The praying spirit breathe
Hymnal: PHBD1790 #LXI (1790) Lyrics: 1 The praying spirit breathe,
The watching pow'r impart;
From all entanglements beneath
Call off my peaceful heart;
My feeble mind sustain,
By worldly thoughts oppress'd;
Appear and bid me turn again
To my eternal rest.
3 Swift to my rescue come,
Thine own this moment seize:
Gather my wand'ring spirit home,
And keep in perfect peace:
Suffer'd no more to rove
O'er all the earth abroad,
Arrest the pris'ner of thy love,
And shut me up in God. Topics: Petition Languages: English
The praying spirit breathe
Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
Hymnal: PHBD1790 #LXII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
In this our evil day;
To all thy tempted foll'wers, give
The pow'r to watch and pray.
2 Long as our fi'ry trials last,
Long as the cross we bear,
O let our souls on thee be cast,
In never-ceasing prayer!
3 The spirit of interceding grace
Give us in faith to claim;
To wrestle till we see thy face,
And know thy hidden name.
4 Till thou thy perfect love impart,
Till thou thyself bestow,
Be this the cry of ev'ry heart,
I will not let thee go.
5 I will not let thee go, unless
Thou tell thy name to me,
With all thy great salvation bless,
And make me all like thee.
6 Then let me on the mountain-top,
Behold thy open face,
Where faith in sight is swallow'd up,
And pray'r in endless praise. Topics: Petition Languages: English
Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
Jesu, my strength, my hope
Hymnal: PHBD1790 #LXIII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Jesu, my strength, my hope,
On thee I cast my care,
With humble confidence look up,
And know thou hear’st my pray'r,
Give me on thee to wait,
Till I can all things do,
On thee almighty to create.
Almighty to renew.
2 I want a sober mind,
A self-renouncing will,
That tramples down, and casts behind,
The baits of pleasing ill:
A soul inur'd to pain,
To hardship, grief, and loss;
Bold to take up, firm to sustain,
The consecrated cross.
3 I want a godly fear,
A quick discerning eye,
That looks to thee when sin is near,
And bids the tempter fly;
A spirit still prepar'd,
And arm'd with jealous care,
For ever standing on its guard,
And watching unto pray'r.
4 I want a heart to pray,
To pray and never cease,
Never to murmur at thy stay,
Or wish my suff'rings less.
This blessing above all –
Always to pray I want,
Out of the deep on thee to call,
And never, never faint.
5 I want a true regard,
A single, steady aim,
Unmov'd by threat'ning or reward,
To thee and thy great name:
A jealous, just concern
For thine immortal praise;
A pure desire that all may learn,
And glorify thy grace.
6 I rest upon thy word;
The promise is for me:
My succour and salvation, Lord,
Shall surely come from thee:
But let me still abide,
Nor from my hope remove,
Till thou my patient spirit guide
Into thy perfect love. Topics: Petition Languages: English
Jesu, my strength, my hope
Help, Lord, to whom for help I fly
Hymnal: PHBD1790 #LXIV (1790) Lyrics: 1 Help, Lord, to whom for help I fly,
And still my tempted soul stand by
Throughout the evil day;
The sacred watchfulness impart,
And keep the issues of my heart,
And stir me up to pray.
2 My soul with thy whole armour arm,
In each approach of sin alarm,
And shew the danger near;
Surround, sustain, and strengthen me,
And fill with godly jealosuy,
And sanctifying fear.
3 Whene'er my careless hands hang down,
O let me see thy gath'ring frown,
And feel thy warning eye;
And starting cry, from ruin's brink,
Save, Jesus, or I yield, I sink!
O save me, or I die!
4 If near the pit, I rashly stray,
Before I wholly fall away,
The keen conviction dart;
Recall me by that pitying look,
That kind, upbraiding glance which broke
Unfaithful Peter's heart.
5 In me thine utmost mercy show,
And make me like thyself below,
Unblameable in grace;
Ready prepar'd and fitted here,
By perfect holiness t' appear
Before thy glorious face. Topics: Petition Languages: English
Help, Lord, to whom for help I fly
Jesu, my Saviour, Brother, Friend
Hymnal: PHBD1790 #LXV (1790) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, my Saviour, Brother, Friend,
On whom I cast my ev'ry care,
On whom for all things I depend,
Inspire, and then accept my pray'r.
2 If I have tasted of thy grace,
The grace that sure salvation brings;
If with me now thy Spirit stays,
And hov'ring hides me in his wings;
3 Still let him with my weakness stay,
Nor for a moment’s space depart;
Evil and danger turn away,
And keep, till he renews my heart.
4 When to the right or left I stray,
His voice behind me may I hear,
"Return, and walk in Christ thy way,
"Fly back to Christ, for sin is near."
5 His sacred unction from above
Be still my comforter and guide;
Till all the stony he remove,
And in my loving heart reside.
6 Jesus, I fain would walk in thee,
From nature’s ev'ry path retreat;
Thou art my way, my leader be,
And set upon the rock my feet.
7 Uphold me, Saviour, or I fall;
O reach me out thy gracious hand!
Only on thee for help I call;
Only by faith in thee I stand.

A charge to keep I have
Hymnal: PHBD1790 #LXVI (1790) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have;
A God to glorify;
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky:
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill;
O may it all my pow'rs engage
To do my Master's will!
2 Arm me with jealous care
As in thy sight to live;
And O thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give,
Help me to watch and pray,
And, on thyself rely;
Assur'd, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die. Topics: Petition Languages: English
A charge to keep I have
Be it my only wisdom here
Hymnal: PHBD1790 #LXVII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Be it my only wisdom here
To serve the Lord with filial fear,
With loving gratitude;
Superior sense may I display,
By shunning ev'ry evil way,
And walking in the good.
2 O may I still from sin depart;
A wise and understanding heart,
Jesus, to me be giv'n!
And let me through thy Spirit know,
To glorify my God below,
And find my way to heav'n. Topics: Petition Languages: English

God of almighty love
Hymnal: PHBD1790 #LXVIII (1790) Lyrics: 1 God of almighty love,
By whose sufficient grace
I lift my heart to things above,
And humbly seek thy face;
Through Jesus Christ the just
My faint desires receive,
And let me in thy goodness trust,
And to thy glory live.
2 Whate’er I say or do,
Thy glory be my aim;
My off'rings all be offer'd through
Thy ever-blessed name.
Jesu, my single eye
Be fixt on thee alone;
Thy name be prais'd on earth, on high;
Thy will by all be done.
3 Spirit of faith, inspire
My consecrated heart;
Fill me with pure, celestial fire,
With all thou hast and art:
My feeble mind transform,
And, perfectly renew'd,
Into a saint exalt a worm;
A worm exalt to God! Topics: Petition Languages: English
God of almighty love
The thing my God doth hate
Hymnal: PHBD1790 #LXIX (1790) Lyrics: 1 The thing my God doth hate,
That I no more may do,
Thy creature, Lord, again create,
And all my soul renew:
My soul shall then like thine,
Abhor the thing unclean,
And sanctify'd by love divine,
For ever cease from sin.
2 That blessed law of thine,
Jesu, to me impart;
Thy Spirit's law of life divine,
O write it on my heart!
Implant it deep within,
Whence it may ne'er remove,
The law of liberty from sin,
The perfect law of love.
3 Thy nature be my law,
Thy spotless sanctity,
And sweetly ev'ry moment draw
My happy soul to thee;
Soul of my soul remain,
Who didst for all fulfil,
In me, O Lord, fulfil again
Thy heav'nly Father's will. Topics: Petition Languages: English
The thing my God doth hate
O for a heart to praise my God
Hymnal: PHBD1790 #LXX (1790) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free!
A heart that always feels thy blood
So freely spilt for me!
2 A heart resign'd, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer's throne:
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.
3 O for a lowly contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean,
Which neither life nor death can part
From him that dwells within.
4 A heart in ev'ry thought renew'd,
And full of love divine;
Perfect and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of thine.
5 Thy tender heart is still the same,
And melts at human woe;
Jesu, for thee, distress'd I am,
I want thy love to know.
6 My heart, thou know'st, can never rest,
Till thou create my peace,
Till of my Eden repossess'd,
From ev'ry sin I cease.
7 Fruit of thy gracious lips, on me
Bestow that peace unknown,
The hidden manna, and the tree
Of life, and the white stone.
8 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart
Come quickly from above;
Write thy new name upon my heart,
Thy new, best name of love. Topics: Petition Languages: English
O for a heart to praise my God
