What Various Hindrances We Meet

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 527 hymnals Scripture: Luke 11:1 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 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 armor bright; And Satan trembles when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees. 4 Were half the breath oft vainly spent, To heaven in supplication sent, Our cheerful song would oftener be, "Hear what the Lord has done for me."
