Prayerful Desire

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: O Lord, make haste to hear my cry Lyrics: 1 O Lord, make haste to hear my cry, To Thee I call, on Thee rely. Incline to me a gracious ear, And when I call, in mercy hear. 2 When in the morning unto Thee I lift my voice and bring my plea, Then let my prayer as incense rise To God enthroned above the skies. 3 When unto Thee I look and pray With lifted hands at close of day, Then as the evening sacrifice Let my request accepted rise. 4 Guard Thou my thoughts, I Thee implore, And of my lips O keep Thou the door; Nor leave my sinful heart to stray Where evil footsteps lead the way. 5 O righteous God, Thy chastisement, Though sent thro' foes, in love is sent; Though grievous it will profit me, A healing ointment it shall be. 6 While wickedness my foes devise, To Thee my constant prayer shall rise; When their injustice is o'erthrown Mu gentleness shall still be shown. 7 Brought nigh to death and sore distressed, O Lord, my God, in Thee I rest; Forsake me not, I look to Thee, Let me Thy great salvation see. 8 Themselves entangled in their snare, Their own defeat my foes prepare; O keep me, Lord, for let me fall, Protect and lead me safe through all.

My Gracious Lord, I Own Thy Right

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Appears in 259 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My gracious Lord, I own Thy right To every service I can pay, And call it my supreme delight To hear Thy dictates, and obey. 2 What is my being but for Thee, Its sure support, its noblest end? Thy ever smiling ace to see, And serve the cause of such a Friend. 3 I would not breathe for worldly joy, Or to increase my worldly good; Nor future days nor powers employ To spread a sounding name abroad. 4 ’Tis to my Saviour I would live, To Him who for my ransom died; Nor could untainted Eden give Such bliss as blossoms at His side. 5 His work my hoary age shall bless, When youthful vigour is no more; And my last hour of life confess His love hath animating power. Amen. Topics: Devotional; Inner Life; The Christian Way of Life Assurance and Trust Used With Tune: QUEBEC (HESPERUS)

Lord, I would seize the golden hour; I pray to be released from guilt, And freed from sin and Satan’s power. 2. More of Thy presence, Lord, impart, More of Thine image let me bear; Erect Thy throne within my heart, And reign without a rival there. 3. Give me to read my pardon sealed, And from Thy joy to draw my strength; To have Thy boundless love revealed In all its height, and breadth, and length. 4. Grant these requests—I ask no more, But to Thy care the rest resign; Living or dying, rich or poor, All shall be well if Thou art mine. Used With Tune: HESPERUS Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779). Newton's original, longer, version began "If Solomon for wisdom prayed." The shorter version below appeared in the Arminian Magazine, 1781

Thou, Lord of life, our saving health, Who mak’st Thy suffering ones our care; Our gifts are still our truest wealth, To serve Thee our sincerest prayer. 2. As on the river’s rising tide Flow strength and coolness from the sea, So through the ways our hands provide, May quickening life flow in from Thee; 3. To heal the wound, to still the pain, And strength to failing pulses bring, Till the lame feet shall leap again, And the parched lips with gladness sing. 4. Bless Thou the gifts our hands have brought! Bless Thou the work our hearts have planned, Ours is the faith, the will, the thought; The rest, O God, is in Thy hand. Used With Tune: HESPERUS
