Prayer is the soul's sincere desire
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 854 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpressed,
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 simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.
4 Prayer is the Christians' vital breath,
The Christians' native air;
His watch-word at the gate of death--
He enters heaven with prayer.
5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice
Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice,
And say, "Behold, he prays." Topics: The Catechism Prayer; Fifth Sunday after Easter; Eleventh Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: MERTON

According to Thy gracious word
O Thou from whom all goodness flows

O Thou from whom all goodness flows
Teach me the measure of my days
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 257 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Teach me the measure of my days,
Thou Maker of my frame!
I would survey life's narrow space,
And learn how frail I am.
2 A span is all that we can boast;
A fleeting hour of time;
Man is but vanity and dust,
In all His flower and prime.
3 Vain race of mortals, see them move
Like shadows o'er the plain:
They rage and strive, desire and love,
But all the noise is vain.
4 Some walk in honor's gaudy show;
Some dig for golden ore;
They toil for whom they do not know,
And straight are seen no more.
5 What should I wish or wait for then,
From creatures, earth, and dust?
They make our expectations vain,
And disappoint our trust.
6 Now I resign my earthly hope,
My fond desires recall;
I give my mortal interest up,
And make my God my all. Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; First Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: MERTON

When Cold Our Hearts And Far From Thee
Author: Jonn S. Monsell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When cold our hearts and far from Thee
Our wand'ring spirits stray,
And tho'ts and lips move heavily,
Lord, teach us how to pray.
2 Too vile to venture near Thy throne,
Too poor to turn away;
Our only voice Thy Spirit's groan;
Lord, teach us how to pray.
3 We know not how to seek Thy face
Unless Thou lead the way;
We have no words unless Thy grace,
Lord, teach us how to pray.
4 Here ev'ry tho't and fond desire
We on Thine altar lay;
And when our souls have caught Thy fire,
Lord, teach us how to pray.
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.
Amen. Topics: Prayer Used With Tune: MERTON
