1 Tho' 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:
O the rapture that thrills, the glory that fills,
When Jesus answers my prayer!

2 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. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 O 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. [Refrain]
