What various hindrances we meet
Author: Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 524 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 19:12 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 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.
5 Were half the breath thus vainly spent
To heaven in supplication sent,
Our cheerful song would oftener be,
Hear what the Lord hath done for me. Topics: Prayer; Hindrances to Prayer

When, O God, our faith is tested
We sing your praise, eternal God
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 1 Kings 19 Lyrics: 1 We sing your praise, eternal God,
to whom all praise belongs;
but we can never match your love,
however loud our songs:
2 Your love which comes so silently,
through all the noise we hear;
the noise of quarrelling and war,
the cries of grief and fear.
3 The winds of doubt uproot our faith,
the earthquakes of despair
destroy our hope, and fires of hate
kill love and stifle prayer.
4 And yet no sound on earth can drown
the silence we have heard;
the voice of your eternal love;
the silence of your Word.
5 It comes to guilty, broken hearts,
with challenge and release;
prepares us for self-sacrifice
and speaks eternal peace. Topics: Doubt; Fear; God Love of; Justice and Peace; Peace Used With Tune: THIS ENDRIS NYGHT
We sing your praise, eternal God
