And a golden image made
What answer then did God accord
When Holy Moses prayed?

And pitched the battle there
Who conquered in Jehovah's name
Who proved the power of prayer?

Who heard blind Samson's prayer?

Who then besought the Lord?
Who then so earnestly did plead
'Til He the rain outpoured?

When told that he must die
Did prayers and tears avail at all
Did heaven heed his cry?

And far from God did stray
Who, when he their repentance saw
The evil turned away?

Are there stories more that we may read
And what did Jesus say
Why we should tell him all our need
And "without ceasing" pray?
