Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Author: J. Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 856 hymnals 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 Used With Tune: [Prayer is the soul's sincere desire]

Savior, when in dust to Thee

Author: Sir Robert Grant Appears in 445 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Savior, when in dust to Thee Low we bow the adoring knee; When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our weeping eyes; O by all Thy pains and woe Suffered once for man below, Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany! 2 By Thy helpless infant years, By Thy life of want and tears, By Thy days of sore distress In the savage wilderness; By the dread, mysterious hour Of the insulting tempter's power; Turn, O turn, a favoring eye, Hear our solemn litany! 3 By thine hour of dire despair, By thine agony of prayer; By the cross, the nail, the thorn, Piercing spear, and torturing scorn; By the gloom that veiled the skies O'er the dreadful sacrifice; Listen to our humble cry; Hear our solemn litany! 4 By Thy deep expiring groan, By the sad sepulchral stone; By the vault whose dark abode Held in vain the rising God; O from earth to heaven restored, Mighty, re-ascended Lord, Listen, listen to the cry, Hear our solemn litany!

Toke Appears in 141 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art gone up on high To mansions in the skies; And round Thy throne unceasingly The songs of praise arise: But we are lingering here, With sin and care oppressed; Lord, send Thy promised Comforter, And lead us to Thy rest. 2 Thou art gone up on high; But Thou didst first come down, Through earth's most bitter misery, To pass unto Thy crown; And girt with griefs and fears Our onward course must be; But only let that path of tears Lead us at last to Thee. 3 Thou art gone up on high; But Thou shalt come again, With all the bright ones of the sky Attendant in Thy train. O by Thy saving power, So make us live and die, That we may stand in that dread hour At Thy right hand on high.

God unto men draweth near, Bringing to lost ones salvation. 2 Triumph, ye heavens! rejoice, O ye nations and wonder! God and the sinner no power of the devil may sunder. "Peace and good-will!" Hark! it is echoing still, Silencing Sinai's thunder! 3 God in man’s nature! O mystery past comprehending! Now is the temple thrown wide and the incense ascending! Christ is the way! We who were once far away, Now at His footstool are bending. 4 Hast Thou, O Holy One, deigned of my need to be thinking? Chosen me, called me, the waters of life to be drinking? Shall not my mind Fullness of blessing here find, Deep in humility sinking? 5 King of all glory! what grace in Thy humiliation! Thou wert a child who of old wert the Lord of creation! Thee will I own, thee would I follow alone, Heir of Thy wondrous salvation. 6 Faithful Immanuel! let me Thy glories be telling; Ever, my Savior, be Thou in mine inmost heart dwelling. With me abide; Teach me to stay at Thy side, Where the love-fountain is welling. 7 Friend of the sinner! Lord Jesus! my spirit is soaring Where Thou art throned, on Thy head the sweet spikenard still pouring. Take me above, There will I sing of Thy love, Ever Thy person adoring.

O would, my God, that I could praise Thee

Author: J. Mentzer Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O would, my God, that I could praise Thee With thousand tongues, by day and night! How many a song my lips should raise Thee, Who order'st all things here aright! My thankful heart would ever be Telling what God hath done for me. 2 O all ye powers that He implanted, Arise, keep silence thus no more, Put forth the strength that He hath granted, Your noblest work is to adore; O soul and body, make ye meet With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet. 3 Ye forest leaves so green and tender, That dance for joy in summer air; Ye meadow-grasses bright and slender, Ye flowers so wondrous sweet and fair; Ye live to show His praise alone, Help me to make His glory known. 4 O all things that have breath and motion; That throng with life, earth, sea, and sky, Now join me in my heart's devotion, Help me to raise His praises high. My utmost powers can ne'er aright Declare the wonders of His might. 5 But I will tell, while I am living, His goodness forth with every breath, And greet each morning with thanksgiving, Until my heart is still in death. Nay, when at last my lips grow cold, His praise shall in my sighs be told. O Father, deign Thou, I beseech Thee, To listen to my earthly lays; A nobler strain in heaven shall reach Thee, When I with angels hymn Thy praise, And learn amid their choirs to sing Loud Hallelujahs to my King.

Monsell Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living harvest, That whitens o'er the plain, Where angels soon shall gather Their sheaves of golden grain, Accept these hands to labor, These hearts to trust and love, And deign with them to hasten Thy kingdom from above. 2 As laborers in Thy vineyard, Send us, O Christ, to be Content to bear the burden Of weary days for Thee; We ask no other wages, When Thou shalt call us home, But to have shared Thy travail And see Thy kingdom come. 3 Come down, Thou Holy Spirit, And fill our souls with light; Clothe us in spotless raiment, In linen clean and white; Within Thy sacred temple Be with us, where we stand, And sanctify Thy people Throughout this happy land. 4 Be with us, God the Father, Be with us, God the Son, Be with us, God the Spirit, O blessed Three in One! Make us a royal priesthood, Thee rightly to adore, And fill us with Thy fullness, Now, and for evermore.
