O God, we stand, therefore, now in your immediate presence, and our very heart speaks to you, and we rejoice that you who search the heart, know what our heart would say; and if these lips should fail to speak out the heart’s utterances, you will interpret what is written in every heart.
If no lip this morning should express the desire of certain of your saints, because their groanings are such that they cannot utter them themselves, and, therefore, cannot expect anyone else to do it, yet you will read every heart; for every heart is open before you as a book, and you read the thoughts and intents of the heart.
