Lord, Teach Us How to Pray Aright
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with rev'rence and with fear;
though dust and ashes in your sight,
we may, we must draw near.
2 O God of grace we come to you
with broken, contrite hearts;
give what your eye delights to view,
truth in the inward parts.
3 Give deep humility; the sense
of godly sorrow give;
a strong desiring confidence
to hear your voice and live;
4 give faith in your great sacrifice
that does for sin atone,
to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes
on Christ, and Christ alone;
5 give patience as we watch and weep,
though mercy long delay;
give courage our faint souls to keep,
and trust you though you slay;
6 give these, and then your will be done;
thus strengthened with all might,
we, through your Spirit and your Son,
shall pray, and pray aright. Topics: Prayer; Confession of Sin; Humility; Prayer; Self-Examination Used With Tune: SOUTHAMPTON

They enjoy the Saviour's peace;
All their sins are washed away;
They shall stand in God's great day:
With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity.

In the works of righteousness;
They are harmless, meek, and mild,
Holy, blameless, undefiled:
With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity.

Children of a heavenly birth;
One with God, with Jesus one;
Glory is in them begun:
With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity. Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification; Privileges of Adoption

We Are Living, We Are Dwelling
Author: Arthur C. Coxe Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 202 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:14-22 Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling;
To be living is sublime.
Hark! the waking up of nations,
Hosts advancing to the fray;
Hark! what soundeth is creation’s
Groaning for the latter day.
2 Will ye play, then? will ye dally
Far behind the battle line?
Up! it is Jehovah’s rally;
God’s own arm hath need of thine.
Worlds are changing, heaven beholding;
Thou hast but an hour to fight;
Now, the blazoned cross unfolding
On, right onward for the right.
3 Sworn to yield, to waver never;
Consecrated, born again;
Sworn to be Christ’s soldiers ever,
O for Christ at last be men!
O let all the soul within you
For the truth’s sake go abroad!
Strike! let every nerve and sinew
Tell on ages, tell for God.
Amen. Used With Tune: AUSTRIAN HYMN

O happy band of pilgrims
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 183 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:16-17 Lyrics: 1 O happy band of pilgrims,
if onward ye will tread,
with Jesus as your fellow,
to Jesus as your Head!
2 O happy if ye labour
as Jesus did for men!
O happy if ye hunger
as Jesus hungered then!
3 The cross that Jesus carried
he carried as your due:
the crown that Jesus weareth
he weareth it for you.
4 The faith by which ye see him,
the hope in which ye yearn,
the love that through all troubles
to him alone will turn,
5 the trials that beset you,
the sorrows ye endure,
the manifold temptations
that death alone can cure.
6 What are they but his jewels
of right celestial worth?
What are they but the ladder
set up to heaven on earth?
7 O happy band of pilgrims,
look upward to the skies,
where such a light affliction
shall win so great a prize. Topics: General Hymns Christian Vocation and Witness Used With Tune: KOCHER

If You But Trust in God to Guide You
Author: Georg Christian Neumark Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 179 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8 Lyrics: 1 If you but trust in God to guide you
and place your confidence in him,
you'll find him always there beside you
to give you hope and strength within;
for those who trust God's changeless love
build on the rock that will not move.
2 Only be still and wait his pleasure
in cheerful hope with heart content.
He fills your needs to fullest measure
with what discerning love has sent;
doubt not our inmost wants are known
to him who chose us for his own.
3 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving,
offer your service faithfully,
and trust his word; though undeserving,
you'll find his promise true to be.
God never will forsake in need
the soul that trusts in him indeed. Topics: Trust and Guidance; Assurance; Deliverance; God--Guidance; Journey; Steadfastness; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: BREMEN Text Sources: Tr. Composite

Shepherd Divine, Our Wants Relieve
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 159 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:16 Lyrics: 1 Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
in this, our evil day;
to all thy tempted foll'wers give
the power to watch and pray.
2 Long as our fiery trials last,
long as the cross we bear,
O let our souls on thee be cast
in never ceasing prayer.
3 Thy Spirit's interceding grace
give us in faith to claim,
to wrestle till we see thy face,
and know thy hidden name.
4 Till thou thy perfect love impart,
till thou thyself bestow,
be this the cry of ev'ry heart:
"I will not let thee go!
5 "I will not let thee go unless
thou tell thy name to me,
with all thy great salvation bless,
and make me all like thee."
6 Then let me on the mountaintop
behold thine open face
where faith in sight is swallowed up,
and prayer in endless praise. Used With Tune: BEDENS BROOK

Jesus, Priceless Treasure
Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 131 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure,
source of purest pleasure,
friend to me so true,
how my heart has panted
and my soul has fainted,
thirsting after you.
Yours I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will suffer nought to hide you,
nought I ask beside you.
2 In your arms I rest me,
foes who would molest me
cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
ev'ry heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear.
Sin and hell in conflict fell
with their bitter storms assail me.
Jesus will not fail me.
3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
though the storms may gather,
still have peace within;
and, whatever I must bear,
still in you lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure! Topics: Trust and Guidance; Christ--Abiding with believers; Christ--All in all; Christ--Protection by; Peace, inner; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FREUDE

Conviction of sin by the law
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 128 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:14 First Line: Lord, how secure my conscience was Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my conscience was,
And felt no inward dread!
I was alive without the law,
And thought my sins were dead.
2 My hopes of heav'n were firm and bright;
But since the precept came
With a convincing pow'r and light,
I find how vile I am.
3 My guilt appear'd but small before,
Till terribly I saw
How perfect, holy, just, and pure,
Was thy eternal law.
4 Then felt my soul the heavy load,
My sins reviv'd again;
I had provok'd a dreadful God,
And all my hopes were slain.
5 I'm like a helpless captive sold
Under the pow'r of sin;
I cannot do the good I would,
Nor keep my conscience clean.
6 My God, I cry with ev'ry breath,
For some kind pow'r to save,
To break the yoke of sin and death,
And thus redeem the slave.
Conviction of sin by the law

When we kneel to pray;
Nearer come and teach us
What we ought to say.
3 Holy Spirit, shine thou
On the book we read;
Gild its holy pages
With the light we need.
4 Holy Spirit, give us
Each a lowly mind;
Make us more like Jesus,
Gentle, pure, and kind.
5 Holy Spirit, keep us
Safe from sins which lie
Hidden by some pleasure
From our youthful eye.
6 Holy Spirit, help us
Daily by thy might,
What is wrong to conquer,
And to choose the right.
Amen. Topics: Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit Prayers to Used With Tune: ERNSTEIN

thousand, thousand thanks are due,
dearest Jesus, unto you.

for the sorrows deep and sore,
for the anguish in the garden,
we will thank you evermore,
thank you for the groaning, sighing,
for the vict'ry of your dying,
for that last triumphant cry,
praise you evermore on high. Topics: Lent; Christ--Atonement; Christ--Sacrifice of; Christ--Temptation of; Christian year--Lent Used With Tune: ZURICH
