Our Father, God, who art in heaven

Hymnal: BW1867 #168 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our Father, God, who art in heaven, All hallowed be thy name! Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, In earth and heaven the same! 2 Give us, this day, our daily bread; And as we those forgive Who sin against us, so may we Forgiving grace receive. 3 Into temptation lead us not; From evil set us free; And Thine the kingdom, Thine the power And glory, ever be!

From every stormy wind that blows

Hymnal: BW1867 #169 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat; 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads-- A place, than all besides, more sweet; It is the blood-stained mercy-seat. 3 There is a spot where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far; by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. 4 Ah! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismayed? Or how the hosts of hell defeat, Had suffering saints no mercy-seat? 5 There, there on eagle wings we soar, And sense and sin molest no more, And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat. 6 Oh! let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold, and still, This throbbing heart forget to beat, If I forget the mercy-seat.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Hymnal: BW1867 #170 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear; The upward glancing of an eye When none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, The Christian’s native air, His watchword at the gates of death-- He enters heaven with prayer. 5 Prayer is the contrite sinner’s voice, Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice And cry, "Behold, he prays." 6 In prayer, on earth, the saints are one; They're one in word and mind, When with the Father and Son Sweet fellowship they find. 7 O Thou, by whom we come to God, The Life, the Truth, the Way, The path of prayer Thyself hast trod: Lord, teach us how to pray.

Prayer was appointed to convey

Hymnal: BW1867 #171 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Prayer was appointed to convey The blessings God designs to give; Long as they live, should Christians pray, For only while they pray, they live. 2 The Christian's heart his prayer indices, He speaks as prompted from within; The Spirit his petition write, And Christ receives, and gives it in. 3 And shall we in dead silence lie, When Christ stands waiting for our prayer? My soul, thou hast a Friend on high; Arise, and try thine interest there. 4 If pains afflict, or wrongs oppress-- If cares distract, or fears dismay-- If guilt deject--if sin distress, The remedy's before thee--pray. 5 'Tis prayer supports the soul that's weak; Though thought be broken-- language lame, Pray, if thou canst, or canst not speak, But pray with faith in Jesus' name.

Blest hour! when mortal man retires

Hymnal: BW1867 #172 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Blest hour! when mortal man retires To hold communion with his God, To send to heaven his warm desires, And listen to the sacred word. 2 Blest hour! when God himself draws nigh, Well pleased His people's voice to hear, To hush the penitential sigh, And wipe away the mourner's tear. 3 Blest hour! for, where the Lord resorts, Foretastes of future bliss are given, And mortals find His earthly courts The house of God--the gate of heaven! 4 Hail, peaceful hour! supremely blest, Amid the hours of worldly care; The hour that yields the spirit rest, That sacred hour--the hour of prayer. 5 And when my hours of prayer are past, And this frail tenement decays, Then may I spend in heaven at last A never-ending hour of praise.

No, never shall my heart despond

Hymnal: BW1867 #173 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 No, never shall my heart despond, Long as my lips can pray; My latest breath, with effort fond, Shall pass in prayer away. 2 There is a heavenly mercy-seat To calm the sinner's fears; There is a Saviour at whose feet The mourner dries his tears. 3 When friends depart, and hopes are riven, And gathering storms I see, My soul is but the sooner driven, Eternal Rock! to Thee. 4 Oh for a voice of sweeter sound, For every wind to bear, To teach the listening world around The blessedness of prayer!

What various hindrances we meet

Hymnal: BW1867 #174 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet In coming to a mercy-seat! Yet who that knows the worth of prayer, But wishes to be often there! 2 Prayer makes the darkened cloud withdraw; Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw-- Gives exercise to faith and love-- Brings every blessing from above. 3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight; Prayer makes the Christian’s armor bright; And Satan trembles, when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees. 4 Have you no words? ah! think again: Words flow apace when you complain, And fill your fellow-creature’s ear With the sad tale of all your care. 5 Were half the breath thus vainly spent, To heaven in supplication sent, Your cheerful song would oftener be, "Hear what the Lord has done for me!"

The Lord, who truly knows

Hymnal: BW1867 #175 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Lord, who truly knows The heart of every saint, Invites us by His holy word To pray and never faint. 2 He bows His gracious ear; We never plead in vain; Yet we must wait till He appear, And pray, and pray again. 3 Though unbelief suggest, Why should we longer wait? He bids us never give Him rest, But be importunate. 4 'Twas thus a widow poor, Without support of friend, Bests the unjust judge's door, And gained at last her end. 5 And shall not Jesus hear His children when they cry? Yes, though He may awhile forbear, He'll not their suit deny. 6 Then let us earnest be, And never faint in prayer, He loves our importunity, And makes our cause His care.

There is an eye that never sleeps

Hymnal: BW1867 #176 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is an eye that never sleeps Beneath the wing of night; There is an ear that never shuts, When sink the beams of light. 2 There is an arm that never tires When human strength gives way: There is a love that never fails, When earthly love decays. 3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs; That arm upholds the sky; That ear is filled with angel songs; That love is throned on high. 4 But there's a power that man can wield When mortal aid is vain, That eye, that arm, that love to reach, That listening ear to gain. 5 That power is prayer, which soars on high, Through Jesus, to the throne; And moves the hand which moves the world, To bring salvation down!

Children of the heavenly King

Hymnal: BW1867 #177 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly King, As you journey, sweetly sing-- Sing your Saviour's worthy praise, Glorious in His works and ways. 2 Ye are traveling home to God, In the way the fathers trod; They are happy now, and ye Soon their happiness shall see. 3 Banished once, by sin betrayed, Christ your Advocate is made; Pardoned now, no more we roam, Christ conducts us to our roam. 4 Shout, ye little flock, and blest; You on Jesus' throne shall rest: There your seat is now prepared-- There your kingdom and reward. 5 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand On the borders of your land; Jesus Christ, your Father's Son, Bids you undismayed go on. 6 Lord, Lord, obediently we'll go, Gladly leaving all below; Only Thou our leader be, And we still will follow Thee.
