41. Wonderful Power in Prayer

1 No matter how hard goes the battle of life,
God’s children need never despair;
His conquering grace giveth peace ‘mid the strife,
There is wonderful pow’r in prayer.

Refrain:
Wonderful pow’r,
A wonderful pow’r in prayer;
For it moveth the Arm that moveth the world;
There’s a wonderful pow’r in prayer.

2 We know that roses not always will bloom,
The skies will not always be fair;
But go to the Father to brighten the gloom,
There is wonderful pow’r in prayer. [Refrain]

3 Perhaps you are seeking a soul far astray,—
That name to the mercy-seat bear;
The Shepherd himself will go with you today,
There is wonderful pow’r in prayer. [Refrain]

4 Thro’ all the swift changes that come to us here,
Till white robes of glory we wear,
We’ll look up to Jesus for comfort and cheer;
There is wonderful pow’r in prayer. [Refrain]
