"The blessed Trinity"

Author: C. Wordsworth Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: Holy, holy, holy Lord Lyrics: 1 Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of hosts, eternal King, By the heavens and earth adored; Angels and archangels sing, Chanting everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 2 Thousands, tens of thousands, stand, Spirits blest, before the throne, Speeding thence at thy command, And, when thy commands are done, Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 3 Cherubim and seraphim Vail their faces with their wings; Eyes of angels are too dim To behold the King of kings, While they sing eternally To the blessed Trinity. 4 Thee apostles, prophets thee, Thee the noble martyr band, Praise with solemn jubilee, Thee, the church in every land; Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 5 Hallelujah! Lord, to thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; Godhead one, and Persons three; Join us with the heavenly host, Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. Used With Tune: DIX

The Babe of Bethlehem

Author: William C. Dix Appears in 648 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: As with gladness men of old Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, Saviour, to thy manger bed, There to bend the knee before Thee whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At thy cradle rude and bare, So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to thee our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds thy glory hide.

That calls me from a world of care, And bids me, at my Father's throne, Make all my wants and wishes known; In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's snare, By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! Thy wings shall my petition bear To him, whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless: And, since he bids me seek his face, Believe his word, and trust his grace, I'll cast on him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Author: John Newton Appears in 617 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: Approach, my soul! the mercy-seat Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul! the mercy-seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before his feet, For none can perish there. 2 Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh: Thou callest burdened souls to thee, And such, O Lord! am I. 3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely pressed; By war without, and fears within, I come to thee for rest. 4 Be thou my shield and hiding-place, That, sheltered near thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him--thou hast died. 5 Oh, wondrous Love--to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead thy gracious name!

"Behold he prays"

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 856 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: Prayer is the soul's sincere desire Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed; 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 Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air: His watchword at the gates of death-- He enters heaven with prayer. 5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways; While angels in their songs rejoice, And cry--"Behold he prays!" 6 O thou, by whom we come to God-- The Life, the Truth, the Way; The path of prayer thyself hast trod; Lord! teach us how to pray. Scripture: Ezekiel 36:37 Used With Tune: BYEFIELD
