Importunate Prayer

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 211 hymnals Scripture: Luke 18:1-7 First Line: Jesus, who knows full well Lyrics: 1 Jesus, who knows full well The heart of ev'ry saint, Invites us all our griefs to tell, To pray and never faint. 2 He bows his gracious ear, We never plead in vain; Then let us wait till he appears, And pray, and pray again. 3 Though unbelief suggest, Why should we longer wait? He bids us never give him rest, But knock at mercy's gate. 4 Jesus the Lord will hear His chosen when they cry; Yes, though he may a while forbear, He'll help them from on high. 5 His nature, truth and love, Engage him on their side; When they are griev'd, his bowels move, They will not be deny'd. 6 Then let us earnest cry, And never faint in pray'r, He sees, he hears, and from on high, Will make our cause his own.

What a friend we have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Scriven (1819-1886) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Scripture: Luke 18:1 Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer! 2 Have we trials and temptations, is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged: take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness: take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, cumbered with a load of care? Jesus is our only refuge: take it to the Lord in prayer. Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.

All, all thine own: soul, heart, and strength and mind; I see the cross--there teach my heart to cling; O let me seek thee and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear; to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love: one holy passion filling all my frame, the baptism of the heav'n-descended Dove: my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

Lord, teach us how to pray aright

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Luke 18:1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright with reverence and with fear; though fallen sinners in thy sight, we may, we must, draw near. 2 Our spirits fail through lack of prayer: oh, 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 Trust 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; and courage our faint souls to keep, with faith in thee alway. 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.
