A Prayer for Alaska 

by Miss Harriet Brown   *   *   *  

born in 1916  

October 5, 2003 

in Valdez, Alaska

Called to the people of Nome, Alaska

Alaska, the land of the midnight Sun

Of swift flowing mountain streams 

   Rivers that run

Through the wide spreading interior

     down to the Sea,

Where the tossing waves play, and the

     wind blows so free.

Oh God with salvation come visit this land

And deliver her people from sin's deadly bands.

Alaska, a land of mountains and hills

Of forests and woodlands, of vastness that thrills,

Whose dark shadows hide moose, coyote and bear,

Wolves, porcupine, foxes and the swift-footed hare.

Oh God who made wild life to roam through this land *

Come, deliver her people from sin's mighty bands.

Alaska, a land of glaciers so old

Whose green crystal depths ancient stories unfold

As they catch the reflection of the gay northern lights

That sweep like a curtain across the stage of the night

Oh God with nature's grandeur

thou dist bless this great land.

Come, deliver her people from sin's fearful bands.

Harriet is a missionary with our church; however, I first remember meeting her at a Women's Aglow Retreat some years ago when it was held at the Assembly of God Little Beaver Camp near Houston, ALASKA
