Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: NCH1929 #227 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air; His watchword at the gates of death: He enters heav'n with prayer. 4. Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice Returning from his ways While angels in their songs rejoice, And cry, "Behold, he prays!" 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. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: EVAN

Sweet Hour of Prayer

Author: Rev. W. W. Walford Hymnal: NCH1929 #228 (1929) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D First Line: Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer Lyrics: 1. Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne, Make all my wants and wishes known! In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's snare, By thy return, sweet hour of prayer. 2. Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, The joys I feel, the bliss I share Of those whose anxious spirits burn With strong desires for thy return! With such I hasten to the place Where God, my Savior, shows His face, And gladly take my station there, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer. 3. Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, Thy wings shall my petition bear To Him, whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless: And since He bids me seek His face, Believe His word, and trust his grace, I'll cast on Him my ev'ry care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

O Jehovah, Hear My Words

Hymnal: NCH1929 #229 (1929) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1. O Jehovah, hear my words, To my thought attentive be; Hear my cry, My King, my God, I will make my prayer to Thee. With the morning light, O Lord, Thou shalt hear my voice arise, And expectant I will bring Prayer as morning sacrifice. 2. Thou, Jehovah, art a God Who delightest not in sin; Evil shall not dwell with Thee, Nor the proud Thy favor win. Evil-doers Thou dost hate, Lying tongues Thou wilt defeat; God abhors the man who loves Violence and base deceit. 3. In the fullness of Thy grace To Thy house I will repair; Bowing toward Thy holy place, In Thy fear will worship there. Lead me in Thy righteousness, Let my foes assail in vain; Lest my feet be turned aside, Make Thy way before me plain. 4. False and faithless are my foes, In their mouth no truth is found; Deadly are the words they speak, All their thoughts with sin abound. Bring, O God, their plans to naught, Hold them guilty in Thy sight, For against Thee and Thy law They have set themselves to fight. 5. O let all that trust Thy care Ever glad and joyful be; Let them joy who love Thy Name, Safely guarded, Lord, by Thee. For a blessing from Thy store To the righteous Thou wilt yield; Thou wilt compass him about With Thy favor as a shield.

From ev'ry stormy wind that blows, From ev'ry swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat; 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 2.

There is a spot where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Tho' sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. 4. There, there, on eagle's wing we soar, And time and sense seems all no more, And heav'n comes down, our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat.

I Look Not Back

Author: Anon. Hymnal: NCH1929 #235 (1929) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: I look not back; God knows the fruitless efforts Lyrics: 1. I look not back; God knows the fruitless efforts, The wasted hours, the sinning, the regrets. I leave them all with Him who blots the record, And graciously forgives, and then forgets. 2. I look not forward; God sees all the future, The road that, short or long, will lead me home, And He will face with me its ev'ry trial, And bear for me the burdens that may come. 3. I look not round me; then would fears assail me. So wild the tumult of earth's restless seas, So dark the world, so filled with woe and evil, So vain the hope of comfort and of ease. 4. I look not inward; that would make me wretched; For I have naught on which to stay my trust. Nothing I see save failures and shortcomings, And weak endeavors, crumbling into dust. 5. But I look up--into the face of Jesus, For there my heart can rest, my fears are stilled; And there is joy, and love, and light for darkness, And perfect peace, and ev'ry hope fulfilled.
