With watchful and unslumb'ring care
His own He safely keeps.

Forever He will guide.

Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 854 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 an eye,
When none but God is near.
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 path of prayer Thyself hast trod:
Lord, teach us how to pray!
Amen. Topics: Christ Way, The; Lent; Penitence; Prayer; Life in Christ Prayer and Intercession Scripture: Luke 11:1 Used With Tune: ST. AGNES

Bride of the Lamb, Awake, Awake
Author: Edward Denny Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Bride of the Lamb, awake, awake!
Why sleep for sorrow now?
The hope of glory, Christ, is thine,
A child of glory thou.
2. Thy spirit, through the lonely night,
From earthly joy apart,
Hath sighed for One that’s far away—
The Bridegroom of thy heart.
3. But see! the night is waning fast,
The breaking morn is near;
And Jesus comes, with voice of love,
Thy drooping heart to cheer.
4. He comes—for oh, His yearning heart
No more can bear delay—
To scenes of full unmingled joy
To call His bride away.
5. Then weep no more; ’tis all thine own
His crown, His joy divine;
And, sweeter far than all beside,
He, He Himself is thine! Used With Tune: ST. AGNES Text Sources: Hymns for the Poor of the Flock, 1837
Bride of the Lamb, Awake, Awake
Father of Love
Author: William J. Irons Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 87 hymnals First Line: Father of love, our guide and friend Lyrics: 1. Father of love, our guide and friend,
O lead us gently on,
Until life’s trial time shall end,
And heav’nly peace be won.
2. We know not what the path may be
As yet by us untrod;
But we can trust our all to Thee,
Our Father and our God.
3. If called, like Abraham’s child, to climb
The hill of sacrifice,
Some angel may be there in time;
Deliverance shall arise.
4. Or, if some darker lot be good,
O teach us to endure
The sorrow, pain or solitude,
That makes the spirit pure.
5. Christ by no flowery pathway came;
And we, His followers here,
Must do Thy will and praise Thy name,
In hope, and love and fear.
6. And, till in Heav’n we sinless bow,
And faultless anthems raise,
O Father, Son, and Spirit, now,
Accept our feeble praise. Used With Tune: ST. AGNES
Father of Love
God of the Nations, Near and Far
Author: John H. Holmes Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God of the nations, near and far,
Ruler of all mankind,
Bless Thou Thy people as they strive
The paths of peace to find.
2. The clash of arms still shakes the sky,
King battles still with king—
Wild through the frighted air of night
The bloody tocsins ring.
3. But clearer far the friendly speech
Of scientists and seers,
The wise debate of statesmen and
The shouts of pioneers.
4. And stronger far the claspèd hands
Of labor’s teeming throngs,
Who in a hundred tongues repeat
Their common creeds and songs.
5. From shore to shore the peoples call
In loud and sweet acclaim,
The gloom of land and sea is lit
With Pentecostal flame.
6. O Father! from the curse of war
We pray Thee give release,
And speed, O speed the blessèd day
Of justice, love and peace! Used With Tune: ST. AGNES
