14857. Jesus Answers Prayer

1 Tho’ shadows gather and the way seems long,
Clouds hide the sunshine, God can give a song;
Let not thy courage falter, nor despair,
For Jesus answers prayer.

Refrain:
Jesus answers prayer;
Jesus answers prayer;
Ask of Him, and come believing,
For Jesus answers prayer.

2 He knows the way is hard: be not dismayed;
Trust in thy Savior, O be not afraid;
Tho’ still unanswered, trust His love and care,
For Jesus answers prayer. [Refrain]

3 Can we not trust Him, who such love doth show?
He lights our pathway wheresoe’er we go;
His yoke is easy, He the load will bear,
For Jesus answers prayer. [Refrain]
