Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 849 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8 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 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 way, while angels in their songs rejoice and cry, "Behold, he prays!" 5 Prayer is the Christians' vital breath, the Christians' native air, his watchword at the gates of death; he enters heaven with prayer. 6 The saints in prayer appear as one in word, and deed, and mind, while with the Father and the Son sweet fellowship they find. 7 No prayer is made by us alone, the Holy Spirit pleads, and Jesus, on the eternal throne, for sinners intercedes. 8 O Christ, by whom we come to God, the life, the truth, the way! The path of prayer you also trod; Lord, teach us how to pray. Topics: Prayer; Christ--Intercessor; Humility; Prayer; Service music--Responses Used With Tune: DUNFERMLINE

All your people are forgiven through the virtue of your blood; opened is the gate of heaven; we are reconciled to God. 3 Jesus! Heavenly hosts adore you, seated at your Father's side. Crucified this world once saw you; now in glory you abide. There for sinners you are pleading, and our place you now prepare, ever for us interceding, till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing you are worthy to receive; loudest praises, without ceasing, right it is for us to give.
