PRAYER
Prayer is the mightiest force that men can wield’
A power to which Omnipotence doth yield;
A privilege unparalleled, a way
Whereby the Almighty Father can display
His interest in His children’s need and care.
Jehovah’s storehouse is unlocked by prayer,
And faith doth turn the key. Oh! Would that men
Made full proof of this wondrous means, for then
Would mightier blessings on the Church be showered,
Her witness owned, her ministers empowered,
And souls ingathered. Then the Gospel’s sound
Would soon be heard to earth’s remotest bound.
All things are possible if men but pray,
And if God did bit limit to a day,
The time in which He’d note the upward glance,
Or fix the place, or name the circumstance,
When., where, or why petition could be brought,
Methinks His presence would by all be sought.
