The Spirit of Prayer

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 26:3

Verse 1

The praying spirit breathe, The watching power impart, From all entanglements beneath Call off my peaceful heart.

Verse 2

My feeble mind sustain, By worldly thoughts oppressed; Appear, and bid me turn again To my eternal rest.

Verse 3

Swift to my rescue come, Thine own this moment seize; Gather my wandering spirit home, And keep in perfect peace:

Verse 4

Suffer no more to rove O'er all the earth abroad, Arrest the prisoner of thy love, And shut me up in God.
