Prayer is the soul's sincere desire
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Appears in 864 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Discipleship 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 simplest form of speech
that infant lips can try,
prayer the sublimest strains that reach
the Majesty on high.
3 Prayer is the contrite sinners' voice,
returning to the way,
while angel's in their songs rejoice,
and cry, "Behold, they pray."
4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath,
the Christian's native air;
our watchword at the gates of death,
we enter heaven with prayer.
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. Scripture: Psalm 8:1-2 Used With Tune: REDHEAD 66 (METZLER)

Amazing grace
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807; William Cowper, 1731-1800 Appears in 1,577 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Faith First Line: Amazing grace, how sweet the sound Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.
3 Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come:
'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
4 The Lord has promised good to me;
this word my hope secures;
God will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.
5 What thanks I owe you, and what love–
a boundless, endless store–
shall echo through the realms above
when time shall be no more.
6 When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun.

1 Grâce infinie de notre Dieu
qui un jour m’a sauvé.
J’étais perdu, errant de lieu en lieux
quand il m’a retrouvé.
2 Ma vie fut complètement changée
du moment où j'ai cru.
Depuis ce jour
de tous les dangers,
sa grâce m’a secouru.
3 Dans mes épreuves et mes labeurs
suffisante est sa grâce.
Je peux toujours compter sa faveur
à chaque heure qui passe.
4 Quand nous aurons pendant mille ans
célébré ses louanges,
nous pourrons comme au commencement,
lui offrir nos hommages.
