"Sweet hour"
Author: W. W. Walford Hymnal: Laudes Domini #62 (1890) Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! Lyrics: 1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me, at my Father's throne,
Make all my wants and wishes known;
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter's snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To him, whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless:
And, since he bids me seek his face,
Believe his word, and trust his grace,
I'll cast on him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! Languages: English Tune Title: SWEET HOUR

"Behold he prays"
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #69 (1888) Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: Prayer is the soul's sincere desire 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 Christian's vital breath,
The Christian's native air:
His watchword at the gates of death--
He enters heaven with prayer.
5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice,
Returning from his ways;
While angels in their songs rejoice,
And cry--"Behold he prays!"
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. Scripture: Ezekiel 36:37 Languages: English Tune Title: BYEFIELD
"Behold he prays"
Prayer has power
Author: John A. Wallace Hymnal: Laudes Domini #32 (1890) Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: There is an eye that never sleeps Lyrics: 1 There is an eye that never sleeps
Beneath the wing of night;
There is an ear that never shuts
When sink the beams of light.
2 There is an arm that never tires,
When human strength gives way;
There is a love that never fails,
When earthly loves decay.
3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs;
That arm upholds the sky;
That ear is filled with angel songs;
That love is throned on high.
4 But there's a power which man can wield
When mortal aid is vain,
That eye, that arm, that love to reach,
That listening ear to gain.
5 That power is prayer, which soars on high,
Through Jesus, to the throne;
And moves the hand which moves the world,
To bring salvation down! Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHPORT
Prayer has power
The hour of prayer
Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Laudes Domini #39 (1890) Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: My God, is any hour so sweet Lyrics: 1 My God, is any hour so sweet,
From blush of morn to evening star,
As that which calls me to thy feet
The hour of prayer?
2 Then is my strength by thee renewed;
Then are my sins by thee forgiven;
Then dost thou cheer my solitude,
With hopes of heaven.
3 No words can tell what sweet relief
Here for my every want I find;
What strength for warfare, balm for grief,
What peace of mind!
4 Hushed is each doubt, gone every fear;
My spirit seems in heaven to stay;
And ev'n the penitential tear
Is wiped away.
5 Lord, till I reach yon blissful shore,
No privilege so dear shall be
As thus my inmost soul to pour
In prayer to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: RISEHOLME

A prayer in need
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #47 (1890) Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: Come, my soul, thy suit prepare Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare,
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He himself has bid thee pray,
Therefore will not say thee nay.
2 With my burden I begin:
Lord! remove this load of sin;
Let thy blood, for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.
3 Lord! I come to thee for rest;
Take possession of my breast;
There, thy blood-bought right maintain,
And, without a rival, reign.
4 While I am a pilgrim here,
Let thy love my spirit cheer;
As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend,
Lead me to my journey's end.
5 Show me what I have to do,
Every hour my strength renew;
Let me live a life of faith,
Let me die thy people's death. Languages: English Tune Title: HENDON

Yields comfort to the mourning soul,
And to the weary rest.
3 When God inclines the heart to pray,
He hath an ear to hear;
To him there's music in a sigh,
And beauty in a tear.

God is present everywhere. Languages: English
