Prayer Sweet Prayer

"Then Samson called to the Lord and said,

"O Lord God, earnestly remember me and strengthen me."

Judges 16:28

Samson

David Clode

How sweet is the blessing

Our hearts find in prayer!

What comfort and peace it inspires!

A refuge in sorrow,

A solace in care,

A shield in temptation's fierce fires.

Refrain

Prayer, prayer,

Balm for wounded hearts

Prayer, prayer,

Shield for Satan's darts;

Prayer, prayer,

Safeguard all the way,

Till life's rugged path leads up

To realms of day.

How blest the assurance,

When trials assail,

That prayer brings us strength to o'ercome;

That our pleadings for succor

Shall ever prevail,

Till at length we shall reach that blest home.

Refrain

The young and the aged

Rejoice in its power,

The weak and the weary at heart;

Thro' life's toilsome journey,

In death's trying hour

Its promise will not depart.

Refrain

May You Shine
Zemer Levav

Prayer Sweet Prayer
