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)
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire
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.

meekness and mercy and slighted your word;
bid not your wrath in its terrors awaken.
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
3 God, the all-righteous, we have defied you;
yet to eternity firm stands your word:
falsehood and wrong shall not stand long beside you.
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

Though the thick darkness your Kingdom is hastening.

How clear is our vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903- Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Discipleship Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call:
to live according to your Word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored
that you are Lord of all
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear,
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We mark your saints, how they became
in hindrances more sure,
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines and ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you–
the cross you hung upon—
all you endeavored done. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Used With Tune: REPTON
How clear is our vocation, Lord
King of glory, King of peace
Author: George Herbert, 1593-1633 Meter: 7.4.7.4 D Appears in 63 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Discipleship Lyrics: 1 King of glory, King of peace,
I will love thee,
and, that love may never cease,
I will move thee.
Thou hast granted my request,
thou hast heard me;
thou didst note my working breast;
thou hast spared me.
2 Wherefore with my utmost art,
I will sing thee,
and the cream of all my heart
I will bring thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
thou didst clear me,
and alone, when they replied,
thou didst hear me.
3 Seven whole days, not one in seven,
I will praise thee;
in my heart, though not in heaven,
I can raise thee.
Small it is, in this poor sort
to enrol thee:
e'en eternity's too short
to extol thee. Scripture: Psalm 119:164 Used With Tune: GWALCHMAI
King of glory, King of peace
