Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854 Appears in 849 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed; 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 it the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air; His watchword at the gates of death, He enters heaven with prayer. 6 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. Used With Tune: LAMBETH

Let my lips speak forth His praise; All for Jesus! all for Jesus! Let my lips speak forth His praise. 3 Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus, I've lost sight of all beside; So enchained my spirit's vision, Looking at the Crucified. All for Jesus! all for Jesus! Looking at the Crucified; All for Jesus! all for Jesus! Looking at the Crucified. 4 Oh, what wonder! how amazing! Jesus, glorious King of kings, Deigns to call me His beloved, Lets me rest beneath His wings. All for Jesus! all for Jesus! Resting now beneath His wings; All for Jesus! all for Jesus! Resting now beneath His wings. Used With Tune: [All for Jesus, all for Jesus!]

Author: Cardinal J. H. Newman, 1801-1890 Appears in 1,225 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on. The night is dark, and I am far from home; Lead Thou me on. Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on, I loved the garish day, and spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long Thy power hath blessed me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone, And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
