"Poem on Prayer" from the Bible

POEM ON PRAYER
from the Bible: James 5:13-18 (King James Version)

Is any among you afflicted?
Let him pray.
Is any merry?
Let him sing psalms.
Is any sick among you?
Let him call for the elders of the church;
And let them pray over him,
Anointing him with oil
In the name of the Lord:
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick,
And the Lord shall raise him up;
And if he have committed sins,
They shall be forgiven him.
Confess your faults one to another,
And pray one for another,
That ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer
Of a righteous man availeth much.
Elijah was a man subject
To like passions as we are,
And he prayed earnestly that it might not rain:
And it rained not on the earth
By the space of three years and six months.
And he prayed again,
And the heaven gave rain,
And the earth brought forth her fruit.
