What Various Hindrances We Meet
"Continue in prayer and watch in the same with thanksgiving." - Col 4:2
VERSE 1
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?
VERSE 2
Pray'r makes the darken'd cloud withdraw;
Pray'r climbs the ladder Jacob saw,
Give exercise to faith and love,
Brings every blessing from above.
VERSE 3
Restraining pray'r, we cease to fight;
Pray'r makes the Christian's armour bright;
And Saints trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 5
Were half the breath thus vainly spent,
To heav'n in supplication sent,
Our cheerful song would oftener be,
Hear what the Lord hath done for me.
