Lord, teach us how to pray aright

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #71 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright With reverence and with fear: Though dust and ashes in Thy sight, We may, we must draw near. 2 Burdened with guilt, convinced of sin, In weakness, want, and woe. Fightings without and fears within, Lord, whither shall we go? 3 God of all grace, we come to Thee With broken, contrite hearts; Give what Thine eye delight to see Truth in the inward parts. 4 Give deep humility; the sense Of godly sorrow give; A strong desire, with confidence, To hear Thy voice and live; 5 Faith in the only sacrifice That can for sin atone, To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes, On Christ, on Christ alone. 6 Give these, and then Thy will be done; Thus strengthened with all might, We, through Thy Spirit and Thy Son, Shall pray, and pray aright.

Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #72 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before His feet, For none can perish there. 2 Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh; Thou callest burdened souls to Thee, And such, O Lord, am I. 3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely pressed, By wars without and fears within, I come to Thee for rest. 4 Be Thou my shield and hiding-place, That, sheltered near Thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him, Thou hast died. 5 O wondrous Love! to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead Thy gracious name.

All that I was, my sin, my guilt

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #73 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt, My death, was all my own; All that I am, I owe to Thee, My gracious God, alone. 2 The evil of my former state Was mine, and only mine; The good in which I now rejoice Is Thine, and only Thine. 3 The darkness of my former state, The bondage, all was mine; The light of life, in which I walk, The liberty, is Thine. 4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin, It taught me to believe; Then, in believing, peace I found, And now I live, I live. 5 All that I am, even here on earth, All that I hope to be When Jesus comes and glory dawns, I owe it, Lord, to Thee.

Why Do We Mourn Departing Friends

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #593 (1941) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing friends Or shake at death’s alarms? ’Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to His arms. 2 Are we not tending upward, too, As fast as time can move? Nor would we wish the hours more slow To keep us from our Love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay And scattered all the gloom. 4 The graves of all His saints He blest And softened ev'ry bed. Where should the dying members rest But with the dying Head? 5 Thence He arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way. Up to the Lord, we, too, shall fly, At the great rising-day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound And bid our kindred rise: Awake, ye nations under ground! Ye saints, ascend the skies! Amen.

Author: Isaac Williams Hymnal: Church Book #187 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy soul, for ever blest, Hath gone among the dead, And to his peaceful place of rest The dying thief hath led. 2 And all for us; that when, ere long, We shall resign our breath, We may not fear to go among The unseen shades of death. 3 In death's dark vale I soon must be, But I will nothing fear; Thy rod and staff will comfort me; Thou hast Thyself been there.

O Thou whose tender mercy hears

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Church Book #352 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose tender mercy hears Contrition's humble sigh; Whose hand, indulgent, wipes the tears From sorrow's weeping eye! 2 See, low before Thy throne of grace, A wretched wanderer mourn; Hast Thou not bide me seek Thy face? Hast Thou not said, return? 3 And shall my guilty fears prevail, To drive me from Thy feet? O let not this dear refuge fail, This only safe retreat. 4 Absent from Thee, my Guide, my Light, Without one cheering ray, Through dangers, fears, and gloomy night, How desolate my way! 5 O shine on this benighted heart, With beams of mercy shine; And let Thy healing voice impart A taste of joys divine. 6 Thy presence only, can bestow Delights which never cloy; Be this my solace here below, And my eternal joy!

Affliction is a stormy deep

Author: Nathaniel Cotton Hymnal: Church Book #479 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Affliction is a stormy deep, Where wave resounds to wave; Though o'er my head the billows roll, I know the Lord can save. 2 The hand that now withholds my joys Can reinstate my peace: And He who bade the tempest roar, Can bid that tempest cease. 3 In the dark watches of the night, I'll count His mercies o'er; I'll praise Him for ten thousand past, And humbly sue for more. 4 When darkness and when sorrows rose And pressed on every side, The Lord has still sustained my steps, And still has been my Guide. 5 Here will I rest, and build my hopes, Nor murmur at His rod; He's more than all the world to me, My Health, my Life, my God!
