Lord, teach us how to pray aright

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 225 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright with reverence and with fear: though dust and ashes in Your 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 You we prepare, Lord, meet us by the way. 3 God of all grace, we bring to You a broken contrite heart; give what Your eye delights to view — truth in the inward part; 4 Faith in the only sacrifice that can for sin atone; to place our hopes, to fix our eyes, on Christ, and Christ alone. 5 Patience to watch and weep and wait, whatever You may send; courage that will not hesitate to trust You to the end. 6 Give these, and then Your will be done; thus, strengthened with all might, we, through Your Spirit and Your Son, shall pray, and pray aright.

Why Doth the Lord Stand Off So Far?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Why doth the Lord stand off so far? And why conceal His face, When great calamities appear, And times of deep distress? 2. Lord, shall the wicked still deride Thy justice and Thy power? Shall they advance their heads in pride, And still Thy saints devour? 3. They put Thy judgments from their sight, And then insult the poor; They boast in their exalted height, That they shall fall no more. 4. Arise, O God, lift up Thine hand, Attend our humble cry; No enemy shall dare to stand When God ascends on high. 5. Why do the men of malice rage, And say, with foolish pride, The God of Heav’n will ne’er engage To fight on Zion’s side? 6. But Thou forever art our Lord; And powerful is Thine hand, As when the heathens felt Thy sword, And perished from Thy land. 7. Thou wilt prepare our hearts to pray, And cause Thine ear to hear; He hearkens what His children say, And puts the world in fear. 8. Proud tyrants shall no more oppress, No more despise the just; And mighty sinners shall confess They are but earth and dust. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-1709

Yonder Amazing Sight I See

Author: Samuel Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals First Line: Yonder—amazing sight!—I see Lyrics: 1 Yonder—amazing sight!—I see Th’incarnate Son of God, Expiring on the accursèd tree, And weltering in His blood. 2 Behold a purple torrent run Down from His hands and head: The crimson tide puts out the sun; His groans awake the dead. 3 The trembling earth, the darkened sky, Proclaim the truth aloud; And with th’amazed centurion cry, "This is the Son of God." 4 So great, so vast a sacrifice, May well my hope revive: If God’s own Son thus bleeds and dies, The sinner sure may live. 5 O that these cords of love divine, Might draw me, Lord to Thee, Thou hast my heart, it shall be Thine— Thine it shall ever be!

See, Gracious God, Before Thy Throne

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See, gracious God, before Thy throne Thy mourning people bend! ’Tis on Thy sovereign grace alone, Our humble hopes depend. 2 Tremendous judgments from Thy hand, Thy dreadful power display: Yet mercy spares this guilty land, And yet we live to pray. 3 Great God, and why this nation spare, Ungrateful as we are? O be these awful warnings heard, While mercy cries, Forebear. 4 What numerous crimes increasing rise, Where Satan shows his smile? What land so favored of the skies, And yet what land so vile? 5 How changed, alas! are truths divine, For error, guilt and shame! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the Christian name! 6 O bid us turn, almighty Lord, By Thy resistless grace; Then shall our hearts obey Thy word, And humble seek Thy face. 7 Then should insulting foes invade, We shall not sink in fear; Secure of never failing aid, If God, our God, is near.
