What various hindrances we meet
In coming to the mercy seat!
Yet who that knows the worth of prayer
But wishes to be often there!
- Refrain:
  The worth of prayer, the worth of prayer,
  Teach us, O Lord, the worth of prayer.
Prayer makes the darkened clouds withdraw;
Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw;
Gives exercise to faith and love;
Brings every blessing from above.
When we pray not, we cease to fight:
Prayer makes the Christian’s armor bright,
And Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.
