Because you prayed
God touched our weary bodies with His power
And gave us strength for many a trying hour
In which we might have faltered, had not you,
Our intercessors faithful been, and true.
Because you prayed
God touched our lips with coals from altar fire,
Gave Spirit-fullness, and did so inspire
That, when we spoke, sin-blinded souls did see;
Sin's chains were broken;
Captives were made free.
Because you prayed
The dwellers in the dark have found the Light;
The glad Good-news has banished heathen night,
The message of the cross, so long delayed,
Has brought them life at last -
Because you prayed
