The Power of Prayer

By James C. Wallace

THERE is an eye that never sleeps Beneath the wing of night; There is an ear that never shuts When sink the beams of light;

There is an arm that never tires When human strength gives way; There is a love that never fails When earthly loves decay.

But there's a power which man can wield When mortal aid is vain, That eye, that arm, that love to reach, That listening ear to gain.

That power is prayer, which soars on high, Through Jesus, to the throne, And moves the hand that moves the world, To bring salvation down.

— James C. Wallace.
