No matter hard hard goes the battle of life

August 12

No matter how hard goes the battle of life,
God’s children need never despair;
His conquering grace giveth peace ‘mid the strife,
There is wonderful pow’r in prayer.

We know that the roses not always will bloom,
The skies will not always be fair;
But go to the Father to brighten the gloom,
There is wonderful pow’r in prayer.

Perhaps you are seeking a soul far astray;
That name to the mercy-seat bear;
The Shepherd Himself will go with you today,
There is wonderful pow’r in prayer.

Thro’ all the swift changes that come to us here,
Till white robes of glory we wear,
We’ll look up to Jesus for comfort and cheer,
There is wonderful pow’r in prayer.

Chorus
Wonderful pow’r,
A wonderful pow’r in prayer;
For it moveth the Arm that moveth the worlds,
There’s a wonderful pow’r in prayer.
