Prayer is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: Rev. James Montgomery Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #422 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sorrow for Sin 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 burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of the eye, When none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air, His watchword at the gates of death; He enters heaven with prayer. 4 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice, And cry, "Behold, he prays!" 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.

Author: Rev. Edward A. Collier Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #11 (1934) Meter: 7.7.6 D Topics: Sorrow for Sin Lyrics: 1 No longer, Lord despise me, Nor in thy wrath chastise me, Thy mercy I implore. How long Thine anger cherish? Consumed thereby I perish; My soul is troubled sore. 2 To me, O Lord, returning, Save Thou, with pity yearning. Shall death Thy memory keep? Or shall the grave confess Thee? Or I give thanks and bless Thee, While day and night I weep? 3 The Lord will ever hear me, And when I pray be near me, To put my foes to shame; Turned back, no more to grieve me, They suddenly shall leave me. All glory to His Name! Scripture: Psalm 6 Languages: English Tune Title: PLEADING
