CX + 

The Power of Prayer + 

There is not on the earth a soul so base + 

But may obtain a place + 

In covenanted grace; + 

So that his feeble prayer of faith obtains + 

Some loosening of his chains, + 

And earnests of the great release, which rise + 

From gift to gift, and reach at length the eternal prize. + 

All may save self;⁠—but minds that heavenward tower + 

Aim at a wider power, + 

Gifts on the world to shower.⁠— + 

And this is not at once;⁠—by fastings gain’d, + 

And trials well sustain’d, + 

By pureness, righteous deeds, and toils of love, + 

Abidance in the Truth, and zeal for God above. + 
