PRAYING AND PRAISING.
    6  Till then I would thy love proclaim
        With every fleeting breath ;
      And may the music of thy name
        Refresh my soul in death.

           The power of God encouraging prayer.
    1  | EHOVAH is a god of might,
      J He framed the earth, he built the sky;
      And what he speaks is surely right;
        'The strength of Israel will not lie.’
    2  Ye weary souls, with sin oppressed,
        To him in every trouble fly ;
      His promise is, I’ll give you rest
        ‘The strength of Israel will not lie.’
    3  Then why sink down beneath despair ?
        To Jesus’ throne of grace apply ;
      His promise plead, he’ll hear your prayer,
        ‘The strength of Israel will not lie.’
    4  Ask what you will in Jesus’ name,
        He never will your suit deny :
      To save you from distress he came ;
        ‘The strength of Israel will not lie.’
    5  Behold, I come, most gracious Hord,
        And on thy promise now rely ;
      In my distress how sweet this word :
        ‘The strength of Israel will not lie I’

     1  LJOLY Jesus, lovely Lamb,
      n Thine, and only thine I am ;
