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.

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

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.
