Exhortation to Prayer
Author: Cowper Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Worship Hymns Before Prayer; Hymns before prayer 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 darkened clouds 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 armor 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 thro' 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 a fellow-creature's 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 oft'ner be,
"Hear what the Lord has done for me."

The bright angelic hosts obey,
O! lend a pitying ear:
When on thy awful name we call,
And at thy feet submissive fall,
O! condescend to hear.
2 Far may thy glorious reign extend,
May rebels to thy sceptre bend,
And yield to sovereign love:
May we take pleasure to fulfil
The sacred dictates of thy will,
As angels do above.
3 From thy kind hand each temporal good,
Our raiment and our daily food,
In rich abundance come:
Lord, give us still a fresh supply,
If thou withhold thy hand, we die,
And fill the silent tomb.
4 Pardon our sins, O God! that rise,
And call for vengeance from the skies;
And while we are forgiven,
Grant that revenge may never rest,
And malice harbor in that breast
That fells the love of Heaven.
5 Protect us in the dangerous hour,
And from the wily tempter's power;
O! set our spirits free;
And if temptation should assail,
May might grace o'er all prevail,
And lead our hearts to thee.
6 Thine is the power, to thee belongs
The constant tribute of our songs,
All glory to thy name:
Let every creature join our lays,
In one resounding act of praise
Thy wonders to proclaim.

The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.

The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of the eye
When none but God is near.

That infant lips can try;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.

The Christian's native air,
His watchword at the gates of death;
He enters heaven with prayer.

The Life, the Truth, the Way!
The path of prayer Thyself hast trod;
Lord, teach us how to pray.

A thousand thoughts revolve,
Come, with your guilt and fear opprest,
And make this last resolve.
2 "I'll go to Jesus, tho' my sin
"hath like a mountain rose;
"I know his courts, I'll enter in,
"Whatever may oppose.
3 "Prostrate I'll lie before his throne,
"And there my guilt confess,
"I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone
"Without his sovereign grace.
4 "I'll to the gracious King approach,
"Whose sceptre pardon gives,
"Perhaps he may command my touch,
"And then the suppliant lives.
5 "Perhaps he will admit my plea,
"Perhaps will hear my prayer;
"But if I perish I will pray,
"And perish only there.
6 "I can but perish if I go,
"I am resolv'd to try:
"For if I stay away, I know
"I must forever die."

The successful Resolve. I will go unto the King
I will not let the go except tyou bless me
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLIV (1792) Topics: Worship Hymns Before Prayer; Hymns before prayer First Line: Lord, I cannot let thee go Lyrics: 1 Lord, I cannot let thee go,
'Till a blessing thou bestow;
Do not turn away thy face,
Mine's an urgent, pressing case.
2 Dost thou ask me who I am?
Ah, my Lord, thou know'st my name!
Yet a question gives a plea,
To support my suit with thee.
3 Thou did'st once a wretch behold,
In rebellion blindly bold,
Scorn thy grace thy power defy,
That poor rebel, Lord, was I.
4 Once a sinner near despair
Sought thy mercy-seat by prayer;
Mercy heard and set him free,
Lord, that mercy came to me.
5 Many days have pass'd since then,
Many changes I have seen;
Yet have been upheld 'till now,
Who could hold me up but thou.
6 Thou hast help'd in every need,
This emboldens me to plead:
After so much mercy past,
Can'st thou let me sink at last?
7 No – I must maintain my hold,
'Tis thy goodness makes me bold;
I can no denial take
When I plead for Jesus' sake.
Scripture: Genesis 10 Languages: English
I will not let the go except tyou bless me
