I want an Heart to pray
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXXX (1791) Topics: liturgical Prayer Songs Lyrics: 1 I want an Heart to pray;
To pray, and never cease:
Never to Murmur at thy Stay,
Or with my Suff'rings less.

Always to pray, I want;
Out of the Deep on thee to call,
And never, never faint.
3 I want a true Regard,
A single, steady Aim,
(Unmov'd by Threatning, or Reward--)
To thee, and thy great Name.
4 A jealous just Concern
For thine immortal Praise;
A pure Desire, that all may learn
And glorify thy Grace.
5 I want with all my Heart
Thy Pleasure to fulfil;
To know myself, and what thou art,
And what thy perfect Will.
6 I want, I know not what;
I want my Wants to see:
I want, alas! what want I not,
When thou art not in me? Languages: English

High Priest for sinners, Jesus, Lord
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #71 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Prayers, our Saviour's Lyrics:
High Priest for sinners, Jesus, Lord!
Whom as a Man of Griefs I see
Thy prayers on earth, while I record,
If still in heaven Thou pray'st for me,
My soul, for thy soul's travail claim,
I seek salvation in Thy name.
Baptized as for the dead He rose,
With prayer from Jordan's hallow'd flood,
Ere long by persecuting foes,
To be baptized in His own blood,
The Father's voice proclaim'd the Son,
The spirit witness'd--These are One.
Early He rose, ere dawn of day,
And to a desert place withdrew;
76
There was He wont to watch and pray,
Until His locks were wet with dew,
And birds below, and beams above,
Had warn'd Him thence to works of love.
At evening, when His toils were o'er,
He sent the multitudes away,
And on the mountain or the shore,
All night remain'd to watch and pray,
Till o'er His head the stars grew dim,
When was the hour of rest for Him?
In field or city, while He taught,
Oft went His spirit forth in sighs;
And when His mightiest deeds were wrought,
To heaven he lifted up His eyes:
He pray'd at Lazarus' grave and shed
Tears with the word that waked the dead.
When mothers brought their babes, He took
The lambs into His arms, and pray'd;
On Tabor, His transfigured look,
While praying, turn'd the sun to shade,
And forms, too pure for human sight,
Grew visible amidst that light.
"O Father! save me from this hour,
Yet for this hour to earth I came,"
He pray'd in weakness; then, with power
Cried, "Father! glorify Thy name;"
--"I have," a voice from heaven replied,
"And still it shall be glorified."
77
For Peter, bold in speech and brave
In act, yet in temptation frail,
(As once he proved when on the wave),
Christ pray'd lest his weak faith should fail;
And when by Satan's snare enthrall'd,
His eye the wanderer recall'd.
Amidst His mournful family,
Who soon must see His face no more,
With what divine discourse did He
Strength to their fainting souls restore!
Then pray'd for all His people,--where
Have words recorded such a prayer?
Next, with strong cries and bitter tears,
Thrice hallow'd He that doleful ground,
Where, trembling with mysterious fears,
His sweat, like blood-drops, fell around,
And, being in an agony,
He prayed yet more earnestly.
Here oft in spirit let me, kneel,
Share in the speechless griefs I see,
And, while He felt what I should feel,
Feel all His power of love to me,
Break my hard heart, and grace supply
For Him, who died for me, to die.
Stretch'd on the ignominious tree,
For those, whose hands had nail'd Him there,
78
Who stood and mock'd His misery,
He offer'd up his latest prayer;
Then with the voice of victory cried,
"Tis finish'd!" bow'd His head, and died.
There all His prayers were answer'd;--all
The fruits of His soul's travail gain'd;
The cup of wormwood and of gall,
Down to the dregs His lips had drain'd;
Accomplish'd was the Eternal plan,
He tasted death for every man.
Now by the throne of God He stands,
Aloft the golden censer bears,
And offers, with high priestly hands,
Pure incense with his people's prayers;
Well pleased the Father eyes, the Son,
And says to each request, "Tis done."

High Priest for sinners, Jesus, Lord
Resolv'd to watch o'er all my Ways
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXXIX (1767) Topics: Prayers Of the Church Particularly of Believers when offended at the Prosperity of the Wicked; Prayers When percecuted; Prayers When sick; Prayers Of a Sinner to obtain Forgiveness of Sins Lyrics: 1 Resolv'd to watch o'er all my Ways,
I strove to keep my Tongue in Awe;
And curb'd with Care, my hasty Words,
When I the prosp'rous wicked saw;
From good Discourse I did refrain,
But that increas'd my inward Pain.
2 My Heart did glow, which working Thoughts,
Did in my Bosom restless make;
And warm Reflection fann'd the Fire,
'Till with my Tongue at last I spake:
And thus with eager Zeal express'd,
The Thought that labor'd in my Breast.
3 LORD, let me know my Term of Days,
And show how soon my Life will end;
The num'rous Train of Ills disclose,
Which still on this frail State attend:
A Span will measure all my Years,
My Life but Vanity appears.
4 Man, like a Shadow, vainly walks,
With fruitless Cares opprest;
He heaps up Wealth, but cannot tell,
By whom 'twill be possess'd'
Why should I then on Toys attend,
My Hopes on thee shall still depend.
Part II
5 Forgive my Sins, nor let me scorn'd,
By proud disdainful Sinners, be;
I silent was, and murmur'd not,
Because I saw 'twas done by thee.
The Burden of thy Wrath remove,
Lest my frail Flesh too weak should prove.
6 For when thou chast'nest Man for Sin,
Thou mak'st his Beauty soon to fade;
It wastes away ev'n like a Cloth,
That is by fretting Moths decay'd:
So vain in ev'ry earthly Joy,
And Life itself is but a Toy.
7 LORD, hear my Cry, accept my Tears,
And listen to my humble Pray'r,
Who sojourn like a Stranger here,
As all my Fore-fathers likewise were.
Oh spare me, and my Strength restore,
Before I shall be seen no more! Scripture: Psalm 39 Languages: English Tune Title: [Resolv'd to watch o'er all my Ways]

To thee my prayer ascend;
In Thy abounding love and truth,
O God, salvation send.
2 Preserve my sinking soul, I pray,
From tides of hatred save;
Let not the waters overflow,
Redeem me from the grave.
3 Because Thy mercy, Lord, is good,
O answer me in grace,
And in the riches of Thy love
O turn to me Thy face.
4 Hide not Thy face from my distress,
A speedy answer send;
Draw near to me, my soul redeem,
From all my foes defend.
5 Well known to Thee is my reproach,
My shame and my disgrace;
The adversaries of my soul
Are all before Thy face.
6 My heart is broken by reproach,
My soul is full of grief;
I looked in vain for comforters,
For pity and relief.
7 They gave me bitter gall for food,
And taunting words they spake;
They gave me vinegar to drink,
My burning thirst to slake.
8 Their peace and plenty be their snare,
In blindness let them grope;
Thy indignation on them pour,
And desolate their hope.
9 Because they proudly persecute
Those whom Thou, Lord, dost smite,
Let them be blotted from Thy book
And banished from Thy sight.

The Lord's Prayer
O God, defender of the poor
Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #3 (1997) Topics: Prayer / Prayers / Poems Lyrics: 1 O God, defender of the poor,
have mercy when I pray:
you listened to my prayer before–
LORD, hear my prayer today!
2 How long will people choose vain things,
love empty words and wrong?
They scorn to serve the King of kings–
O living God, how long?
3 The saints, O LORD, you set apart
by grace to be your own:
let sinners tremble, search their hearts
and bow before your throne.
4 While many pray that you will bless
and bring them all they need,
unless they long for holiness,
their prayers are vain indeed.
5 Your light, O Lord, let us receive;
your face within us shine,
for richer is the joy you give
than all their grain and wine.
6 And even when I turn to sleep
your blessings still increase,
for you alone, O Lord, will keep
your child in perfect peace. Scripture: Psalm 4 Languages: English Tune Title: LIVERPOOL

LORD, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXLIII (1767) Topics: Prayers Of a Sinner to obtain Forgiveness of Sins; Prayers When surrounded by Enemies Lyrics: 1 LORD, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry
Thy wonted Audience lend;
In thy accustom'd Faith and Truth,
A gracious Answer send,
Nor to thy Justice bring
Thy servant strictly to be try'd;
For no frail mortal Man
Can in thy Sight be justify'd,
2 The spiteful Foe pursues my Life,
Whose Comforts all are fled;
He drives me into Caves as dark
As Mansions of the Dead.
My Spirit is o'erwhelm'd,
And therefore sinks within my Breast;
My Heart grows desolate,
With heavy Woes too much oppress'd.
3 I call to mind the Days of old,
And Wonders thou hast wrought,
My former Dangers and Escapes
Employ my musing Thought.
To thee my in humble Pray'r,
My Hands I fervently stretch out;
My Soul for Comfort thirsts,
Like Land oppress'd with constant Drought.
4 Hear me with Speed, my Spirit fails,
Thy Face no longer hide;
Lest I become forlorn, like them
That in the Grave reside.
Thy Kindness let me hear,
Whose Trust on thee alone depends;
Teach me thy perfect Way,
For still my Soul to thee ascends.
5 Do thou, O LORD, from all my Foes,
Preserve, and set me free;
A safe Retreat against their Rage,
My Soul implores from thee.
Thy righteous Will, O GOD,
Instruct me ever to obey;
Let thy good Spirit lead
And keep my Soul in thy right Way.
6 Oh, for the sake of thy great Name,
Revive my drooping Heart:
For thy Truth's sake, to me distress'd,
Thy promis'd Aid impart.
In Pity to my Grief,
Do thou reduce my Foes to shame;
Slay them that vex my Soul,
Devoted to thy holy Name. Scripture: Psalm 143 Languages: English Tune Title: [Lord, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry]
LORD, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry

Hymnal: The Psalter #92 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prayer confidence in; Prayer Imprecations in; Salvation Prayers for; The Wicked Prayers for Punishment of First Line: Be Thou my helper in the strife Lyrics: 1 Be Thou my helper in the strife,
O Lord, my strong defender be;
Thy mighty shield protect my life,
Thy spear confront the enemy,
Amid the conflict, O my Lord,
Thy precious promise let me hear,
The faithful, reassuring word:
I am thy Saviour, do not fear.
2 Ashamed, confounded let them be
Who seek my ruin and disgrace;
O let Thy angel fight for me,
And drive my foes before his face.
Without a cause my life they sought,
Without a case their plots they laid;
Themselves within their snares be caught,
And be my crafty foes dismayed.
3 My soul is joyful in the Lord,
In His salvation I rejoice;
To Him my heart will praise accord
And bless His Name with thankful voice.
For who, O Lord, is like to Thee,
Defender of the poor and meek?
The needy Thy salvation see
When mighty foes their ruin seek.
4 Unrighteous witnesses have stood
And told of crimes beyond belief;
Returning evil for my good,
They overwhelm my soul with grief.
When in affliction they were sad,
I wept and made their grief my own;
But in my trouble they are glad
And strive that I may be o'erthrown.
5 O Lord, how long wilt Thou delay?
My soul for Thy salvation waits;
My thankfulness I will display
Amid the crowds that throng Thy gates.
Let not my enemies rejoice
And wrongfully exult o'er me;
They speak not peace, but lift their voice
To trouble those that peaceful be.
6 My foes with joy my woes survey,
but Thou, O Lord, hast seen it all;
O be no longer far away,
Nor silent when on Thee I call.
O haste to my deliverance now,
O Lord, my righteous cause maintain;
My Lord and God alone art Thou;
Awake, and make thy justice plain.
7 O Lord my God, I look to Thee,
Be Thou my righteous Judge, I pray;
Let not my foes exult o'er me
And laugh with joy at my dismay.
With shame and trouble those requite
Who would my righteous cause destroy;
But those who in the good delight,
Let them be glad and shout for joy.
8 Yea, let the Lord be magnified,
Because Thy servants Thou dost bless;
And I, from morn till eventide,
Will daily praise Thy righteousness.
My soul is joyful in the Lord,
In His salvation I rejoice;
To Him my heart will praise accord
And bless His Name with thankful voice.
