What Various Hindrances We Meet
In Coming To A Mercy-Seat!
Yet Who, That Knows The Worth Of Prayer,
But Wishes To Be Often There?
Prayer Makes The Darkened Clouds Withdraw;
Prayer Climbs The Ladder Jacob Saw,
Gives Exercise To Faith And Love,
Brings Every Blessing From Above.
Restraining Prayer, We Cease To Fight;
Prayer Makes The Christian’s Armor Bright;
And Satan Trembles, When He Sees
The Weakest Saint Upon His Knees.
Have You No Words? Ah, Think Again;
Words Flow Apace When We Complain,
And Fill A Fellow-Creature’s Ear
With The Sad Tale Of All Our Care.
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!”
