Prayer is the soul's sincere desire
Author: J. Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 849 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 the 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 Christian's vital breath,
The Christian's native air,
His watchword at the gates of death;
He enters heaven with prayer.
5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice
Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice
And cry, "Behold, he prays!"
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. Topics: The Church Year Ascension; The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Easter Used With Tune: [Prayer is the soul's sincere desire]

Lord of the everlasting light
Author: Leigh Mitchell Hodges, 1876 - 1954 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord of the everlasting light,
Let shine on these today
A guiding beam, to lead aright
Their feet along the way.
2 Anoint them freely with thy grace,
That gladly they may share
Earth's many joys, and bravely face
The burdens they must bear.
3 O, may they ever turn to thee
As Father and as Friend;
Secure in thy infinity
Until the journey's end. A-men.
4 And when, beyond the dusk of time,
They greet the dawn above,
O give them, in that blessèd clime,
Thy endlessness of love.
Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Rites Confirmation Used With Tune: LUTHER SEMINARY
