Prayer.
Prayer was appointed to conveyThe blessings God designs to give;Long as they live should Christians pray,For only while they pray they live.And shall we in dead silence lie,When Christ stands waiting for our prayer?My soul, thou hast a Friend on high;Arise and try thy interest there.If pain afflict, or wrongs oppress;If cares distract, or fears dismay;If guilt deject, if sin distress;The remedy’s before thee—Pray!Depend on Christ, thou canst not fail;Make all thy wants and wishes known.Fear not; His merits must prevail;Ask what thou wilt; it shall be done!—Joseph Hart.
