Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXXX (1791) Lyrics: 1 I want an Heart to pray;
To pray, and never cease:
Never to Murmur at thy Stay,
Or with my Suff'rings less.
2 This Blessing above all,
Always to pray, I want;
Out of the Deep on thee to call,
And never, never faint.
3 I want a true Regard,
A single, steady Aim,
(Unmov'd by Threatning, or Reward--)
To thee, and thy great Name.
4 A jealous just Concern
For thine immortal Praise;
A pure Desire, that all may learn
And glorify thy Grace.
5 I want with all my Heart
Thy Pleasure to fulfil;
To know myself, and what thou art,
And what thy perfect Will.
6 I want, I know not what;
I want my Wants to see:
I want, alas! what want I not,
When thou art not in me? Topics: liturgical Prayer Songs; Supplicatory Hymns Languages: English
