Author: Frank M. Davis, 1839-1897 Hymnal: The Sunday School Hymnal #166 (1899) First Line: When weary with the ills of life Lyrics: 1 When weary with the ills of life,
Its burdens and its acres,
There is a balm, a sacred joy,
‘Tis found alone in prayer.
Refrain:
Alone in prayer,
Alone in prayer;
There is a balm, a sacred joy,
‘Tis found alone in prayer.
2 When tempted by the power of sin,
That would the soul ensnare,
There is a sure, a safe retreat,
‘Tis found alone in prayer. [Refrain]
3 There’s grace to help in time of need,
A full supply is there,
Go find it at the Master’s feet,
In humble, heart-felt prayer. [Refrain]
4 When doubts arise and faith is weak,
And crosses hard to bear,
Then seek the Father at His throne,
And find relief in prayer. [Refrain] Topics: Burdens; Cares; Doubt; Prayer; Temptation Tune Title: [When weary with the ills of life]
Alone in prayer
