Author: Robert Bridges (1844-1930); Johann Heermann (1585-1647) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 148 hymnals Topics: Devotion Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended, that man to judge thee hath in hate pretended? By foes derided, by thine own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone thee. 'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied thee: I crucified thee. 3 Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; the slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered; for man's atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was thy incarnation, thy mortal sorrow, and thy life's oblation; thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion, for my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay thee, I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee, think on thy mercy and thy love unswerving, not my deserving.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 864 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion 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 Christians' vital breath, the Christians' 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.

Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 355 hymnals Topics: Devotion Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; Wean it from earth; through all its pulses move; Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, And make me love Thee as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, No sudden rending of the veil of clay, No angel visitant, no opening skies; But take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Hast Thou not bid me love Thee, God and King? All, all Thine own, soul, heart and strength and mind. I see Thy 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 kindling of the heaven-descended Dove, My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame. Amen. Scripture: Galatians 5:25 Used With Tune: MORECAMBE
