47. The Power of Prayer

1 There is in prayer a wondrous pow’r,
Inspired of God alone,
That brings to us “The Prince of Peace,”
And seals our hearts His own.

Refrain:
The pow’r of prayer can never fail,
O’er sin and death it will prevail;
The pow’r of prayer, when time is past,
Will lead us home at last.

2 There is in prayer a mighty pow’r,
That draws our souls above,
And makes us one in Christ the Lord,
Whom, though unseen, we love. [Refrain]

3 There is in prayer a trusting pow’r,
That keeps us day by day;
That clings to Him, our Hope, our All,
To Him, the Truth, the Way. [Refrain]

4 Whate’er of joy our cup may fill,
Whate’er of pain we bear,
‘Tis prayer, still prayer, the Lord commands;
Let every breath be prayer. [Refrain]
