William Phillips and Lorenzo Snow's Deliverance from Attack in Tredegar

“When I saw that, I took hold of him, and then our enemy lost his grip, and fell down and hit his back against the wall; at that time the candle went out, as if by a miracle. Then we sat up in the bed, and they were now vowing and swearing that they would kill us after lighting the candle. We feared lest they might harm us with a knife in the dark, but then we perceived that they had all gone out of our room. We were taken with fear upon thinking how much danger we were in, and we prayed to God to save us. After an instant we heard their noise coming up to us again, swearing frightfully; and when we saw the light of the candle coming in, we jumped out of the bed; and by then the head of one of them came into sight at the door. Then we closed the door against him, causing him to fall down over some of the stairs; and that is where we remained for about half an hour pushing our backs against the door, to keep them from coming in. At times they almost overcame us, and were about to come in; and when it became extremely hard for us, I heard brother Snow praying softly, “Oh, Father, help us, for it is very hard for us,” to which I added “Amen, amen,” in the midst of my groans. There was not time to offer a long prayer, and so one was not offered. We managed to keep them out through it all; and although we could hear them vowing, that if they could break in, they would kill us, and although they almost got in at times, yet we got renewed strength to keep them out; and although there were five of them, at least, big strong men, we overcame them with our strength. — Udgorn Seion (Zion's Trumpet), No. 23 (November 15, 2015) (English translation by Ronald D.
