Lord of Life and King of Glory

Author: Christian Burke, 1859-c.1915 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #470 (2006) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Home and Family Lyrics: 1 Lord of life and King of glory, Who didst deign a child to be, Cradled on a mother’s bosom, Throned upon a mother’s knee: For the children Thou hast given We must answer unto Thee! 2 Since the day the blessed mother Thee, the world's Redeemer, bore, Thou hast crowned us with an honor Women never knew before; And that we may bear it meetly, We must seek Thine aid the more. 3 Grant us then pure hearts and patient, That in all we do or say Little ones our deeds may copy, And be never led astray; Little feet our steps may follow In a safe and narrow way. 4 When our growing sons and daughters Look on life with eager eyes, Grant us then a deeper insight And new powers of sacrifice: Hope to trust them, faith to guide them, Love that nothing good denies. 5 May we keep our holy calling Stainless in its fair renown, That, when all the work is over And we lay the burdens down, Then the children Thou hast given Still may be our joy and crown. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SICILIAN MARINER'S HYMN

Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #387 (2006) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness 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 the 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 Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air, His watchword at the gates of death; He enters 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. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: NAOMI

Strange fires far from my soul remove; May every act, word, thought, be love. 3 O Love, how cheering is Thy ray! All pain before Thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away Where'er Thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee! 4 Still let Thy love point out my way; What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my work, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 5 In suff'ring be Thy love my peace; In weakness, be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that eventful hour, In death, as life, be Guide and Friend, That I may love Thee without end. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE

And when earth's labors cease, Bid us depart in peace, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE'S OFFERING
