Prayer Is Appointed to Convey

Prayer is ap­point­ed to con­vey

The bless­ings God de­signs to give:

Long as they live should Christ­ians pray;

They learn to pray when first they live.

If pain af­flict

or wrongs op­press;

If cares dis­tract

or fears dis­may;

If guilt de­ject

if sin dis­tress;

In ev­ery case

still watch and pray.

’Tis pray­er sup­ports the soul that’s weak;

Though thought be brok­en

lang­uage lame

Pray

if thou canst or canst not speak;

But pray with faith in Je­sus’ name.

Depend on Him; thou canst not fail;

Make all thy wants and wish­es known;

Fear not; His mer­its must pre­vail:

Ask but in faith

it shall be done.
