Lord, teach us how to pray aright
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:14 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with reverence and with fear;
though fallen sinners in thy sight,
we may, we must, draw near.
2 Our spirits fail through lack of prayer:
oh, 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 Trust 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;
and courage our faint souls to keep,
with faith in thee alway.
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. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Prayer Used With Tune: EDGBASTON

though your path be dark as night;
there's a star to guide the humble:

trust in God, trust in God,
trust in God, and do the right.

perish all that fears the light!
Whether losing, whether winning,

some will flatter, some will slight;
heed them not, and look above you:
trust in God, trust in God,
trust in God, and do the right.
3 Simple rule and safest guiding,
inward peace and inward might,
star upon our path abiding,
trust in God and do the right.

trust in God, trust in God,
trust in God, and do the right. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Courage; Guidance; Trust Used With Tune: COURAGE BROTHER

If Thou but Trust in God to Guide Thee
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 179 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:14 Lyrics: 1 If thou but trust in God to guide thee,
with hopeful heart through all thy ways,
God will give strength, whate'er betide thee,
to bear thee through the evil days.
Who trusts in God's unchanging love
builds on the rock that nought can move.
2 Only be still, and wait God's leisure
in cheerful hope, with heart content
to take whate'er thy Keeper's pleasure
and all-discerning love hath sent.
No doubt our inmost wants are clear
to One who holds us always dear.
3 Sing, pray, and swerve not from God's ways,
but do thine own part faithfully.
Trust the rich promises of grace;
so shall they be fulfilled in thee.
God never yet forsook at need
the soul secured by trust indeed. Topics: Grace; Guidance; Hope; Living and Dying in Christ; Temptation; Trust Used With Tune: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT

While here o’er earth we rove;
Speak to our hearts, and let us feel
The kindling of Thy love.
2 With Thee conversing, we forget
All time and toil and care;
Labor is rest, and pain is sweet,
If Thou, my God, art here.
3 Thou callest me to seek Thy face,
’Tis all I wish to seek;
To hear the whispers of Thy grace,
And hear Thee in me speak.
4 Let this my every hour employ,
Till I Thy glory see
Enter into my Master’s joy,
And find my heaven in Thee.
Amen.

Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Bianco da Siena; Richard Frederick Littledale Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 109 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:1 Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love Divine;
seek out this soul of mine,
and visit it with your own ardor glowing.
O Comforter, draw near;
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming.
And let your glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling.
For none can guess God’s grace,
till Love creates a place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Topics: Gift of the Holy Spirit; Grace; Humility; Light Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

first-begotten from the dead,
thou alone, our strong defender,
liftest up thy people's head.
Alleluia, alleluia,
Jesu, true and living bread.
2 Here our humblest homage pay we,
here in loving reverence bow;
here for faith's discernment pray we,
lest we fail to know thee now.
Alleluia, alleluia,
thou art here, we ask not how.
3 Though the lowliest form doth veil thee
as of old in Bethlehem,
here as there thine angels hail thee,
branch and flower of Jesse's stem.
Alleluia, alleluia,
we in worship join with them.
4 Paschal Lamb, thine offering, finished
once for all when thou wast slain,
in its fullness undiminished
shall for evermore remain,
Alleluia, alleluia,
cleansing souls from every stain.
5 Life-imparting heavenly manna,
stricken rock with streaming side,
heaven and earth with loud hosanna
worship thee, the Lamb who died,
Alleluia, alleluia,
risen, ascended, glorified! Topics: Holy Communion; Easter II Year A; Easter III Year B; Easter IV Year C; Proper 23 Year B Used With Tune: ST HELEN
