The late great Irish Anglican archbishop of Dublin and poet, Richard Chenevix Trench (1807 - 1886), wrote:
"Lord, what a change within us one short hour
Spent in Thy presence will avail to make!
What heavy burdens from our bosoms take!
What parched grounds refresh as with a shower!
We kneel, and all around us seem to lower;
We rise, and all, the distant and the near,
Stands forth in sunny outline, brave and clear;
We kneel, how weak; we rise, how full of power!
Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,
Or others - that we are not always strong -
That we are sometimes overborne with care -
That we should ever weak or heartless be,
Anxious or troubled - when with us is prayer,
And joy, and strength, and courage are with Thee?"
