"Watch and pray"
Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #645 (1844) Topics: Prayer and Watchfulness First Line: Dangerous is the path we go Lyrics: 1 Dangerous is the path we go,
In this wilderness below,
Savage beasts, of every kind,
Aiming to distress the mind.
2 Scarce an hour but pilgrims see
They from danger are not free;
In some unexpected way,
Something fills them with dismay.
3 Thus beset, they daily feel
They have neither strength nor skill
Rightly to oppose the foe,
Or to guard against the woe.
4 How, then, can they persevere?
Must they of the prize despair?
No; ’tis theirs to watch and pray,
For the Lord will guard the way.
5 Christ the Master, Lord of all,
Bids his children watch and call;
May it be our blessed case,
Both to watch and seek his face.
6 When we watch, then may we pray,
And in prayer watch every day;
And with pleasure ever prove
All our strength is from above.
7 [Thus supported, we shall be
More than conquerors, Lord, through thee;
And when every danger’s past,
Live and reign with thee at last.] Languages: English

"Watch and be sober"
Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #644 (1844) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Prayer and Watchfulness First Line: Watch, watch and be sober, ye children of God Lyrics: 1 Watch, watch, and be sober, ye children of God;
Your wonderful Lover has bought you with blood;
Your Husband and Saviour for you gave his life;
Then be your behaviour becoming his wife.
2 O watch against trusting to your native strength;
Behold Peter boasting, but o’ercome at length;
Your strength will forsake you, and leave you to fall,
Unless the Lord make you to trust him for all.
3 Treat all as deceivers that lead not to Christ;
As holy believers, rely on your Priest;
Watch ye against sleeping, and stand to your post,
Lest you should go weeping, while Canaanites boast.
4 By awful temptations attacked and distressed,
Though thousand vexations each moment molest,
Yet watch against falling, and yield not to doubt,
On Christ your Lord calling, your foes you shall rout. Languages: English

Sweet Hour of Prayer
Author: William W. Walford, 1772-1850 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #383 (2006) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness 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 the 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.
3 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height,
I view my home, and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout, while passing through the air,
Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer! Languages: English Tune Title: [Sweet hour of prayer]
Sweet Hour of Prayer
Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #387 (2006) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness 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 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 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.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: NAOMI
Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire
Tis the Blessed Hour of Prayer
Author: Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #399 (2006) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness Refrain First Line: Blessed hour of prayer Lyrics: 1 ’Tis the blessèd hour of prayer, when our hearts lowly bend,
And we gather to Jesus, our Saviour and Friend;
If we come to Him in faith, His protection to share,
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there!
Refrain:
Blessèd hour of prayer,
Blessèd hour of prayer;
What a balm for the weary!
O how sweet to be there!
2 ’Tis the blessèd hour of prayer, when the Savior draws near,
With a tender compassion His children to hear;
When He tells us we may cast at His feet every care,
What a balm for the weary, O how sweet to be there! (Refrain)
3 ’Tis the blessèd hour of prayer, when the tempted and tried
To the Savior Who loves them their sorrow confide;
With a sympathizing heart He removes every care;
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there! (Refrain)
4 At the blessèd hour of prayer, trusting Him we believe
That the blessing we’re needing we’ll surely receive;
In the fullness of this trust we shall lose every care;
What a balm for the weary! O how sweet to be there! (Refrain) Languages: English Tune Title: ['Tis the blessed hour of prayer]

Exhortation to Prayer
Author: Cowper Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #394 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prayer and Watchfulness First Line: What various hindrances we meet Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet,
In coming to the mercy-seat!
Yet who that knows the worth of prayer,
But wishes to be often there?
2 Prayer makes the darkened cloud withdraw,
Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw;
Gives exercise to faith and love;
Brings every blessing from above.
3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight;
Prayer makes the Christian’s armour bright;
And Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.
4 [While Moses stood with arms spread wide,
Success was found on Israel’s side;
But when, through weariness, they failed,
That moment Amalek prevailed.]
5 [Have you no words? ah! think again;
Words flow apace when you complain,
And fill your fellow-creatures’ ear
With the sad tale of all your care.
6 Were half the breath thus vainly spent,
To heaven in supplication sent,
Your cheerful song would oftener be,
“Hear what the Lord has done for me.”] Languages: English

Flows from Calvary’s mountain.

Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Sheds its beams around me. (Refrain)

Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadows o’er me. (Refrain)
4 Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river. (Refrain) Languages: English Tune Title: [Jesus, keep me near the cross]

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Author: Joseph Scriven, 1819-1886 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #397 (2006) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge-—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there. Languages: English Tune Title: [What a Friend we have in Jesus]
