A power that is most divinely sweet,
As all my burdens on the Lord I roll,
And meekly linger at His blessed feet.
Refrain:
Then let us ever humbly watch and pray,
Seek oft in tears the Savior’s lovely face;
Come boldly with thy needs for every day,
Blest mercy’s waiting at the throne of grace.
2 I kneel in sweet submission while my prayer
Ascends on wings of faith to Father’s throne;
He listens while my hopeful spirit there
Its faltering petitions maketh known. [Refrain]
3 What bliss to dwell where heaven’s blessings fall,
Until my soul, with mercy’s drops bedewed
Responds in answer to my Father’s call,
With words of thankfulness and gratitude. [Refrain]
4 As angels came to dark Gethsemane
To bless the Savior as He there did bow
Beneath the shadows dense, on bended knee;
O Father, bless my waiting spirit now! [Refrain] Scripture: Hebrews 4:16 Tune Title: [There's stealing o'er my peaceful, trusting soul]
The Blessing of Prayer
