Refrain: Go search it out and bring it home, No more in darkness let it roam; You’ll find it there in dreadful plight, Oh! go and bring it back tonight. 2 The ninety-nine are safe today, They’re all at home, so fully blest, But one is wand’ring far away, Upon the mountain’s snowy crest.

Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 856 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:10 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Unuttered or expressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 3 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways; While angels in their songs rejoice And cry, "Behold, he prays!" 4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air, His watchword at the gates of death: He enters heav'n with prayer. 5 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! Amen. Used With Tune: CAMPMEETING
