Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 513 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 59:1 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, where'er thy people meet,
there they behold thy mercy-seat;

and, going, take thee to their home.

thy former mercies here renew;
here to our waiting hearts proclaim
the sweetness of thy saving name.

to strengthen faith and sweeten care,
to teach our faint desires to rise,
and bring all heaven before our eyes.

and make a thousand hearts thine own! Topics: Fourth Sunday Before Lent Year A; Lent III Year A; Proper 12 Year C; Proper 20 Year C Used With Tune: WAREHAM

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 845 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 59:9-10 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
unuttered or expressed,
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 Christian's vital breath,
the Christian's native air,
their watchword at the gates of death,
they enter heaven with prayer.
5 Prayer is not made by us alone:
the Holy Spirit pleads,
and Jesus, on the eternal throne,
for sinners intercedes.
6 O Christ, by whom we come to God,
the Life, the Truth, the Way,
the path of prayer yourself have trod,
Lord, teach us how to pray. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Prayer Used With Tune: COLESHILL

may Jesus Christ be praised!
The powers of darkness fear
when this sweet chant they hear,
may Jesus Christ be praised!

my canticle divine,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this th'eternal song
through all the ages long,
may Jesus Christ be praised!

Author: Johann Franck, 1618-77; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 59:12 Lyrics: 1 Lord, to You I make confession:
I have sinned and gone astray,
I have multiplied transgression,
Chosen for myself my way.
Led by You to see my errors,
Lord, I tremble at Your terrors.
2 Yet, though conscience' voice appall me,
Father, I will seek Your face;
Though Your child I dare not call me,
Yet receive me in Your grace.
Do not for my sins forsake me;
Let Your wrath not overtake me.
3 For Your Son has suffered for me,
Giv'n Himself to rescue me,
Died to save me and restore me,
Reconciled and set me free.
Jesus' cross alone can vanquish
These dark fears and soothe this anguish.
4 Lord, on You I cast my burden--
Sink it in the deepest sea!
Let me know Your gracious pardon,
Cleanse me from iniquity.
Let Your Spirit leave me never;
Make me only Yours forever.
