Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a215 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Catechism Prayer Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed, 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 an 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 Christians' vital breath, The Christians' native air; His watch-word at the gate 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 say, "Behold, he prays."

To Thee, O Lord, will I sing praises

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a216 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Prayer Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O Lord, will I sing praises, For where is found a glorious God like Thee? To Thee my heart its anthem raises, O give Thy quick'ning Spirit's aid to me, That I may sing in Jesus' name alone, In strains which find acceptance at Thy throne. 2 To Thy dear Son, O Father, lead me, That He again to Thee may lead my soul; Thy Spirit in green pastures feed me, And all my powers of heart and mind control, That I may sing in praise of Thee, and never cease. 3 Grant me, O Lord, this priceless treasure, Then shall my humble worship grateful be; Then beautiful will be the measure With which in heart and truth I worship Thee; Then near to Thee Thy Spirit shall me bring, And I a worthy psalm of praise shall sing. 4 For He can intercede with groanings, Which my poor tongue is powerless to express; He comes to soothe my cheerless moanings, And with the prayer of faith my soul to bless: Makes me joint-heir with Christ of wealth on high, And bids me ever, Abba, Father! cry. 5 Thine eye with tenderness beholds me, When by the Spirit's power my cry ascends; Thine arm with gentleness enfolds me, And all Thy love to meet and bless me bends, E'er ready all my wishes to fulfill, Which upward rise according to Thy will. 6 And what to ask Thy Spirit teaches, Must ever with Thy holy will accord; My soul in Jesus' name beseeches, And therefore wilt Thou every gift afford; I am in Him Thine own dear child and heir, And grace for grace receive to crown my prayer. 7 How richly this assurance blesses! With comfort, peace, and joy, it fills my heart; I know that Thou whom faith addresses, Each needful gift wilt graciously impart, And more than I can ask or understand Thou shower'st me more than I can ask or understand 8 I ask in Jesus' name, believing, Who ever intercede in heaven for me; Through Him each perfect gift receiving, In whom is Yea whate'er I ask of Thee: How blest am I! my soul forever bless The name of Him who grants such happiness!

Our Father dear, who art in heaven

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a217 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Prayer Lyrics: 1 Our Father dear, who art in heaven, And hast to us commandment given, That we should pray and call on Thee As members of one family, Grant that our prayers be not mere sound, But breathings from the heart's deep ground. 2 Thy name be hallowed! help us, Lord, To keep in purity Thy Word, That we may live as Christians ought, Holy in word and deed and thought; Keep us, O Lord, from all false lore, And those who err, to truth restore. 3 Thy kingdom come, O Lord, in power, Both at this time and evermore; And let the Holy Ghost be nigh, His gifts and graces to supply; Break Satan's power, defeat his rage, Preserve the Church, Thine heritage. 4 Thy will be done, Lord God, in love, On earth, as 'tis in heaven above; Patience in tie of grief bestow, Obedience in all weal and woe; Curb flesh and blood, or any ill, That sets itself against Thy will. 5 Give us our daily bread this day, For needful things alone we pray; From war and strife be our defense, From famine and from pestilence; That we may live in godly peace, Free from all care and avarice. 6 Forgive our sins, the burden sore Remove, that it afflict no more, As we will also those forgive Who by offenses us may grieve. Make us delight in serving Thee In perfect love and unity. 7 Into temptation lead us not, When Satan doth against us plot; Upon the left hand and the right O help us valiantly to fight, Fimr in the faith, a well-armed host, Through comfort of the Holy Ghost. 8 From evil, Lord, deliver us, The times and days are perilous; O save us from eternal death, And comfort us in our last breath; Grant us a blessed end, and take Our souls to Thee for Jesus' sake. 9 Amen, Amen: so shall it be! Confirm our faith continually, So that we firmly may believe What we here ask we shall receive, Since in Thy name, and at Thy Word, We pray to Thee. Amen, O Lord. Languages: English

Heavenly Father, Jesus taught us

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a219 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Prayer Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, Jesus taught us Trustingly to call Thee ours; Lovingly Thy mercy sought us Early in life's tender hours. Thou from Satan's realm hast saved us, Hast adopted us Thine own; In baptismal water laved us, Given us a fadeless crown. 2 Heavenly Father, Jesus taught us Thus to call Thee, in His Name; His enduring merits wrought us Graciously this childhood's claim: Then with 'Abba, Father!' come we, Place us wholly in Thy care; O, let naught e'er wrest us from Thee! Heed and hear Thy children's prayer. 3 Heavenly Father, Jesus taught us That, where Thou art, we shall be; Hence the Holy Spirit brought us Unto childlike faith in Thee. In Thy house are mansions spacious, For the many ransomed blest! Take us then, O Father gracious! There are home, sweet peace, and rest. Languages: English

To Jordan came our Lord, the Christ

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a220 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Holy Baptism Lyrics: 1 To Jordan came our Lord, the Christ, To do God’s pleasure willing, And there was by St. John baptized, All righteousness fulfilling; There did He consecrate a bath To wash away transgression, And quench the bitterness of death By His own blood and passion; He would a new life give us. 2 So hear ye all and well perceive What God doth call Baptism, And what a Christian should believe Who error shuns and schism: That we should water use, the Lord Declareth it His pleasure; Not simple water, but the Word And Spirit without measure; He is the real Baptizer. 3 To show us this He hath His Word With signs and symbols given; On Jordan’s banks was plainly heard The Father’s voice from heaven: "This is My well-beloved Son, In whom My soul delighteth; Hear Him." Yea, hear Him, every one When He Himself inviteth, Hear and obey His teaching. 4 In tender manhood God the Son In Jordan's water standeth; The Holy Ghost from His own throne In dove-like form descendeth; That thus the truth be not denied,-- Nor should our faith e’er waver,-- That the Three Persons e'er preside, At Baptism’s holy laver, And dwell with the believer. 5 Thus Jesus His disciples sent: Go teach ye every nation, That lost in sin they must repent; And flee from condemnation: He that believes and is baptized Shall thereby have salvation; A new-born man he is in Christ, Is safe from condemnation, And shall inherit heaven. 6 Who in this mercy hath not faith, Nor aught therein discerneth, Is yet in sin, condemned to death, And fire that ever burneth; His holiness avails him not, Nor aught which he is doing; His birth-sin brings all to naught, And maketh sure his ruin; Himself he cannot succor. 7 Blind sense but water sees, and spurns: "Pray, how can water save us?" Faith marks the Word, and well discerns Christ's merits that here lave us; Faith sees this cleansing fountain red With, both from sin inherited From fallen Adam frees us, And sins we have committed.

Now Christ, the very Son of God

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a221 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Catechism Holy Baptism Lyrics: 1 Now Christ, the very Son of God, On sinners sends another flood; It is the water which the Lord Has comprehended in the Word. 2 This flood, to cleanse sins's leprosy, Mere eathly water cannot be; But water and God's gracious Word Conjoined, this saving bath afford. 3 Go ye, says Christ, My Word proclaim, Baptise the nations in God's name: All who are baptized and believe My full salvation shall receive. 4 God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, To be baptized invites the host. He will be present, though unseen, From all our sins to wash them clean. 5 So too, by our repentance, must The old man, with his sins and lust, Be daily drowned, and then arise A new man, righteous, pure, and wise. 6 That by the water and the Word We're born again, we thank Thee, Lord! In life and death Thine let us be, And Thine in all eternity Languages: English

Dearest Jesus! we are here

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a222 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Holy Baptism Lyrics: 1 Dearest Jesus! we are here, On Thy tender grace relying, See an infant child draw near, With Thy good behest complying: Children must to Christ be given, For they are the heirs of heaven. 2 This assurance, night and morn, In our ears re-echoes ever, Who are not of water born And the Spirit, pure are never, Ne'er can claim the Savior's merit, Ne'er His kingdom shall inherit. 3 Therefore hasten we to Thee, From our arms the pledge be taken, Show Thy mercy large and free, Be this infant not forsaken, May compassion, mild and tender, Thine this child forever render. 4 Wash it, Jesus! in Thy blood, From the sin-stain of its nature, Let it rise from out this flood Clothed in Thee, a newborn creature; May it, washed as Thou hast bidden, In thine innocence be hidden. 5 Turn the darkness into light, Change Thy wrath to gracious favor, Heal the serpent's cruel bite, By this wonder-working laver; Here let flow a Jordan river, And from leprosy deliver. 6 Shepherd! not Thy Lamb protect, Head! Thy member kindly make it, Way of Heaven! its path direct, Prince of Peace! to peace awake it, Vine! O may this branch, believing, Ever live, Thy life receiving! 7 Now into Thy heart we pour Prayers that from our hearts proceeded; May our sighings heavenward soar, May our warm desires be heeded; May the name which we have given Be recorded high in heaven.

At Jesus' feet our infant sweet

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a223 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Holy Baptism Lyrics: 1 At Jesus' feet our infant sweet We lay with all its stain, That renders it for heaven unmeet Until 'tis born again. We here embrace His proffered grace In this baptismal wave, Nor shall the world our trust efface-- The bath its soul will save. 2 We fail to see the Holy Three Concealed the font within, Mere water seems the mystery That cleanses us from sin; But who may tell what virtues dwell Through God's Word in that flood; Or who the simple faith repel That owns it Jesus' blood? 3 We bring our child by sin defiled, Then, dearest Lord! to Thee, Here clothe it in Thy nature mild, From sin here make it free; And buried here in death severe, To new life may it rise, And trained for Thee, with Thee appear Immortal in the skies.

God, in human flesh appearing

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a224 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Holy Baptism Lyrics: 1 God, in human flesh appearing, Took the children to His breast, Lambs with His green pastures cheering, Fitting for His heavenly rest; This is gentleness unbounded, This is lowliness of heart; All are by His love surrounded, None are ever bid depart. 2 Lord! I bless Thy mercy endless, For Thy pleasure is to bless; Me too, when my soul was friendless, Thou didst to Thy bosom press: For I, too, to Thee was given In the pure baptismal wave, There Thou mad'st me heir of heaven, Who hast died my soul to save. 3 Feeble is the love of mother, Father's blessings are as naught, When compared, my King and Brother, With the wonders Thou hast wrought; Thus it pleased Thy heavenly meekness; Pleasing also be my praise, Till my songs of earthly weakness Burst into celestial lays.
