Sweet was the time when first I felt

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 343 hymnals Topics: Self-Examination Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt The Saviour's pardoning blood Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt, And bring me home to God. 2 Soon as the morn the light reveal'd, His praises tuned my tongue; And when the evening shades prevail'd, His love was all my song. 3 In prayer, my soul drew near the Lord, And saw His glory shine; And, when I read His holy word, I call'd each promise mine. 4 Now when the evening shade prevails, My soul in darkness mourns; And when the morn the light reveals, No light to me returns. 5 Now Satan threatens to prevail, And make my soul his prey; Yet, Lord, Thy mercies cannot fail, Oh, come without delay!

Lord, Teach Us How to Pray Aright

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 225 hymnals Topics: Self-Examination Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright with rev'rence and with fear; though dust and ashes in your sight, we may, we must draw near. 2 O God of grace we come to you with broken, contrite hearts; give what your eye delights to view, truth in the inward parts. 3 Give deep humility; the sense of godly sorrow give; a strong desiring confidence to hear your voice and live; 4 give faith in your great sacrifice that does for sin atone, to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes on Christ, and Christ alone; 5 give patience as we watch and weep, though mercy long delay; give courage our faint souls to keep, and trust you though you slay; 6 give these, and then your will be done; thus strengthened with all might, we, through your Spirit and your Son, shall pray, and pray aright.
