When our way is hedged about us,
And our cross too great to bear,
How the soul to God is lifted,
Thro� the wondrous power of prayer.

Refrain

Only trust the Savior�s promise,
Do His will, whate�er it be;
Then our faith will hear Him saying,
�Come and find a rest in Me.�

O �tis prayer that brings a blessing,
When our hope on Him is stayed;
Prayer that gives us joy and comfort,
Tho� the answer be delayed.

Refrain

O the joy of sweet communion,
When we know that He is near,
When we feel His love within us,
Casting out our every fear.

Refrain

Why, O why should we be troubled,
When the Lord Himself declares,
If we call on Him believing,
He will grant our fervent prayers.
