Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #454 (1941) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Luke 11:1 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Unuttered or exprest,
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 pray'r.
6 The saints in prayer appear as one
In word and deed and mind,
While with the Father and the Son
Sweet fellowship they find.
7 Nor prayer is made by man alone--
The Holy Spirit pleads,
And Jesus on th'eternal throne
For sinners intercedes.
8 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 Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD
