Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #391 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 simplest form of speech that infant lips can try; prayer the sublimest strains that reach the Majesty on high. 3 Prayer is the contrite sinners' voice, returning from their way, while angels in their songs rejoice and cry, "Behold, they pray!" 4 Prayer is the Christians' vital breath, the Christians' native air, their watchword at the gates of death; they enter heaven with prayer. 5 O Christ, by whom we come to God, the Life, the Truth, the Way, the path of prayer You also trod; Lord, teach us how to pray!

O Lord, Another Day Is Flown

Author: Henry K. White, 1785-1806 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11981 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, another day is flown, And we, a lonely band, Are met once more before Thy throne, To bless Thy fostering hand. 2 And wilt Thou bend a listening ear To praises low as ours? Thou wilt! for Thou dost love to hear The song which meekness pours. 3 And Jesus, Thou Thy smiles wilt deign As we before Thee pray; For Thou didst bless the infant train, And we are less then they. 4 Thy heav’nly grace to each impart; All evil far remove; And shed abroad in every heart Thine everlasting love. 5 And Thou wilt turn our wandering feet, And Thou wilt bless our way, Till worlds shall fade, and faith shall greet The dawn of endless day. 6 Our souls, obedient to Thy sway, In Christian bonds unite; Let peace and love conclude the day, And hail the morning light. 7 Thus chastened, cleansed, entirely Thine, A flock by Jesus led— The sun of holiness shall shine In glory on our head.

Again The Christmas Board Is Spread

Author: John W. Chadwick Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15286 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Again the Christmas board is spread, Again we gather round; And thanks too deep for words go up To God without a sound. 2 Thanks for the common blessings first, The commonest of all, The daily bread, the manna sweet, That never fails to fall. 3 The daily bread, the daily joy, The greeting morn and eve, The kiss of love, the kiss of peace, Which daily we receive. 4 And if with all the joy He sends Some grief is also there, We praise Him still that He doth give The patience that can bear. 5 Can bear, and through the bearing find Within the hardest lot, Some hidden grace which none may know Save those who have it got. 6 But shall this merry time go past, And thanks remain unsped For Him who said so long ago, I am the living Bread? 7 For Him, star-lit by Mary’s smile, Whom simple shepherds found, And wise men from the brooding East, Where oxen stood around? 8 No wonder that they worshipped Him! He was a baby sweet; They had been foolish not to kneel And kiss His rosy feet. 9 But little recked they as He lay In such a lowly place, That He should be the Man of men, The captain of His race. 10 We differ when we speak of Him, Our words are not the same, But in our hearts there burns for aye, One undivided flame. 11 Our words must differ, but our hearts Still yield Him reverence due; We love in spite of all our creeds; Our love at least is true. 12 And if, above the starry skies, He knows of what is here, He knows there is a place for Him At all our Christmas cheer.

Our Like Is Like A Vapor, Gone

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16086 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Our life is like a vapor, gone Lyrics: 1 Our life is like a vapor, gone, Our moments swiftly fly; Lo, scarce our sands begin to run, Ere we begin to die. 2 Our days on earth are but a span, A sudden breath of air; Lord, what a brittle thing is man, How vain is mortal care. 3 Various unnumbered ills attend Our weak and helpless frame, Our fleeting life, so soon it ends, lt scarce deserves the name. 4 No weaver’s shuttle moves so fast, No stream so swiftly flows; Time bears us on with rapid haste, To endless joys or woes. 5 See, sickness, sorrow round us wait, And nature is infirm; Our age to seventy years is set, Alas, how short the term! 6 Or, should we by uncommon strength To fourscore years attain, Yet feebleness will come at length, And bring disease and pain. 7 Oh may I learn the heav’nly art, T’improve each passing hour; And what my hands shall find to do, Dispatch with all my power.

How Glorious Is Our Heavenly King

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16215 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How glorious is our heav’nly king Lyrics: 1 How glorious is our heav’nly king, Who reigns above the sky! How shall a child presume to sing His awful majesty? 2 How great His pow’r is, none can tell, Nor think how large His grace; Not men below, nor saints who dwell, On high, before His face. 3 Not angels, who stand round the Lord, Can search His secret will; But they perform His heav’nly word, And sing His praises still. 4 Then let me join this holy train, And my first offerings bring; Th’eternal God will not disdain To hear an infant sing. 5 My heart resolves, my tongue obeys, And angels will rejoice To hear their mighty maker’s praise Sound from a feeble voice.
