Refrain: Go search it out and bring it home, No more in darkness let it roam; You’ll find it there in dreadful plight, Oh! go and bring it back tonight. 2 The ninety-nine are safe today, They’re all at home, so fully blest, But one is wand’ring far away, Upon the mountain’s snowy crest. [Refrain] 3 The ninety-nine with care are fed, And rest within the Shepherd’s fold; But one is starving, nearly dead, Upon the mountains bare and cold. [Refrain] 4 The Shepherd dear, aloud doth weep Because one lamb afar doth roam; The ninety-nine He’ll safely keep— We’ll seek that lamb and bring it home.

Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 849 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:10 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 simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 3 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways; While angels in their songs rejoice And cry, "Behold, he prays!" 4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air, His watchword at the gates of death: He enters heav'n 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. Used With Tune: CAMPMEETING

Oh, may we all one bread, one body be, one through this sacrament of unity. 2 For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede; make thou our sad divisions soon to cease; draw us the nearer each to each, we plead, by drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace; thus may we all one bread, one body be, one through this sacrament of unity. 3 We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold; O bring them back, good Shepherd of the sheep, back to the faith which saints believed of old, back to the Church which still that faith doth keep; soon may we all one bread, one body be, one through this sacrament of unity. 4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease, may we be one with all thy Church above, one with thy saints in one unbroken peace, one with thy saints in one unbounded love: more blessèd still, in peace and love to be one with the Trinity in Unity.
