Prayer is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: Rev. James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 859 hymnals Topics: Nearness to God 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 Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air, His watchword at the gates of death; He enters heaven with prayer. 4 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice, And cry, "Behold, he prays!" 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.

We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care?– Precious Savior, still our refuge!– Take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In His arms He'll take and shield thee; Thou wilt find a solace there. Used With Tune: CONVERSE (ERIE)

O Lord of Hosts, to Thee I Cry

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Nearness to God Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, to Thee I cry, Our fathers' God, to Thee; Let my petitions reach Thy ear, My prayer accepted be. O God our shield, look Thou on us, Reveal Thyself in grace, And let Thy own anointed one Behold Thee face to face. 2 A single day within Thy courts, Where I Thy beauty see, Is better than a thousand days, My God, apart from Thee. A lowly station in Thy house Were dearer to my heart Than in the tents of wickedness To claim the chiefest part. 3 A sun and shield is God, the Lord, To lighten and defend; The Lord to such as look to Him Will grace and glory send, To those that walk in righteousness No good will He deny. The Lord of hosts, how blest are they Who on Thy grace rely! Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: AUDITE AUDIENTES ME
