What various hind'rances we meet

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #484 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What various hind'rances we meet In coming to the mercy-seat! Yet who that knows the worth of pray'r, But wishes to be often there! 2 Pray'r makes the darken'd clouds withdraw; Pray'r climbs the ladder Jacob saw-- Gives exercise to faith and love-- Brings ev'ry blessing from above. 3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight; Pray'r makes the christian's armour bright; And satan trembles when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees. 4 Have you no words? ah! think again: Words flow apace when you complain, And fill your fellow-creature's ear With the sad tale of all your care. 5 Were half our breath thus vainly spent, To heaven in supplications sent-- Your cheerful songs should oftener be, "Hear what the Lord has done for me!"
