Wonderful Virtue in Prayer

When wea­ri­some mo­ments ab­ide

And bur­dens are hea­vy to bear

Tell Je­sus what­ev­er be­tide

And ask Him to light­en your care.

Oh

bear not your bur­dens alone

To Je­sus

your Sav­ior

re­pair.

And let your pe­ti­tions be known

There’s won­der­ful vir­tue in pray­er.

If sin has be­cloud­ed your way

Forget not your Rock and your Shield

But go un­to Je­sus and say

Dear Sav­ior

I come to be healed.

His ear will at­tend to your cry

His eye nei­ther slum­bers nor sleeps

His love will your spir­its sup­ply

His child­ren in safe­ty He keeps.

Then trust Him for mer­cies to come

Nor yield to temp­ta­tions sev­ere

He’ll lead you in peace to your home

And wipe from your eyes ev­ery tear.
