A CALL TO PRAYER by PERCY STICKNEY GRANT

First Line: FROM THE MINARET THE MOSLEM
Last Line: "GOD IS LOVE AND GOD IS GOOD."
Subject(s): BABIES; PRAYER; INFANTS;

From the minaret the Moslem
Bids men pray. "Let all work wait."
North, south, east and west he calls them,
"God is one and God is great."

Far below a woman blesses
God in new-found motherhood,
Singing to the babe she presses,
"God is love and God is good."
