The Path of Prayer

Representative Text

1 There’s a way to brighten ev’ry weary day,
Make its burdens light to bear,
Banish all the gloom, brush ev’ry tear away;
Take the blessed, blessed path of pray’r.

Refrain:
O that blessed way! May we every stay,
In the sunshine of communion there;
‘Tis the path to follow, follow ev’ry day,
Take the blessed, blessed path of pray’r.

2 There’s a road that leadeth to the throne of grace,
Peace and joy await us there;
We will find a blessing at that hallow’d place.
When we take the blessed path of pray’r. [Refrain]

3 There’s a mountain height from which we may survey
All the land of promise fair;
We may climb that steep, and view the land today,
By the blessed, blessed path of pray’r. [Refrain]
