O Lord, thy Spirits aid impart,And fill me with devotions fire Create anew my waiting heart,And heavenly breathings there inspire Bid heart and flesh cry out for thee,And thou my joyful portion be Let incense smoking from my breast,In praise and prayer ascend thy hill And where I rove, or where I rest,Do thou, O God, surround me still My heavenly intercourse increase,Till as a river flows my peace.

In thy behalf appears Before the throne my surety stands My name is written on his hands. He ever lives above,For me to intercede His all redeeming love,His precious blood to plead His blood atoned for all our race,And sprinkles now the throne of grace. Five bleeding wounds he bears,Received on Calvary They pour effectual prayers,They strongly speak for me. Forgive him, O forgive, they cry,Nor let that ransomed sinner die. The Father hears him prayHis dear Anointed One He cannot turn away. The presence of his Son His Spirit answers to the blood,And tells me I am born of God. My God is reconciled,His pardoning voice I hear He owns me for his child,I can no longer fear With confidence I now draw nigh,And Father, Abba Father, cry. Charles WesleyPrayer and its Remarkable Answers, Patton, p 1. A saint there was in days of oldThough we but little of him hearIn honour high, of whom is told. A short, but an effectual prayer. This prayer, my brethren, let us view,And try if we can pray so too. He called on Israels God, tis said Let us take notice first of that Had he to any other prayed,To us it had not mattered what For all true Israelites adore. One God, Jehovah, and no more. O that thou wouldst me bless indeed,And that thou wouldst enlarge my bound And let thy hand in every need. A guide and help be with me found That thou wouldst cause that evil be No cause of pain and grief to me. What is it to be blest indeed,But to have all our sins forgiven To be from guilt and terror freed,Redeemed from hell, and sealed for heaven To worship an incarnate God,And know he saved us by his blood And next, to have our cost enlarged. Is, that our hearts extend their plan From bondage and from fear discharged,And filled with love to God and man To cast off every narrow thought,And use the freedom Christ has bought. To use this liberty aright,And not the grace of God abuse,We always need his hand, his might,Lest what he gives us we should lose Spiritual pride would soon creep in,And turn his very grace to sin. This prayer, so long ago preferred,Is left on sacred record thus And this good prayer by God was heard,And kindly handed down to us. Thus Jabez prayed, for thats his name. May all believers pray the same. Jabezs Prayer 1 Chr 4 9,1. A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship, William Gadsby, 7. AWAKEOne man awake, awakens another. The second awakens his next door brother. The three awake can rouse a town,By turning the whole place upside down. The many awake can make such a fuss,It finally awakens the rest of us. One man up with dawn in his eyes,Surely then multiplies. Lawrence Tribble, during the Great Awakening Prayer Meeting Ps. Behold, dear Lord, we come again,To supplicate thy grace We feel our leanness and our wants We want to see thy face. Thou knowst, dear Lord, for what were come Each heart is known to thee. Lord, give our burdened spirits rest,And bid us all go free. Weve nothing of our own to plead,We come just as we are And who can tell but God may bless, And drive away our fearWhile one is pleading with our God,May each one wrestle too And may we feel the blessing come,And cheer us ere we go. Then shall we sing of sovereign grace. And feel its power within And glory in our Surety, Christ,Who bore our curse and sin. For this we come, for this we plead,In spite of every foe Unto thou give this blessing, Lord,We would not let thee go. D. Herbert A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship, William Gadsby, 6.
