Text: | Prayer is the Key |
Author: | Fanny J. Crosby |
Tune: | [How sweet to hide ourselves away] |
Composer: | I. Allan Sankey |
1 How sweet to hide ourselves away
Where only God is near,
And breathe our inmost secret tho’ts
Where only He can hear.
Refrain:
Pray;r is the key, the only key,
To heav’n’s unfailing store;
Faith is the hand that guides our own,
But pray’r unlocks the door.
2 There’s not a wound that sorrow gives,—
There’s not a pain we feel—
But if we go to God in pray’r,
His love will gently heal. [Refrain]
3 How oft in pray’r a sudden light
Breaks forth thro’ clouded skies,
And on its beams, to Him we love,
Our longing souls arise. [Refrain]
4 In pray’r we find a calm relief,
From every throb of pain;
And they who trust in Christ, our Lord,
Shall never trust in vain. [Refrain]
