And nothing can hinder the soul that will dare,
For prayer changes things.
2 “Whatsoever ye desire when ye pray;”
Hear His loving promise, ‘tis for you today;
Stand upon His faithfulness; fresh courage take:
“All is yours”—for His dear sake. [Refrain]
3 While you plead His mighty name cannot fail,
Heeding not the darkness, nor the fiercest gale;
Shadows at His word will flee, and storm be calm,
Sorrows turn to joyful psalm. [Refrain]
