Excerpt from The Pastor in His Closet: Or, a Help to the Devotions of the Clergy O lord God, I am alone with Thee in my chamber; I have shut the doors of my chamber and entered into my closet, that I might pray unto Thee in secret, for Thou hearest and lovest the secret prayer. N 0 man seeth or heareth me; no man knoweth that I have come to pray; this is my solitary place; it will not be known that I have now sought. Thee in prayer till the last day, when all hidden things shall be brought to light.

When I pray in Thy house of prayer, when I pray with my household, I am seen to pray; but here I pour out my soul, I lift up my soul, I seek Thy face, I bow myself to the ground before Thee, I hold communion with Thee, God Most High, through Thy Son's name, and Thou Lord only knowest it.
