Lord, teach us how to pray aright

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 225 hymnals Topics: Heart contrition of Lyrics: Lord, teach us how to pray aright, With reverence and with fear; Though dust and ashes in Thy sight, We may, we must draw near. We perish if we cease from prayer; Oh! grant us power to pray; And when to meet Thee we prepare, Lord, meet us by the way. Burden'd with guilt, convinced of sin, In weakness, want, and woe, Fightings without, and fears within, Lord, whither shall we go? God of all grace, we bring to Thee A broken, contrite heart; Give, what Thine eye delights to see, Truth in the inward part. Give deep humility; the sense Of godly sorrow give; A strong, desiring confidence To hear Thy voice and live;-- Faith in the only Sacrifice That can for sin atone; To cast our loves, to fix our eyes On Christ, on Christ alone;-- Patience to watch, and wait, and weep, Though mercy long delay; Courage, our fainting souls to keep, And trust Thee though Thou slay. 70 Give these, and then Thy will be done; Thus, strenghen'd with all might, We, through Thy Spirit and Thy Son, Shall pray, and pray aright.

Out of the depths I cry to Thee

Author: Martin Luther Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Contrition Lyrics: 1 Our of the depths I cry to Thee, Lord God, O hear my wailing! Thy gracious ear incline to me, And make my prayer availing! On my misdeeds in mercy look, O deign to blot them from Thy book, Or who can stand before Thee? 2 Thou canst be merciful while just,-- This is my hope's foundation; On Thy redeeming grace I trust,-- Grant me, then, Thy salvation. Shielded by Thee, I stand secure; Thy word is firm, Thy promise sure, And I rely upon Thee. 3 Like those who watch for midnight's hour To hail the dawning morrow, I wait for Thee, I trust Thy power, Unmoved by doubt or sorrow. So thus let Israel hope in Thee, And he shall find Thy mercy free, And Thy redemption plenteous. 4 Where'er the greatest sins abound, By grace they are exceeded; Thy helping hand is always found With aid, where aid is needed: Thy hand, the only hand to save, Will rescue Israel from the grace, And pardon his transgression. Amen. Used With Tune: LUTHER'S HYMN
