2. Prayer makes the darkest cloud withdraw
    Prayer stands the ladder jacob saw;
    Gives exercise to faith and love,
    Brings every blessing from above.

3. Restraining prayer, we cease to fight;
    P rayer makes the Christian's armor bright.
    And Satan stumbles when he sees,
    The weakest saint upon his knees.

4. When Moses stood with arms spread wide,
    Success was found on Israel's side;
    But when thro' weariness they failed,
    That moment amalek prevailed.

5. Have you no words?  Ah, think again,
    Words .space when you complain;
    And if your fellow creatures err,
    With a sad tale of all your cares.

6. Were soft the breath so vainly spent
    To Heaven in supplication went
    Your cheerful song would often be
    Hear what the Lord hath done for me.
