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.
