Exhortation to Prayer

Author: Cowper Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #394 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: What various hindrances we meet Lyrics: 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? 2 Prayer makes the darkened cloud withdraw, Prayer climbs 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 failed, That moment Amalek prevailed.] 5 [Have you no words? ah! think again; Words flow apace when you complain, And fill your fellow-creatures’ ear With the sad tale of all your care. 6 Were half the breath thus vainly spent, To heaven in supplication sent, Your cheerful song would oftener be, “Hear what the Lord has done for me.”] Topics: Prayer and Watchfulness Languages: English
