Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 850 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Unuttered or expressed; 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 contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice And cry, "Behold, he prays" 5 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air, His watchword at the gates of death: He enters heaven with prayer. 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! AMEN. Topics: Prayer Used With Tune: CAMPMEETING
