"There is no god but God!--to prayer--lo! God is great!"

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpressed,--
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.

 James Montgomery ( 1771 – 1854 ) was a British editor, hymn writer and poet. He was particularly associated with humanitarian causes such as the campaigns to abolish slavery and to end the exploitation of child chimney sweeps. During his life he composed some 400 hymns, although less than a hundred are current today.
