Lord, teach us how to pray aright

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 223 hymnals 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 We perish if we cease from prayer: O grant us power to pray; and, when to meet thee we prepare, Lord, meet us by the way. 3 God of all grace, we bring to thee a broken, contrite heart; give what thine eye delights to see, truth in the inward part; 4 Faith in the only sacrifice that can for sin atone, to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes, on Christ, on Christ alone; 5 Patience to watch and wait and weep, though mercy long delay; courage our fainting souls to keep, and trust thee though thou slay. 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.

Well hast thou with thy servant dealt

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: TETH THE NINTH PART 65 Well hast thou with thy servant dealt, as thou didst promise give. 66 Good judgment me, and knowledge teach, for I thy word believe. 67 Ere I afflicted was I strayed; but now I keep thy word. 68 Good thou art, and thou doest good: teach me thy statutes, Lord. 69 The men that are puffed up with pride against me forged a lie; but as for me, thy precepts keep with my whole heart will I. 70 Their hearts, through worldly ease and wealth, as fat as grease they be: but in thy holy law I take delight continually. 71 It hath been very good for me that I afflicted was, that I might well instructed be, and learn thy holy laws. 72 The word that cometh from thy mouth is better unto me than many thousands and great sums of gold and silver be.

Now Let Us See Thy Beauty, Lord

Author: Benjamin Waugh, 1839-1908 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now let us see Thy beauty, Lord, As we have seen before; And by Thy beauty quicken us To love Thee and adore. 2 ’Tis easy when with simple mind Thy loveliness we see, To consecrate ourselves afresh To duty and to Thee. 3 Our every feverish mood is cooled, And gone is every load, When we can lose the love of self, And find the love of God. 4 ’Tis by Thy loveliness we’re won To home and Thee again, And as we are Thy children true We are more truly men. 5 Lord, it is coming to ourselves When thus we come to Thee; The bondage of Thy loveliness Is perfect liberty. 6 So now we come to ask again, What Thou hast often giv’n, The vision of that loveliness Which is the life of Heav’n.
