Author: Jemima T. Luke Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #190 (1990) Meter: 11.8.12.9 Scripture: Luke 18:16 Lyrics: 1 I think when I read that sweet story of old, when Jesus was here among men, how he called little children as lambs to his fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, that his arm had been thrown around me, and that I might have seen his kind look when he said, "Let the little ones come unto me." 3 Yet still to his footstool in prayer I may go, and ask for a share in his love; and if I now earnestly seek him below, I shall see him and hear him above; 4 In that beautiful place he has gone to prepare for all who are washed and forgiv'n; and many dear children are gathering there, for of such is the kingdom of heav'n.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #488 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Luke 18:1 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 contrite sinner's voice, returning from his ways, while angels in their songs rejoice, and cry: behold he prays! 5 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, the Christian's native air, his watchword at the gates of death: he enters 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.! Topics: General Hymns Prayer and Penitence Languages: English Tune Title: BEDFORD (Isometric)

Can my God his wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare? 2 I have long withstood his grace; Long provoked him to his face; Would not hearken to his calls; Grieved him by a thousand falls. 3 Kindled his relentings are; Me he now delights to spare; Cries, How shall I give thee up?-- Lets the lifted thunder drop. 4 There for me the Saviour stands; Show his wounds and spreads his hands! God is love! I know, I feel: Jesus weeps, and loves me still.

Show pity Lord--O Lord, forgive

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #399 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Luke 18:13 Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord--O Lord, forgive; Let a repenting rebel live. Are not thy mercies large and free? May not a sinner trust in thee? 2 My crimes are great, but don't surpass The power and glory of thy grace; Great God, thy nature hath no bound-- So let thy pardoning love be found. 3 Oh, wash my soul from every sin, And make my guilty conscience clean; Here on my heart the burden lies, And past offences pain my eyes. 4 My lips with shame my sins confess, Against thy law, against thy grace; Lord, should thy judgments grow severe, I am condemned, but thou art clear. 5 Should sudden vengeance seize my breath, I must pronounce thee just, in death; And if my soul were sent to hell, Thy righteous law approves it well. 6 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord, Whose hope, still hov'ring round thy word, Would light on some sweet promise there-- Some sure support against despair.
