Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus

Author: Ludämilie Elisabeth of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt Hymnal: LHPN1913 #353 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus, Can my heartfelt longing still; See, I pledge myself to Jesus, What He wills, alone to will. For my heart, which He hath filled, Ever cries: Lord, as Thou wilt. 2 One there is for whom I'm living, Whom I love most tenderly; Jesus, unto whom I'm given, What in love He gave to me, Jesus' blood hides all my guilt; Lead me, Lord, then, as Thou wilt. 3 Seems a thing to me a treasure, Which displeasing is to Thee, Then remove such dangerous pleasure; Give instead what profits me. Let my heart by Thee be stilled, Make me Thine, Lord, as Thou wilt. 4 Grant that I may e'er endeavor Thy good pleasure to fulfill, In me, through me, with me ever, Lord, accomplish Thou Thy will. Let me die, Lord, On Thee built, When, and where, and as Thou wilt. 5 Lord, my praise shall be unceasing, For Thou gav'st Thyself to me, And besides so many a blessing That I now sing joyfully: Be it unto me, my shield, As Thou wilt, Lord, as Thou wilt.

O Thou, who dost accord us

Author: Anon. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #356 (1913) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who dost accord us The highest prize and guerdon, Thou hope of all our race, Jesus, do Thou afford us The gift we ask of pardon For all who humbly seek thy face. 2 With whispered accusation Our conscience tells of sinning In thought, and word, and deed; Thine is our restoration, The work of grace beginning For souls from every burden freed. 3 For who, if Thou reject us, Shall raise the fainting spirit? 'Tis thine alone to spare:' If Thou to life elect us, With cleanséd hearts to near it, Shall be our task, our lowly prayer. 4 O Trinity most glorious, Thy pardon free bestowing, Defend us evermore; That in Thy courts victorious, Thy love more truly knowing, We may with all Thy saints adore.

Arise, my soul, arise

Hymnal: LHPN1913 #357 (1913) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, arise, Shake off thy guilty fears; The bleeding Sacrifice In my behalf appears; Before the throne my Surety stands, My name is written on His hands. 2 He ever lives above, For me to intercede; His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead; His blood atoned for all our race, And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 3 Five bleeding wounds He bears, Received on Calvary; They pour effectual prayers, They strongly speak for me; Forgive him, O forgive, the cry, Nor let that ransomed sinner die! 4 The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One; He cannot turn away The presence of his Son; His Spirit answers to the blood, And tells me I am born of God. 5 My God is reconciled, His pardoning voice I hear: He owns me for His child, I can no longer fear; With confidence I now draw nigh, And "Father, Abba Father!" cry.

Jehovah, let me now adore Thee

Author: B. Crasselius Hymnal: LHPN1913 #358 (1913) Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, let me now adore Thee, For where is there a God, such, Lord, as Thou? With songs I fain would come before Thee; O let Thy Spirit deign to touch me now To praise Thee in His name, through whom alone Our songs can please Thee, through Thy blessed Son. 2 Yes, draw me to the Son, O Father, That so the Son may draw me up to Thee. Let every power within me gather, To own Thy sway, O Spirit--rule in me, That so the peace of God may in me dwell, And I may sing for joy and praise Thee well. 3 Grant me Thy Spirit; then my praises Will sound aright, no jarring tone or word; Sweet are the songs the heart then raises, Then I can pray in truth and spirit, Lord; Thy Spirit bears mine up on eagles' wing, To join the psalms the heavenly choirs now sing. 4 For He can plead for me with sighings That are unutterable to lips like mine; He bids me pray with earnest cryings, Bears witness with my soul that I am Thine, Co-heir with Christ, and thus may dare to say, O Abba, Father, hear me when I pray. 5 When thus Thy Spirit in me burneth, And makes this cry to break from out my heart, Thy heart, O Father, toward me yearneth, And longs all precious blessings to impart, Thy ready love rejoiceth to fulfill The prayer breathed out according to Thy will. 6 And what Thy Spirit thus hath taught me To seek from Thee, must needs be such a prayer As Thou wilt grant, through Him who bought me, And raised me up to be Thy child and heir; In Jesus' name I fearless seek Thy face, And take from Thee, my Father, grace for grace. 7 O joy, our hope and trust are founded On His sure Word, and witness in the heart; I know Thy mercies are unbounded, And all good gifts Thou freely wilt impart, Nay, more is lavished by Thy bounteous hand, Than we can ask or seek or understand. 8 O joy! In His name we draw near Thee, Who ever pleadeth for the sons of men; I ask in faith and Thou wilt hear me, In Him Thy promises are all Amen. O joy for me! and praise be ever Thine, Whose wondrous love has made such blessings mine!

Our Father, Thou in heaven above

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: LHPN1913 #359 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Our Father, Thou in heaven above, Who biddest us to dwell in love, As brethren of one family, And cry for all we need to Thee; Teach us to mean the words we say, And from the inmost heart to pray. 2 All hallowed be Thy name, O Lord! O let us firmly keep Thy Word, And lead, according to Thy name, A holy life, untouched by blame; Let no false teachings do us hurt-- All poor deluded souls convert. 3 Thy kingdom come! Thine let it be In time and in eternity! O let Thy Holy Spirit dwell With us, to rule and guide us well; From Satan's mighty power and rage Preserve Thy Church from age to age. 4 Thy will be done on earth, O Lord, As where in heaven Thou art adored! Patience in time of grief bestow, Obedience true in weal and woe; Our sinful flesh and blood control That thwart Thy will within the soul. 5 Give us this day our daily bread, Let us be duly clothed and fed; And keep Thou from our homes afar Famine and pestilence and war, That we may live in godly peace Unvexed by cares and avarice. 6 Forgive our sins, that they no more May grieve and haunt us as before, As we forgive their trespasses Who unto us have done amiss; Thus let us dwell in charity And serve each other willingly. 7 Into temptation lead us not. And when the foe doth war and plot Against our souls on every hand, Then armed with faith, O may we stand Against him as a valiant host Through comfort of the Holy Ghost. 8 Deliverance from all evil give, And yet in evil days we live; Redeem us from eternal death, And when we yield our dying breath, Console us, grant us calm release, And take our souls to Thee in peace. 9 Amen! That is, So let it be! Strengthen our faith and trust in Thee, That we may doubt not, but believe, That what we ask we shall receive; Thus in Thy name and at Thy word We say: Amen; Now hear us, Lord.

Lord, teach us how to pray aright

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: LHPN1913 #360 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright, With reverence and with fear; Though dust and ashes in Thy sight, We may, we must draw near. 2 Burdened with guilt, convinced of sin, In weakness, want, and woe, Fightings without and fears within, Lord, whither shall we go? 3 God of all grace, we come to Thee With broken, contrite hearts; Give what Thine eye delights to see, Truth in the inward parts. 4 Give deep humility; the sense Of godly sorrow give; A strong desire, with confidence, To hear Thy voice and live; 5 Faith in the only sacrifice That can for sin atone; To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes, On Christ, on Christ alone. 6 Give these, and then Thy will be done; Thus strenghened with all might, We, through Thy Spirit and Thy Son, Shall pray, and pray aright.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: LHPN1913 #361 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of the 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 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. Topics: The Church Year Ascension; The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Easter Tune Title: [Prayer is the soul's sincere desire]

O earth, adore thy glorious King; His rising, His ascension sing With grateful adoration! 3 By saints in earth and saints in heaven, With songs for ever blended, All praise to Christ, our King, be given, Who hath to heaven ascended; To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God of heaven's resplendent host In bright array extended!
