Breathing after Holiness

Appears in 386 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: O that the Lord would guide my ways Lyrics: 1 O that the Lord would guide my ways To keep his statutes still! O that my GOD would grant me grace To know and do his will! 2 O send thy Spirit down to write Thy law upon my heart! Nor let my tongue indulge deceit, Nor act the liar's part. 3 From vanity turn off my eyes; Let no corrupt design, Nor covetous desires arise Within this soul of mine. 4 Order my footsteps by thy word, And make my heart sincere; Let sin have no dominion, LORD, But keep my conscience clear. 5 Make me to walk in thy commands, 'Tis a delightful road; Nor let my head, or heart, or hands, Offend against my GOD. Scripture: Psalm 119

Pray without ceasing

My Soul thou hast a Friend on High; Arise and try thy Int'rest there. 4 If Pains afflict, or Wrongs oppress; If Cares distract, if Fears dismay; If Guilt deject, if Sin distress; Thy Remedy's before Thee, pray. 5 'Tis pray'r Supports the Soul that's weak; Tho' Thought be broken, Language lame, Pray; if thou can'st, or can'st not speak; But pray with Faith in Jesu's Name. 6 Depend on him; thou can'st not fail, Make all thy Wants and Wishes known; Fear not; his Merits must prevail; Ask what thou wilt, it shall be done. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Be thou for ever near; Teach me to love thy sacred word, And view my Saviour there.
