Lyrics from Relief Society Song Book, 1919, no. 36
1. Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, Unuttered or expressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 2. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. 3. Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4. Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, The Christian’s native air; His watchword at the gates of death; He enters heav’n with pray’r.
