Prayer, Sweet Prayer
Author: Charles M. Lewis Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: How sweet is the blessing Refrain First Line: Prayer, prayer Lyrics: 1 How sweet is the blessing
Our hearts find in prayer!
What comfort and peace it inspires!
A refuge in sorrow,
A solace in care,
A shield in temptation’s fierce fires.
Refrain:
Prayer, prayer,
Balm for wounded hearts;
Prayer, prayer,
Shield for Satan’s darts;
Prayer, prayer,
Safeguard all the way,
Till life’s rugged path leads up
To realms of day.
2 How blest the assurance,
When trials assail,
That prayer brings us strength to o’ercome;
That our pleadings for succor
Shall ever prevail,
Till at length we shall reach that blest home. [Refrain]
2 The young and the agèd
Rejoice in its power,
The weak and the weary at heart;
Thro’ life’s toilsome journey,
In death’s trying hour
Its promises will not depart. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [How sweet is the blessing] Text Sources: Songs of Love and Praise No. 4, by John R. Sweney, Henry Gilmour, and J. Howard Entwisle (Philadelphia: John J. Hood, 1897)
