Consolation

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Let me not wander comfortless Lyrics: Let me not wander comfortless, My Father, far from Thee; But still beneath Thy guardian wing In holy quiet be. The storms of grief, the tears of woe, Soothed by Thy love, shall cease; And all the trembling spirit breathe A deep, unbroken peace. The power of prayer shall o’er me shed A deep, celestial calm; More soft than evening’s twilight dews, My soul shall feel its balm. For there Thy still, small voice shall speak Thy great, Thy boundless love; And tears and smiles, and grief and joy, Shall lift my soul above.

Lord, Teach Us How to Pray Aright

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 225 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright with reverence and with fear; though weak and sinful in your sight, we may, we must draw near. 2 We perish if we cease from prayer; O grant us power to pray; and when to meet you we prepare, Lord, meet us by the way. 3 O God of love, before your face we come with contrite heart to ask from you these gifts of grace-- truth in the inward part: 4 Faith in the only sacrifice that can for sin atone; to found our hopes, to fix our eyes, on Christ, and Christ alone: 5 Patience to watch, and weep and wait, whatever you may send; courage that will not hesitate to trust you to the end. 6 Give these, and then your will be done; thus, strengthened with all might, we through your Spirit and your Son, shall pray, and pray aright.
