The veil is rent and opened is
A new and living way;
With boldness thru the precious blood,
We come to Thee to pray.

By Thy redemption we may come
Into the holiest place;
Thy Spirit now anointing us,
We touch the throne of grace.

In spirit only we would pray,
Ourselves by Thee possessed,
That from our spirit Christ the Lord
As incense be expressed.

Thy grace and mercy as a stream
From out the throne does flow,
Refreshing in the hour of need—
How rich, how sweet to know!

Though for our needs we do not ask
But by Thy Spirit pray,
Our every need is known to Thee,
We’re in Thy care alway.

Our every need is known to Thee,

Though griefs and trials on us press,
We will not anxious be,
But all our care upon Thee cast
And set our spirit free.

But all our care upon Thee cast
And set our spirit free.

O may I concentrated be
In fellowship with Thee,
My prayer and incense offering,
Thy Spirit leading me.

My prayer and incense offering,
Thy Spirit leading me.

I recently read up on Madame Guyon. She was called a Mystic. I believe this means she realized the spirit and the important prayer.
When I read some of that sister’s beliefs on prayer and fellowship I see she had a deep spiritual contact with God. I believe she really knew her spirit. Her thoughts on these deep spiritual feelings were not received well and she was imprisoned for a time. This hymn portrays that same spiritual sense with many biblical references like “boldly go to the throne of Grace”. Thank you Lord for all your gifts that the church can be built upon in love. Lead us more into this mystical realm of our spirit in our experience.

Though for our needs we do not ask but by Thy spirit pray, Our every need is known to Thee, We’re in Thy care alway.
A fresh vision of the Lord is what I need. I love this hymn. It reminds me that I am in God’s care always and that fresh revelation of the Lord is available because the veil is rent.

This is incredible, Why does the Lord want man to pray? It’s because he “needs” man to cooperate with him through prayer to accomplish his heart desire and need. See, God knows our needs already no doubt, but the problem is that we don’t know his needs, thus our prayer is needed. I recommend the book “Lesson on prayer” by witness lee. A huge help to the Lord’s recovery.
