Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnbook #391 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Romans 8:26 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,

The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.

The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near.

Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice
And cry, "Behold, he prays!"

The Christian's native air,
His watchword at the gates of death;
He enters heaven with prayer.

The Life, the Truth, the Way;

with grief and shame weighed down,
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, thine only crown:
O sacred head, what glory,
what bliss till now was thine;
yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call thee mine.
2 What thou, my Lord, hast suffered
was all for sinners’ gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
’Tis I deserve thy place;
look on me with thy favor,
and grant to me thy grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
to thank thee, dearest friend,
for this thy dying sorrow,
thy pity without end?
O make me thine forever;
and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
outlive my love to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: PASSION CHORALE

Hail, O Once-Despised Jesus
Author: John Bakewell Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #395 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Romans 8 Lyrics: 1 Hail, O once-despised Jesus!
Hail, O Galilean King!
You have suffered to release us,
hope and joy and peace to bring.
Hail, O agonizing Savior,
bearer of our sin and shame;
by your merits we find favor;
life is given through your name.
2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
all our sins on you were laid;
by almighty love anointed,
you have full atonement made.
All your people are forgiven
through the virtue of your blood;
opened is the gate of heaven;
we are reconciled to God.
3 Jesus! Heavenly hosts adore you,
seated at your Father's side.
Crucified this world once saw you;
now in glory you abide.
There for sinners you are pleading,
and our place you now prepare,
ever for us interceding,
till in glory we appear.
4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing
you are worthy to receive;
loudest praises, without ceasing,
right it is for us to give.
Help, O bright angelic spirits,
all your noblest anthems raise;
help to sing our Savior's merits,
help to chant Immanuel's praise.
