My faith looks up to thee
Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Appears in 2,260 hymnals Topics: Year C Proper 6 Refrain First Line: 664 6664 Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
be wholly thine.
2 May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire.
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
pure, warm and changeless be,
a living fire.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide;
bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow's tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
when death's cold sullen stream
shall o'er me roll,
blest Saviour, then in love,
fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul. Scripture: Galatians 2:20 Used With Tune: OLIVET

and provide a robe and crown. [Refrain]

lift their songs of saving grace. [Refrain]

soon our pilgrimage will cease;
soon our happy hearts will quiver
with the melody of peace. [Refrain] Scripture: Revelation 4, 5 Used With Tune: HANSON PLACE

it shall be no longer mine;
take my heart: it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne.

at thy feet its treasure-store;
take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee.

And praises throng to crown his head;

With ev'ry morning sacrifice.

Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.

The pris'ners leap to lose their chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all who suffer want are blest.

Honors peculiar to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud amen. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

Lord, teach us how to pray aright
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 225 hymnals Topics: Proper 20 Year C Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with reverence and with fear;
though dust and ashes in thy sight,
we may, we must, draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer:
O grant us power to pray;
and, when to meet thee we prepare,
Lord, meet us by the way.
3 God of all grace, we bring to thee
a broken, contrite heart;
give what thine eye delights to see,
truth in the inward part;
4 Faith in the only sacrifice
that can for sin atone,
to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes,
on Christ, on Christ alone;
5 Patience to watch and wait and weep,
though mercy long delay;
courage our fainting souls to keep,
and trust thee though thou slay.
6 Give these, and then thy will be done;
thus, strengthened with all might,
we, through thy Spirit and thy Son,
shall pray, and pray aright. Scripture: Psalm 51:17 Used With Tune: ST HUGH

then its light directeth,
and our way protecteth.

who recount the treasure
by thy word imparted
to the simple-hearted?

succour to the living;

comfort to the dying.

its most holy learning,
Lord, may love and fear thee,
evermore be near thee! Scripture: Psalm 119:105 Used With Tune: RAVENSHAW

Father, hear the prayer we offer

do we ask our way to be;
but the steep and rugged pathway
may we tread rejoicingly.
3 Not for ever by still waters
would we idly rest and stay;
but would smite the living fountains
from the rocks along our way.
4 Be our strength in hours of weakness,
in our wanderings be our guide;
through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be thou at our side. Scripture: Exodus 17:1-7 Used With Tune: MARCHING
Father, hear the prayer we offer
