HYMN 180. The power of Prayer.

Prayer is a Duty ev'ry one
Should use both day and night;
Prayer is a Duty God does love,
And in it takes delight.

Prayer is a Duty prevalent,
It has Jehova's Ear;
Prayer should to Heaven be daily sent
When we are in great fear.

VVhate're we want, if we do pray
To thee most fervently,
And ask according to thy VVill,
VVe shall have all supply.

To Prayer of wicked Men, O Lord,
Thou wilt no Answer give;
But wilt hear those who are sincere,
And do uprightly live.

All praise to God, the Lord most high,
VVho hast said, Seek my face;
VVhate're thou dost our Souls deny,
Give us more of thy Grace.
