Though the night has been long and my trials severe, And heavy my burdens of care; As the mists of the morning they all disappear When Jesus answers my prayer.
Refrain: When Jesus answers my prayer, When Jesus answers my prayer; Oh, the rapture that thrills, the glory that fills, When Jesus answers my prayer!
Then my faith that is tried by the anguish and pain Of afflictions so heavy to bear Is rewarded at last by a wonderful gain When Jesus answers my prayer.
Ever forward I press with my courage renewed And a faith that no foe can impair; With self and a world of allurement subdued, When Jesus answers my prayer.
Oh, the vict’ry is won, and the glory divine, More precious than jewels most rare, Brings a lingering glow o’er this spirit of mine When Jesus answers my prayer.
