82. God Answers Prayer

1 God gives me this assurance sweet,
He’ll meet me at the mercy-seat;
Peace sheds a benediction there,
Because God hears and answers prayer.

Refrain:
God will answer, certainly answer,
Lovingly answer my prayer;
God will answer, certainly answer,
Answer my trustful prayer.

2 When sorrow presses to my heart,
And joys, like morning dews, depart;
It soothes the pain and lifts the care,
To know that God will answer prayer. [Refrain]

3 Oh, let me trust the Father still,
And wait the workings of his will;
The time, the manner he’ll prepare,
His truth is pledg’d to answer prayer. [Refrain]

4 When in this blessed home I see
The face of him who died for me,
And his immortal glories share,
I’ll know that God has answered prayer. [Refrain]
