Prayer ¤is a ¤might¤y ¤source of pow’r;
With¤¤out it ¤we must ¤sure¤ly fail;
While ¤Mo¤ses prayed, the ¤en¤e¤¤mies
Of Is¤ra¤el could ¤not pre¤vail.

Then ¤broth¤er, ¤sis¤ter, ¤plead and pray,
God ¤reigns in ¤maj¤es¤¤ty on high;
His ¤eyes be¤hold His ¤cho¤sen ¤ones,
His ear is lis¤t’ning ¤to their cry.

God ¤will a¤¤venge His ¤own e¤lect
Whose ¤prayers as¤¤cend both ¤day and night,
And ¤out of weak¤ness ¤make them ¤strong,
And put their en¤e¤¤mies to flight.

The ¤hosts of ¤sin are ¤march¤ing on,
And ¤forth to ¤death their ¤cap¤tives lead,
And ¤they must per¤ish ¤if we ¤cease
To watch and pray and ¤in¤ter¤cede.

Souls ¤wan¤der ¤on out¤¤side the fold,
And ¤God looks ¤down with ¤pit¤ying eye
On ¤har¤vest great and ¤la¤b’rers ¤few,
While souls drift on in ¤sin to die.

My ¤broth¤er, ¤sis¤ter, ¤walk with God,
With ¤per¤fect ¤hearts, sin¤¤cere and true,
That ¤souls now lost in ¤sin may ¤see
The life of Christ re¤¤vealed in you.
