Exhortation to Prayer

Hymnal: Society hymns, original and selected on evangelical and experimental subjects #XVII (1790) First Line: What various hindrances we meet Lyrics: 1 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? 2 Prayer makes the darken'd cloud withdraw, Prayer climes 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 While Moses stood with arms spread wide, Success was found on Israel's side; But when through weariness they fail'd, That moment Amalek prevail'd. 5 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. 6 Were half the breath thus vainly spent To Heav'n in supplication sent, Your cheerful song would oft'ner be, "Hear what the Lord has done for me."
