Lord, let my prayer like incense rise,
Before thy throne above the skies;
My breathings all accepted be,
Through Jesus pleading there for me.
When nought but troubles here I find,
And none to ease my burdened mind,
Oh may this thought the mountain move,
That I've an Advocate above.
Thou sovereign ruler of my heart,
Thy quickening grace to me impart,
That I no more may prayer restrain,
Or pray remissly and in vain.
---Alternative verses---
Lord, let my prayer like incense rise,
Before thy throne above the skies;
And my requests accepted be,
Through Jesus pleading there for me.
When nought but troubles here I find,
Prayer relieves the anxious mind;
By it I cast my care on thee,
Who carest, and wilt care for me.
Thou sovereign Ruler of my heart,
Thy quick'ning grace to me impart;
If this denied, I prayer restrain,
Or pray remissly, and in vain.
