A Blessing in Prayer

There is rest

sweet rest

at the Mas­ter’s feet

There is fa­vor now at the mer­cy seat

For aton­ing blood has been sprin­kled there;

There is al­ways a bless­ing

a bless­ing in pray­er.

There’s a bless­ing in pray­er

in be­liev­ing pray­er

When our Sav­ior’s name to the throne we bear;

Then a Fa­ther’s love will re­ceive us there;

There is al­ways a bless­ing

a bless­ing in pray­er.

There is grace to help in our time of need

For our friend ab­ove is a friend

in­deed;

We may cast on Him ev­ery grief and care;

There is al­ways a bless­ing

a bless­ing in pray­er.

When our songs are glad with the joy of life

When our hearts are sad with its ills and strife

When the pow­ers of sin would the soul en­snare

There is al­ways a bless­ing

a bless­ing in pray­er.

There is per­fect peace tho’ the wild waves roll

There are gifts of love for the seek­ing soul

Till we praise the Lord in His home so fair

There is al­ways a bless­ing

a bless­ing in pray­er.
