Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #492 (1989) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 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 contrite sinners' voice, returning from their way, while angels in their songs rejoice and cry, "Behold, they pray!" 5. Prayer is the Christians' vital breath, the Christians' native air; their watchword at the gates of death; they enter heaven with prayer. 6. 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!

Happy the Man to Whom His God

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2134 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Happy the man to whom his God No more imputes his sin, But, washed in the Redeemer’s blood, Hath made his garments clean! 2. Happy beyond expression he Whose debts are thus discharged; And from the guilty bondage free, He feels his soul enlarged. 3. His spirit hates deceit and lies, His words are all sincere; He guards his heart, he guards his eyes, To keep his conscience clear. 4. While I my inward guilt suppressed, No quiet I could find; Thy wrath lay burning in my breast, And racked my tortured mind. 5. Then I confessed my troubled thoughts, My secret sins revealed; Thy pardoning grace forgave my faults, Thy grace my pardon sealed. 6. This shall invite Thy saints to pray; When like a raging flood Temptations rise, our strength and stay Is a forgiving God. Languages: English Tune Title: CAMPMEETING

Thus Saith the Lord, "Your Work Is Vain"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6718 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Thus saith the Lord, Your work is vain, Give your burnt offerings o’er; In dying goats, and bullocks slain, My soul delights no more. 2. Then spake the Savior, “Lo, I’m here, My God, to do Thy will; Whate’er Thy sacred books declare, Thy Servant shall fulfill. 3. Thy law is ever in My sight, I keep it near My heart; Mine ears are opened with delight, To what Thy lips impart. 4. And see, the blessed Redeemer comes, Th’eternal Son appears, And at th’appointed time assumes The body God prepares. 5. Much He revealed His Father’s grace, And much His truth He showed, And preached the way of righteousness Where great assemblies stood. 6. His Father’s honor touched His heart, He pitied sinners’ cries, And, to fulfill a Savior’s part, Was made a sacrifice. 7. No blood of beasts on altars shed Could wash the conscience clean; But the rich sacrifice He paid Atones for all our sin. 8. Then was the great salvation spread, And Satan’s kingdom shook; Thus by the woman’s promised seed The serpent’s head was broke. Languages: English Tune Title: CAMPMEETING
