Text:Patient prayer has power with God
Author:James Montgomery

74. Patient prayer has power with God

Patient prayer has power with God;
Thus, while Moses raised the rod,
Israel o'er the foe prevail'd,
But grew feeble when he fail'd,
Till, by Hur and Aaron's care,
Intercession held up Prayer.

Pray ye, pray and never faint,
Mourning Sinner, tempted Saint!
81
Faith and Hope your hands sustain,
Victory then ye must obtain,
Yea, and more than conquerors prove
Through your great Redeemer's love.
