The Power of Prayer

Author: Newton Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #397 (1844) Topics: Prayer and Watchfulness First Line: In themselves as weak as worms Lyrics: 1 In themselves as weak as worms, How can poor believers stand, When temptations, foes, and storms, Press them close on every hand? 2 Weak, indeed, they feel they are, But they know the Throne of Grace; And the God who answers prayer, Helps them when they seek his face. 3 Though the Lord awhile delay, Succour they at length obtain; He who taught their hearts to pray, Will not let them cry in vain. 4 Wrestling prayer can wonders do; Bring relief in deepest straits! Prayer can force a passage through Iron bars and brazen gates. 5 For the wonders he has wrought, Let us now our praises give; And, by sweet experience taught, Call upon him while we live.

Bid the unruly throng depart, And leave the consecrated door. 2 Devoted as it is to thee, A thievish swarm frequents the place; They steal away my joys from me, And rob my Saviour of his praise. 3 There, too, a sharp designing trade, Sin, Satan, and the world maintain; Nor cease to press me, and persuade To part with ease and purchase pain. 4 I know them, and I hate their din; Am weary of the bustling crowd; But while their voice is heard within, I cannot serve thee as I would. 5 O for the joy thy presence gives; What peace shall reign when thou art here; Thy presence makes this den of thieves A calm, delightful house of prayer. 6 And if thou make thy temple shine, Yet, self-abased, will I adore; The gold and silver are not mine; I give thee what was thine before.

Can his pity or his power Suffer thee to pray in vain? Wait but his appointed hour, And thy suit thou shalt obtain. Languages: English
