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 clouds 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.
