The Power of Prayer. Ps. 50. 15; James 5. 16-18
J. Newton 7s
1
In themselves as weak as worms,
How can poor believers stand,
When temptations, foes, and storms,
Press them close on every hand?
2
Weak, indeed, they feel they are,
But they know the Throne of Grace;
And the God who answers prayer,
Helps them when they seek his face.
3
Though the Lord awhile delay,
Succour they at length obtain;
He who taught their hearts to pray,
Will not let them cry in vain.
4
Wrestling prayer can wonders do;
Bring relief in deepest straits!
Prayer can force a passage through
Iron bars and brazen gates.
5
For the wonders he has wrought,
Let us now our praises give;
And, by sweet experience taught,
Call upon him while we live.
