I knelt beside a little bed	A
The curtains drew away	B
And 'mid the soft white folds beheld	A
Two rosy sleepers lay	B
The one had seen three summers smile	C
And lisped her evening prayer	D
The other only one year's shade	A
Was on her flaxen hair	D
	-
No sense of duties ill performed	A
Weighed on each heaving breast	A
No weariness of work day care	D
Disturbed their tranquil rest	A
The stars to them as yet were in	E
The reach of baby hand	A
Temptation trial grief were words	F
They could not understand	A
	-
But in the coming years I saw	G
The turbulence of life	H
O'erwhelm this calm of innocence	I
With melancholy strife	H
From all the foes that lurk without	A
From feebleness within	E
What Sovereign guard from Heaven I asked	A
Will strong beseeching win	E
	-
Then to my soul a vision came	J
Illuming cheering all	K
Of him who stood with shining front	A
On Dothan's ancient wall	K
And while his servant's heart grew faint	A
As he beheld with fear	L
The Syrian bands encompassing	M
The city far and near	L
	-
With lofty confidence to his	N
Sad questioning replied	A
Those armies are outnumbered far	O
By legions at our side	A
Then up from starry sphere to sphere	L
Was borne the Prophet's prayer	D
Unfold to his blind sight O God	A
Thy glorious hosts and fair	D
	-
The servant's eyes bewildered gazed	A
On chariots of fire	P
On seraphs clad in mails of light	A
Resistless in their ire	Q
On ranks of angels marshalled close	R
Where roving comets run	S
On silver shields and rainbow wings	T
Outspread before the sun	S
	-
I saw the Syrian hosts at noon	U
Led sightless through the land	A
And longed to grasp the Prophet's robe	V
Within my feeble hand	A
While my whole soul went out in deep	W
And passionate appeal	X
That faith like his might set within	E
My babes' pure hearts its seal	X
