Rose Philippine Duchesne
The Woman Who Prays . .
Strong was her heart that heard God’s voice
When far it called across the sea,
and swiftly came the answer of her love
that gave its all triumphantly;
For you were ready, Philippine,
to let God’s summons set you free.
Hard was the road beneath her feet
and long it stretched through shadowed years,
but stronger was the love that led her on
and brave was the faith that conquered fears;
for God was with you, Philippine,
and drew His harvest from your tears.
Strong Was her Heart
