O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #16 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: James 5:7-8 Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home. 2 Under the shadow of your throne your saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood or earth received her frame, from everlasting you are God, to endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in your sight are like an evening gone, short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears all of us away; we fly, forgotten, as a dream dies at the op’ning day. 6 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, be now our guard while life shall last, and our eternal home!

Prayer Is the Soul’s Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery, 1771–1854 Hymnal: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #145 (1985) Scripture: James 5:16 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 Christian’s vital breath, The Christian’s native air, His watchword at the gates of death; He enters heav’n with prayer. 5. Prayer is the contrite sinner’s voice, Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice And cry, “Behold, he prays!” 6. The Saints in prayer appear as one In word and deed and mind, While with the Father and the Son Their fellowship they find. 7. Nor prayer is made on earth alone: The Holy Spirit pleads, And Jesus at the Father’s throne For sinners intercedes. 8. 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: Prayer; Prayer and Supplication; Repentance; Unity Languages: English Tune Title: PRAYER
