Lord, Thy mercy now entreating
Pleasant are Thy courts above
Author: H. F. Lyte Appears in 248 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Praise; Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Praise and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Pleasant are Thy courts above,
In the land of light and love;
Pleasant are Thy courts below,
In this land of sin and woe.
O, my spirit longs and faints
For the converse of Thy saints,
For the brightness of Thy face,
For Thy fullness, God of grace!
2 Happy souls! their praises flow
Even in this vale of woe;
Waters in the desert rise,
Manna feeds them from the skies;
On they go from strength to strength,
Till they reach Thy throne at length;
At Thy feet adoring fall,
Who hast led them safe through all.
3 Lord, be mine this prize to win;
Guide me through a world of sin,
Keep me by Thy saving grace,
Give me at Thy side a place.
Sun and shield alike Thou art;
Guide and guard my erring heart;
Grace and glory flow from Thee:
Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me! Used With Tune: [Pleasant are Thy courts above]
Pleasant are Thy courts above

In our want, or in our wealth,
If we look to God in prayer,
God is present ev'rywhere.
3 When our earthly comforts fail,
When the foes of life prevail,
'Tis the time for earnest prayer;
God is present ev'rywhere.
4 Then, my soul, in ev'ry strait,
To thy Father come, and wait;

Lord, teach us how to pray aright
Author: J. Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 225 hymnals Topics: Praise and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright,
With reverence and with fear;
Though dust and ashes in Thy sight,
We may, we must draw near.
2 Burdened with guilt, convinced of sin,
In weakness, want, and woe,
Fightings without and fears within,
Lord, whither shall we go?
3 God of all grace, we come to Thee
With broken, contrite hearts;
Give what Thine eye delights to see,
Truth in the inward parts.
4 Give deep humility; the sense
Of godly sorrow give;
A strong desire, with confidence,
To hear Thy voice and live;
5 Faith in the only sacrifice
That can for sin atone;
To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes,
On Christ, on Christ alone.
6 Give these, and then Thy will be done;
Thus strenghened with all might,
We, through Thy Spirit and Thy Son,
Shall pray, and pray aright. Used With Tune: [Lord, teach us how to pray aright]

Prayer is the Soul's Sincere Desire
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 856 hymnals Topics: Praise and Prayer Prayer 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 Christian's vital breath,
The Christian's native air;
His watchword at the gates of death:
He enters heaven with prayer.
4 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. Used With Tune: EVAN

Boldly we draw nigh to God;
Only in Thy spotless merit,
Only through Thy precious blood:
By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord!

From the hardening power of sin,
From all malice and unkindness,
From the pride that lurks within,
By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord!

In the day of Satan's power,
In our times of deep distresses,
In each dark and trying hour,
By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord!
5 When the world around is smiling,
In the time of wealth and ease,
Earthly joys our hearts beguiling,
In the day of health and peace,
By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord!
6 In the weary hours of sickness,
In the times of grief and pain,
When we feel our mortal weakness,
When all human help is vain:
By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord!
7 In the solemn hour of dying,
In the awful judgment day,
May our souls, on Thee relying,
Find Thee still our rock and stay:
By Thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord! Used With Tune: [Jesus, Lord of life and glory]

His mercies bear in mind;
Forget not all His benefits:

And ready to abate.
4 He pardons all thy sins;
Prolongs thy feeble breath;
He heals all thine infirmities,
And ransoms thee from death.
5 He clothes thee with His love;
Upholds thee with His truth;
And like the eagle He renews
The vigor of thy youth.

Whose grace hath made thee whole,
Whose lovingkindness crowns thy days;
