A Blessing in Prayer (Canaan Melodies #48)

A beautiful old hymn celebrating the unfailing blessing found in believing prayer. Enjoy this lovely tune and the words about divine grace, rest at the mercy seat, and the Father's faithful love in every season of life. Written by EE Hewitt, with music by the great WJ Kirkpatrick.

1 There is rest, sweet rest, at the Master's feet.
There is favor now at the mercy seat,
For atoning blood has been sprinkled there.
There is always a blessing, a blessing in prayer.

There's a blessing in prayer, in believing prayer,
When our Saviour's name to the throne we bear.
Then a Father's love will receive us there;
There is always a blessing, a blessing in prayer.

2 There is grace to help in our time of need,
For our Friend above is a Friend indeed.
We may cast on Him ev'ry grief and care.
There is always a blessing, a blessing in prayer.

3 When our songs are glad with the joy of life,
When our hearts are sad with its ills and strife,
When the pow'rs of sin would the soul ensnare,
There is always a blessing, a blessing in prayer.

4 There is perfect peace tho' the wild waves roll;
There are gifts of love for the seeking soul,
Till we praise the Lord in His home so fair.
There is always a blessing, a blessing in prayer.
