The proceedings opened with a hymn--a very short hymn of three verses, which Diana had never before heard. Yet those words, in their inspired simplicity, were to mean more to her than anything had ever as yet meant in her whole life. Before the audience rose to sing, she had time to read the three verses through. "Jesus, stand among us, In Thy risen power; Let this time of worship Be a hallowed hour. "Breathe Thy Holy Spirit Into every heart; Bid the fears and sorrows, From each soul depart. "Thus, with quickened footsteps, We'll pursue our way; Watching for the dawning Of the eternal day." Who can gauge the power of an inspired hymn of prayer? As the simple melody rose and fell, sung by hundreds of believing, expectant hearts, Diana became conscious of an unseen Presence in the midst, overshadowing the personality of the minister, just as in the noble monument to Phillips Brooks, outside his church in the beautiful city of Boston, the mighty tender figure of his Master, standing behind him, overshadows the sculptured form of the great preacher. The Presence of the risen Christ was there; the Power of the risen Christ, then and there, laid hold upon Diana. "Jesus, stand among us, In Thy risen power--" pleaded a great assemblage of believing hearts; and, in very deed, He stood among them; and He drew near in tenderness to the one lonely soul who, more than all others, needed Him. None other human words reached Diana during that "hour of worship." He, Who stood in the midst, dealt with her Himself, in the secret of her own spirit-chamber. She saw the happenings of the past in a new light. First of all, Self had reigned supreme. Then--when the great earthly love had ousted Self--she had placed David upon the throne. Now the true and only King of Love drew near in risen power; and she realised that He was come, in deepest tenderness, to claim the place which should all along have been His own. "Bid the fears and sorrows From each soul depart." "Fear not; I am the First and the Last, and the Living One." Her whole life just now had seemed to be made up of fears and sorrows; but they all vanished in the light of this new revelation: "Christ is all, and in all." Her broken heart arose, and crowned Him King. Her love for David, her anguish over David, were not lessened; but her heart's chief love was given to Him unto Whom it rightfully belonged; and her soul found, at last, its deepest rest and peace. "Thus, with quickened footsteps, We'll pursue our way; Watching for the dawning Of the eternal day."
