And fill her need\.  
 He didn’t have a fear for God,  
 But intellect  
 Without respect  
 For men\. He loathed her frequent prod  
 And anxious cries;  
 Her tear\-filled eyes\.

We Christians ought to cry in prayer  
 Aloud to God  
 With feet unshod  
 On holy ground that lays off care:  
 “Thy will be done”—  
 Our own we shun;  
 Unceasingly we ought to pray  
 With thanks or pleas  
 On bended knees;  
 Throughout our labours every day;  
 At home, abroad—  
 We talk with God\.

A human judges fellow\-men—  
 Our God, His saints,  
 Although He waits  
 Upon His timing—how and when\.  
 God’s people must  
 Submit and trust:  
 He sees the view we find obscure  
 And knoweth best,  
 So let us rest\.  
 God’s ways are high; His methods sure…  
 With one accord,  
 Speak to our Lord\.
