What various hindrances we meet
In coming to the mercy-seat?
Yet who that knows the worth of prayer,
But wishes to be often there.
2.
Pray’r makes the darken’d cloud withdraw,
Pray’r climbs the ladder Jacob saw;
Gives exercise to faith and love,
Brings every blessing from above.
3.
Restraining prayer, we cease to fight;
Prayer makes the Christian’s armour bright;
And Satan trembles, when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.
4.
O Lord, increase our faith and love,
That we may all thy goodness prove,
And gain from thy exhaustless store
The fruits of prayer for evermore.
5.
Were half the breath thus vainly spent,
To heaven in supplication sent;
Our cheerful song would oftener be,
“Hear what the LORD has done for me.”
Amen
