The Light from Within

Author: Jones Very Hymnal: BHPPD866 #91 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: I Saw on earth another light Lyrics: I saw on earth another light Than that which lit my eye Come forth, as from my soul within, And from a higher sky. Its beams still shone unclouded on, When in the distant west The sun I once had known had sunk Forever to his rest. And on I walked, though dark the night, Nor rose his orb by day; As one to whom a surer guide Was pointing out the way. ’Twas brighter far than noonday’s beam, It shone from God within; And lit, as by a lamp from heaven, The world’s dark track of sin.

Silent Worship

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #92 (1866) First Line: Wouldst thou in thy lonely hour Lyrics: Wouldst thou in thy lonely hour Praises to the Eternal pour? I will teach thy soul to be Temple, hymn, and harmony. Sweeter songs than poets sing Thou shalt for thine offering bring; Softly murmured hymns, that dwell In devotion’s deepest cell. Know that music’s holiest strain Loves to linger, loves to reign, In that calm of quiet thought Which the passions trouble not. Wouldst thou in thy lonely hour Praises to the Eternal pour? Thus thy soul may learn to be Temple, hymn, and harmony. Languages: English

Quiet Worship

Hymnal: BHPPD866 #93 (1866) First Line: Open, Lord, mine inward ear Lyrics: Open, Lord, mine inward ear, And bid my heart rejoice; Bid my quiet spirit hear The comfort of Thy voice; Never in the whirlwind found, Or where earthquakes rock the place, Still and silent is the sound, The whisper of Thy grace. From the world of sin, and noise, And hurry, I withdraw; For the small and inward voice I wait with humble awe; Silent am I now and still, Will not in Thy presence move; To my waiting soul reveal The secret of Thy love! Languages: English

Retirement

Author: Cowper Hymnal: BHPPD866 #94 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Far from the world, O Lord! I flee Lyrics: Far from the world, O Lord! I flee, From strife and tumult far; From scenes where sin is waging still Its most successful war. The calm retreat, the silent shade, With prayer and praise agree; And seem by Thy sweet bounty made, For those who follow Thee. There, if Thy presence cheer the soul, And grace her mean abode, O, with what peace, and joy, and love, She communes with her God! There, like the nightingale, she pours Her solitary lays; Nor asks a witness of her song, Nor thirsts for human praise. Author and Guardian of my life, Sweet source of light divine, And,—all harmonious names in one,— My Father! Thou art mine! Languages: English

Habitual Devotion

Author: H. M. Williams Hymnal: BHPPD866 #95 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: While Thee I seek, protecting Power! Lyrics: While Thee I seek, protecting Power! Be my vain wishes stilled; And may this consecrated hour With better hopes be filled. Thy love the powers of thought bestowed; To Thee my thoughts would soar; Thy mercy o’er my life has flowed; That mercy I adore! In each event of life, how clear Thy ruling hand I see! Each blessing to my soul more dear, Because conferred by Thee. In every joy that crowns my days, In every pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise, Or seek relief in prayer. When gladness wings my favored hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill; Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet Thy will. My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storm shall see; My steadfast heart shall know no fear; That heart shall rest on Thee! Languages: English

The Heart’s Prayer

Author: Moore Hymnal: BHPPD866 #96 (1866) Meter: Irregular First Line: As, down in the sunless retreats of the ocean Lyrics: As, down in the sunless retreats of the ocean, Sweet flowers are springing no mortal can see, So, deep in my soul, the still prayer of devotion, Unheard by the world, rises, silent, to Thee, My God! silent, to Thee,— Pure, warm, silent, to Thee. As still to the star of its worship, though clouded, The needle points faithfully o’er the dim sea, So, dark when I roam, in this wintry world shrouded, The hope of my spirit turns, trembling, to Thee, My God! trembling, to Thee,— True, sure, trembling, to Thee. Languages: English

Pray Without Ceasing

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #97 (1866) First Line: Go when the morning shineth Lyrics: Go when the morning shineth, Go when the noon is bright, Go when the eve declineth, Go in the hush of night; Go with pure mind and feeling, Put earthly thoughts away, And, in God’s presence kneeling, Do thou in secret pray. Remember all who love thee, All who are loved by thee; Pray, too, for those who hate thee, If any such there be; Then for thyself, in meekness, A blessing humbly claim, And blend with each petition Thy great Redeemer’s name. Or, if ’tis e’er denied thee In solitude to pray, Should holy thoughts come o’er thee When friends are round thy way, E’en then, the silent breathing Thy spirit lifts above Will reach His throne of glory, Where dwells eternal love. O, not a joy or blessing With this can we compare,— The grace our Father gives us To pour our souls in prayer: Whene’er thou pin’st in sadness, On Him who saveth, call! Remember, in thy gladness, His love who gave thee all. Languages: English

All Must Pray

Author: Mrs. Hemans Hymnal: BHPPD866 #98 (1866) First Line: Child, amidst the flowers at play Lyrics: Child, amidst the flowers at play, While the red light fades away; Mother, with thine earnest eye, Ever following silently; Father, by the breeze of eve Called thy daily toil to leave; Pray! ere yet the dark hours be, Lift the heart, and bend the knee! Traveller in the stranger’s land, Far from thine own household band; Mourner, haunted by the tone Of a voice from this world gone; Captive, in whose narrow cell Sunshine hath not leave to dwell; Sailor, on the darkening sea, Lift the heart, and bend the knee! Ye that triumph, ye that sigh, Kindred by one holy tie, Heaven’s first star alike ye see; Lift the heart, and bend the knee! Languages: English

What is Prayer?

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: BHPPD866 #99 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Prayer is the soul's sincere desire Lyrics: Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, Unuttered or expressed, The motion of a hidden fire, That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, The Christian’s native air, His watchword at the gates of death; He enters heaven with prayer. Prayer is the contrite sinner’s voice Returning from his ways; While angels in their songs rejoice, And cry, “Behold, he prays!” In prayer, on earth, the saints are one; They’re one in word and mind; When with the Father and the Son Sweet fellowship they find. 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! Languages: English

Prayer the Life of the Soul

Author: Hart Hymnal: BHPPD866 #100 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Prayer is to God the soul's sure way Lyrics: Prayer is to God the soul’s sure way; So flows the grace he waits to give; Long as they live should Christians pray; They learn to pray when first they live. If pain afflict, or wrongs oppress, If cares distract, or fears dismay, If guilt deject, if sin distress, In every need, still watch and pray. ’Tis prayer supports the soul that’s weak, Though poor and broken be its word; Pray if thou canst, or canst not, speak; The breathings of the soul are heard. Depend on Him; thou shalt prevail; Make all thy wants and wishes known; Fear not, His mercy will not fail; Ask but in faith, it shall be done. Languages: English
