13. 6s & 5s.
1. OUR Father in heaven,
We hallow thy name!
May thy kingdom holy
On earth be the same!
Oh, give to us daily
Our portion of bread;
It is from thy bounty
That all must be fed.
2. Forgive our transgressions,
And teach us to know
That humble compassion
That pardons each foe;
Keep us from temptation,
From weakness and sin;
And thine be the glory
Forever, amen!
1. PRAYER is the soul's sincere desire, Unutter'd or express'd;
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 contrite sinner's voice
Returning from his ways;
While angels in their songs rejoice,
And say, "Behold, he prays."
1. THE Lord attends when children pray, A whisper he can hear;
He knows not only what we say,
But what we wish or fear.
2. He sees us when we are alone,
Though no one else can see ;
And all our thoughts to him are known,
Wherever we may be.
3. 'Tis not enough to bend the knee,
And words of prayer to say:
The heart must with the lips agree,
Or else we do not pray.
4. Teach us, O Lord, to pray aright,
Thy grace to us impart,
That we in prayer may take delight,
And serve thee with the heart.
5. Then, heavenly Father! at thy throne Thy praise we will proclaim;
And daily our requests make known,
In our Redeemer's name.
1. WHAT various hindrances we meet
In coming to a mercy-seat!
Yet who that knows the worth of prayer
But wishes to be often there?
2. Prayer makes the darken'd 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. Have you no words? Ah, think again :
Words flow apace when you complain,
And fill your fellow-creature's ear
With the sad tale of all your care.
5. Were half the breath thus vainly spent,
To heaven in supplication sent,
Your cheerful song would oftener be,
"Hear what the Lord hath done for me."
1. COME, my soul, thy suit prepare,
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He that bids us humbly pray
Sends us not unbless'd away.
2. Thou art coming to a King,
Large petitions with thee bring;
For his grace and power are such,
None can ever ask too much.
3. Lord, I come to thee for rest,
Take possession of my breast;
There thy sovereign right maintain,
And without a rival reign.
1. LORD, we come before thee now,
At thy feet we humbly bow;
Oh, do not our suit disdain;
Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?
2. Lord, on thee our souls depend;
In compassion now descend;
Fill our hearts with heavenly grace,
Tune our lips to sing thy praise.
3. In thine own appointed way,
Now we seek thee,-here we stray:
Lord, we know not how to go,,
Till a blessing thou bestow.
4. Send some message from thy word
That may joy and peace afford;
Let thy Spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.
1. JESUS, who knows full well
The heart of every saint,
Invites us all our griefs to tell,
To pray and never faint.
2. He bows his gracious ear;
We never plead in vain;
Then let us wait till he appear,
And pray, and pray again.
3. Though unbelief suggest,
Why should we longer wait?
He bids us never give him rest,
But knock at mercy's gate.
1. PRAYER is appointed to convey The blessings God designs to give; Long as they live should Christians pray, For only while they pray they live. 2. If pain afflict or wrongs oppress, If cares distract or fears dismay, If guilt deject, if sin distress,
In every case still watch and pray.
3. 'Tis prayer supports the soul that's weak,
Though thought be broken, language lame;
Pray, if thou canst or canst not speak,
But pray with faith in Jesus' name.
4. Depend on him, thou canst not fail;
Make all thy wants and wishes known;
Fear not, his merits must prevail;
Ask but in faith, it shall be done.
1. COME to the mercy-seat,
Come to the place of prayer;
Come, little children, to His feet,
In whom ye live and are.
