Hark, 'Tis Our Heav'nly Leader's Voice
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 43 hymnals First Line: Hark, ’tis our heav’nly leader’s voice Lyrics: 1 Hark, ’tis our heav’nly leader’s voice
From His triumphant seat:
’Midst all the war’s tumultuous noise,
How powerful, and how sweet!
2 "Fight on, My faithful band," He cries,
“Nor fear the mortal blow;
Who first in such a warfare dies
Shall speediest victory know.
3 "I have My days of combat known,
And in the dust was laid,
But thence I mounted to My throne,
And glory crowns My head.
4 "That throne, that glory you shall share;
My hands the crown shall give;
And you the sparkling honors wear,
While God Himself shall live."
5 Lord, ’tis enough; our bosoms glow
With courage, and with love:
Thine hand shall bear Thy soldiers thro’,
And raise their heads above.
6 My soul, while deaths beset me round,
Erects her ardent eyes,
And longs, thro’ some illustrious wound,
To rush and seize the prize. Used With Tune: LAMBETH Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)

Spirit Divine, Attend Our Prayer
Author: Andrew Reed Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 396 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Spirit Divine, attend our prayer,
And make our hearts Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious power;
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
2 Come as the light: to us reveal
Our sinfulness and woe;
And lead us in those paths of life
Where all the righteous go.
3 Come as the fire, and purge our hearts,
Like sacrificial flame;
Let our whole soul an offering be
To our Redeemer's name.
4 Come as the wind, with rushing sound,
With pentecostal grace;
And make the great salvation known
Wide as the human race.
5 Come as the dove, and spread Thy wings,
The wings of peaceful love;
And let Thy church on earth become
Blest as Thy Church above.

Lord, Give Me Light To Do Thy work
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, give me light to do Thy work,
For only, Lord, from Thee
Can come the light, by which these eyes
The way of work can see.
2 In plainest things I daily err,
When walking in the light
The wisdom of this world affords,
However fair and bright.
3 In word, and plan, and deed I err,
When busiest in Thy work;
Beneath the simplest forms of truth
The subtlest errors lurk.
4 The way is narrow, often dark,
With lights and shadows strewn;
I wander oft, and think it Thine,
When walking in my own.
5 Yet pleasant is the work for Thee,
And pleasant is the way;
But Lord, the world is dark, and I
All prone to go astray.
6 Oh, send me light to do Thy work!
More light, more wisdom give!
Then shall I work Thy work indeed,
While on Thine earth I live.
7 So shall success be mine, in spite
Of feebleness in me;
Beyond all disappointment then
And failure I shall be.
8 The work is Thine, not mine, O Lord;
It is Thy race we run;
Give light! and then shall all I do
Be well and truly done. Used With Tune: LAMBETH Text Sources: Hymns of Faith and Hope (London: James Nisbet & Company, 1857)
Lord, Give Me Light To Do Thy work
Prayer is the Soul's Sincere Desire
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 856 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Unuttered or unexpressed;
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 sinner's voice
Returning from his ways;
While angels in their songs rejoice
And cry, "Behold, he prays!"
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 O Thou, by whom we come to God,
The Life, the Truth, the Way,
The paths of prayer Thyself hast trod:
Lord, teach us how to pray! Topics: Prayer and Praise Used With Tune: LAMBETH
Prayer is the Soul's Sincere Desire
Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee
Author: J. H. Gurney Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 245 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee,
And plead to be forgiven,
So let Thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.
2 Help us, through good report and ill,
Our daily cross to bear;
Like Thee, to do our Father's will;
Our brethren's grief to share.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel,
Our earthliness refine;
And kindness in our bosoms dwell
As free and true as Thine.
4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly,
And grief's dark day come on,
We, in our turn, would meekly cry,
"Father, Thy will be done."
5 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame,
Or brethren faithless prove,
Then, like Thine own, be all our aim
To conquer them by love.
6 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,
Forgiving and forgiven
O may we lead the pilgrim's life,
And follow Thee to heaven!
Amen. Topics: General; Lent; Submission Used With Tune: LAMBETH
