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 Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air; His watchword at the gates of death: He enters heav'n 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. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer Used With Tune: EVAN

The Lord our God is clothed with might, The winds obey His will; He speaks, and in His heavenly height, He speaks, and in His heavenly height, The rolling sun stands still. 2. Rebel, ye waves, and o’er the land With threatening aspect roar; The Lord uplifts His awful hand, The Lord uplifts His awful hand, And chains you to the shore. 3. Ye winds of night, your force combine; Without His high behest, Ye shall not, in the mountain pine, Ye shall not, in the mountain pine, Disturb the sparrow’s rest. 4. His voice sublime is heard afar; In distant peals it dies; He yokes the whirlwind to His car, He yokes the whirlwind to His car, And sweeps the howling skies. 5. Ye nations, bend, in reverence bend; Ye monarchs, wait His nod; And bid the choral song ascend And bid the choral song ascend To celebrate our God. Used With Tune: TAPPAN

Let wilful sinners boast and say

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let wilful sinners boast and say, The Lord will never come: We need not fear a future day, Or wait a fearful doom. 2 The things wherof we have been told That they should come to pass; Are now just as they were of old, And will forever last. 3 For, since the fathers fell asleep, The world has took no change; Should God our crimes in mem'ry keep, That would be very strange. 4 Just so it was, before the flood, Tho' men had long been warn'd; They still despis'd the threats of God! And lived unconcern'd. 5 When long they had despis'd his grace; At last they found it true; When suddenly a change took place, Which prov'd their overthrow. 6 The righteous judgments of the Lord, At his appointed times; Proves daring sinners' just reward For all their guilt and crimes. Topics: 27th Sunday after Trinity Scripture: 2 Peter 3:3-13

My vile ingratitude I mourn; O take the wanderer home. 3. And canst Thou, wilt Thou yet forgive, And bid my crimes remove? And shall a pardoned rebel live To speak Thy wondrous love? 4. Almighty grace, thy healing power How glorious, how divine! That can to bliss and life restore So vile a heart as mine. 5. Thy pardoning love, so free, so sweet, Dear Savior, I adore; O keep me at Thy sacred feet, And let me rove no more.

Mortals Awake, with Angels Join

Author: Samuel Medley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 325 hymnals First Line: Mortals, awake, with angels join Lyrics: 1. Mortals, awake, with angels join, And chant the solemn lay, Joy, love, and gratitude combine, To hail the auspicious day, To hail the auspicious day. 2. In Heav’n the rapturous song began, And sweet seraphic fire Through all the shining legions ran, And strung and tuned the lyre, And strung and tuned the lyre. 3. Swift through the vast expanse it flew, And loud the echo rolled, The theme, the song, the joy, was new— ’Twas more than Heav’n could hold, ’Twas more than Heav’n could hold. 4. Down through the portals of the sky The impetuous torrent ran; And angels flew, with eager joy, To bear the news to man, To bear the news to man. 5. Hark! the cherubic armies shout, And glory leads the song: Good will and peace are heard throughout The harmonious heav’nly throng, The harmonious heav’nly throng. 6. With joy the chorus we repeat, Glory to God on high! Good will and peace are now complete, Jesus was born to die, Jesus was born to die. 7. Hail, Prince of Life, forever hail! Redeemer, Brother, Friend! Though earth, and time, and life shall fail Thy praise shall never end, Thy praise shall never end. Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS
