Jesu, our hope, our heart's desire

Author: John Chandler (1806-1876) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #686 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, our hope, our heart's desire, thy work of grace we sing; Redeemer of the world art thou, its Maker and its King. 2 How vast the mercy and the love which laid our sins on thee, and led thee to a cruel death, to set thy people free! 3 But now the bonds of death are burst, the ransom has been paid; and thou art on thy Father's throne, in glorious robes arrayed. 4 O may thy mighty love prevail our sinful souls to spare; O may we stand around thy throne, and see thy glory there. 5 Jesu, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be; in thee be all our glory now and through eternity. 6 All praise to thee who art gone up triumphantly to heaven; all praise to God the Father's name, and Holy Ghost be given.

Thou fount of living fire, surpassing all the joys we know, and all we can desire: 4 Jesus, may all confess thy name, thy wondrous love adore; and, seeking thee, themselves inflame to seek thee more and more. 5 Thee may our tongues for ever bless, thee may we love alone, and ever in our lives express the image of thine own. 6 Abide with us, and let thy light shine, Lord, on every heart; dispel the darkness of our night, and joy to all impart. 7 Jesus, our love and joy, to thee, the Father's only Son, all might, and praise, and glory be, while endless ages run.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #660 (1997) 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 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 to the way, while angel's in their songs rejoice, and cry, "Behold, they pray." 4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, the Christian's native air; our watchword at the gates of death, we enter heaven with prayer. 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.

Far from the world, O Lord, I flee

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Church Book #533 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Far from the world, O Lord, I flee, From strife and tumult far; From scenes where Satan wages still His most successful war. 2 The calm retreat, the silent shade, With prayer and praise agree; And seem by Thy sweet bounty made For those who follow Thee. 3 There, if Thy Spirit touch the soul, And grace her mean abode, O with what peace, and joy, and love, She communes with her God! 4 There, like the nightingale, she pours Her solitary lays; Nor asks a witness of her song, Nor thirsts for human praise. 5 Author and Guardian of my life, Sweet Source of light divine, And, all harmonious names in one, My Saviour,--Thou art mine! 6 What thanks I owe Thee, and what love, A boundless, endless store, Shall echo through the realms above When time shall be no more!
