Christian Worship God Seen In His Works. There’s not a star whose twinkling lightIllumes the distant earth,And cheers the solemn gloom of night,But goodness gave it birth.

Christian Worship Secret Prayer. I love to steal awhile awayFrom every cumbering care,And spend the hours of setting dayIn humble, grateful prayer.

Christian Worship Death Of A Christian In His Prime. Go to the grave in all thy glorious prime,In full activity of zeal and power;A Christian cannot die before his time,The Lord’s appointment is the servant’s hour.
