By John Keble (1792–1866)The Power of Prayer
| THINK ye the spires that glow so bright, | |
| In front of yonder setting sun, | |
| Stand by their own unshaken might? | |
| No—where th’ upholding grace is won | |
| We dare not ask, nor Heaven would tell; | 5 |
| But sure from many a hidden dell, | |
| From many a rural nook unthought of there, | |
| Rises for that proud world the saints’ prevailing prayer. | |
