What a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge; Take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there. Amen. Scripture: Philippians 4:6 Used With Tune: ERIE

I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling; oh, let me seek thee, and oh, let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh, teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame -- the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

O Christ, the Healer

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Service Music Prayer Responses First Line: O Christ, the healer, we have come to pray for health Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, we have come to pray for health, to plead for friends. How can we fail to be restored when reached by love that never ends? 2 From every ailment flesh endures our bodies clamor to be freed; yet in our hearts we would confess that wholeness is our deepest need. 3 How strong, O Lord, are our desires, how weak our knowledge of ourselves! Release in us those healing truths unconscious pride resists or shelves. 4 In conflicts that destroy our health we recognize the world's disease; our common life declares our ills. Is there no cure, O Christ, for these? 5 Grant that we all, made one in faith, in your community may find the wholeness that, enriching us, shall reach the whole of humankind.

Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 859 hymnals Topics: Prayer; Christ--Intercessor; Humility; Prayer; Service music--Responses 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 sinner's voice, returning from his way, while angels in their songs rejoice and cry, "Behold, he prays!" 5 Prayer is the Christians' vital breath, the Christians' native air, his watchword at the gates of death; he enters heaven with prayer. 6 The saints in prayer appear as one in word, and deed, and mind, while with the Father and the Son sweet fellowship they find. 7 No prayer is made by us alone, the Holy Spirit pleads, and Jesus, on the eternal throne, for sinners intercedes. 8 O Christ, by whom we come to God, the life, the truth, the way! The path of prayer you also trod; Lord, teach us how to pray. Scripture: Psalm 6:9 Used With Tune: DUNFERMLINE
