Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 850 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 simplest form of speech that infant lips can try; prayer the sublimest strains that reach the Majesty on high. 3 Prayer is the contrite sinners' voice, returning from their way, while angels in their songs rejoice and cry, "Behold, they pray!" 4 Prayer is the Christians' vital breath, the Christians' native air, their watchword at the gates of death; they enter heaven with prayer. 5 O Christ, by whom we come to God, the Life, the Truth, the Way, the path of prayer You also trod; Lord, teach us how to pray!

Again The Christmas Board Is Spread

Author: John W. Chadwick Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Again the Christmas board is spread, Again we gather round; And thanks too deep for words go up To God without a sound. 2 Thanks for the common blessings first, The commonest of all, The daily bread, the manna sweet, That never fails to fall. 3 The daily bread, the daily joy, The greeting morn and eve, The kiss of love, the kiss of peace, Which daily we receive. 4 And if with all the joy He sends Some grief is also there, We praise Him still that He doth give The patience that can bear. 5 Can bear, and through the bearing find Within the hardest lot, Some hidden grace which none may know Save those who have it got. 6 But shall this merry time go past, And thanks remain unsped For Him who said so long ago, I am the living Bread? 7 For Him, star-lit by Mary’s smile, Whom simple shepherds found, And wise men from the brooding East, Where oxen stood around? 8 No wonder that they worshipped Him! He was a baby sweet; They had been foolish not to kneel And kiss His rosy feet. 9 But little recked they as He lay In such a lowly place, That He should be the Man of men, The captain of His race. 10 We differ when we speak of Him, Our words are not the same, But in our hearts there burns for aye, One undivided flame. 11 Our words must differ, but our hearts Still yield Him reverence due; We love in spite of all our creeds; Our love at least is true. 12 And if, above the starry skies, He knows of what is here, He knows there is a place for Him At all our Christmas cheer.
