We bring you, Lord, our prayer and praise
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 6:10 Lyrics: 1 We bring you, Lord, our prayer and praise
that every child of earth
should live and grow in freedom's ways,
in dignity and worth.
2 We praise for such a task begun
to serve each other's need,
for every cause of justice won,
for every fetter freed.
3 Our prayers are for a world in pain
where force and fear prevail,
the plough becomes the sword again,
and hope and harvests fail.
4 Alike our prayer and praise express
the wants of humankind,
that those in bondage and distress
their larger freedoms find.
5 So may we still maintain the fight
till earth's oppressions cease
before the universal right
to liberty and peace.
6 In Christ we learn to love and care
and spread his truth abroad;
and in his Name we lift our prayer:
'Your kingdom come, O Lord.'

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 6:19-21 First Line: Glorious things of thee are spoken Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God.
He, whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever flows their thirst to assuage?
Grace, which like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner
light by night and shade by day,
safe they feed upon the manna
which God gives them on their way.
4 Savior, since of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in your name.
Fading are the world's best pleasures,
all its boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasures
none but Zion's children know.

deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
shall the true Messiah see.

to his ransomed worshipers:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
See! the day of God appears.

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 709 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 6:5-13 First Line: Come, my soul, with ev'ry care Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, with ev'ry care,
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He Himself has bid thee pray,
Therefore will not turn away.
2 Thou art coming to a King,
Large petitions with thee bring;
For His grace and pow'r are such
None can ever ask too much.
3 With my burden I begin:
Lord, remove this load of sin;
Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.
4 Lord, Thy rest to me impart,
Take possession of my heart;
There Thy blood-bought right maintain
And without a rival reign.
5 While I am a pilgrim here,
Let Thy love my spirit cheer;
As my guide, my guard, my friend,
Lead me to my journey's end.
6 Show me what is mine to do;
Ev'ry hour my strength renew.
Let me live a life of faith;
Let me die Thy people's death.
