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.

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

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.
