When Brother Peetree Prayed

Author: Edward Dyson


When Brother Peetree prayed, the air
Was filled with solemn awe;
The words he spoke were strong and fair,
And no one found a flaw.

He bowed his head, he closed his eyes,
He raised his voice so clear;
The saints all gathered round in sighs,
For they knew the Lord was near.

He prayed for peace, he prayed for love,
He prayed for strength and grace;
And as he prayed, the heavens above
Seemed to smile upon his face.

When Brother Peetree prayed, the night
Was lit with holy fire;
And all who heard felt pure delight,
As their souls were lifted higher.
