Approach, My Soul, the Mercy Seat
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #373 (2023) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy seat,
where Jesus answers pray'r;
there humbly fall before His feet,
for none can perish there.
2 Thy promise is my only plea,
with this I venture nigh;
Thou callest burdened souls to Thee,
and such, O Lord, am I.
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
by Satan sorely pressed,
by wars without, and fears within,
I come to Thee for rest.
4 Be Thou my shield and hiding place,
that, sheltered near Thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
and tell him Thou hast died.
5 O wondrous love, to bleed and die,
to bear the cross and shame,
that guilty sinners such as I,
might plead Thy gracious name.
6 "Poor tempest-tosséd soul, be still,
my promised grace receive";
'tis Jesus speaks; I must, I will,
I can, I do believe.

Before thy throne of grace;
God of our fathers, be the God
Of their succeeding race.

Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our Father’s loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.

The more shall he receive.

As Thine in heaven to be! Topics: The Christian Life Trust; Epiphany, Fourth Sunday; Lent, First Sunday; Lent, Second Sunday; Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD

Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #454 (1941) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Unuttered or exprest,
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 contrite sinner's voice
Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice
And cry, "Behold, he prays!"
5 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath,
The Christian's native air,
His watchword at the gates of death--
He enters heaven with pray'r.
6 The saints in prayer appear as one
In word and deed and mind,
While with the Father and the Son
Sweet fellowship they find.
7 Nor prayer is made by man alone--
The Holy Spirit pleads,
And Jesus on th'eternal throne
For sinners intercedes.
8 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.
Amen. Topics: Prayer Scripture: Luke 11:1 Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD

O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Almighty Lord, before Thy Throne
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #579 (1941) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Lord, before Thy throne
Thy mourning people bend;
'Tis on Thy grace in Christ alone
Our failing hopes depend.
2 Dark judgments from Thy heavy hand
Thy dreadful pow'r display;
Yet mercy spares this guilty land,
And still we live to pray.
3 How changed, alas, are truths divine
For error, guilt, and shame!
What impious numbers, bold in sin,
Disgrace the Christian name!
4 Oh turn us, turn us, mighty Lord;
Convert us by Thy grace!
Then shall our hearts obey Thy word,
And see again Thy face.
5 Then, should insulting foes invade,
We shall not yield to fear,
Secure of all-sufficient aid
When God in Christ is near.
Amen.
