123. Prevailing Prayer

1 Would you know the secret
Of prevailing pray'r?
Take the things you ask for,
Hear your lord declare:

Chorus;
"When ye pray, believe,
You may then receive;
And the things you ask for,
You shall surely have."

2 Would you know the blessing
Of a joy replete?
Ask, it shall be given,
Answers clear and sweet. [Chorus]

3 'Tis our Lord's commandment,
"Ask, and ye shall have,"
Faith can move the mountains,
Bring forth from the grave. [Chorus]

4 Promises so precious,
Cannot fail his own;
Claim them, nothing doubting,
Grace is on the throne. [Chorus]
