The Power of Prayer.
The Sun by Pray'r did cease his course, and staid;The hungry Lions sawn'd upon their Prey;
A Walled passage through the Sea it made;
From furious fire it banish'd heat away:
It shut the Heav'ns three years from giving Rain;
It open'd Heav'ns, and show'rs pour'd down again.
O may our Pray'rs, dear Lord, approach to thee;
Petitions hear, and then propitious be.
Teach us to praise thy Name with one accord,
That we may sing due praise to thee, O Lord.
