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 !

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 Armour Bright ;
And Satan Trembles When He Sees
The Weakest Saint Upon His Knees.
