A Prayer
Author: Montgomery Hymnal: BHPPD866 #31 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: God of all grace, we come to Thee Lyrics:
God of all grace, we come to Thee,
With humble, prayerful hearts;
Give what Thine eye delights to see,
Truth in the inward parts:
Give deep humility; the sense
Of holy sorrow give:
A strong, desiring confidence,
To hear Thy voice and live:
Patience, to watch, and wait, and weep,
Though mercy long delay;
Courage, our fainting souls to keep,
And trust Thee, though Thou slay.
Give these,—and then Thy will be done!
Thus strengthened with all might,
We, in the spirit of Thy Son,
Shall pray, and pray aright.

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: BHPPD866 #32 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: What shall we ask of God in prayer? Lyrics:
What shall we ask of God in prayer?
Whatever good we want;
Whatever man may seek to share,
Or God in wisdom grant.
Father of all our mercies,—Thou
In whom we move and live!
Hear us in heaven, Thy dwelling, now,
And answer, and forgive.
When harassed by ten thousand foes,
Our helplessness we feel,
O, give the weary soul repose,
The wounded spirit heal!
When dire temptations gather round,
And threaten or allure,
By storm or calm, in Thee be found
A refuge strong and sure.
When age advances, may we grow
In faith, in hope, and love;
And walk in holiness below
To holiness above.

For Divine Strength
Hymnal: BHPPD866 #33 (1866) First Line: Father, in Thy mysterious presence kneeling Lyrics:
Father, in Thy mysterious presence kneeling,
Fain would our souls feel all Thy kindling love;
For we are weak, and need some deep revealing
Of Trust and Strength and Calmness from above.
Lord, we have wandered forth through doubt and sorrow,
And Thou hast made each step an onward one;
And we will ever trust each unknown morrow,—
Thou wilt sustain us till its work is done.
In the heart’s depths a peace serene and holy
Abides, and when pain seems to have her will,
Or we despair,—O, may that peace rise slowly,
Stronger than agony, and we be still!
Now, Father, now, in Thy dear presence kneeling,
Our spirits yearn to feel Thy kindling love;
Now make us strong, we need Thy deep revealing
Of Trust and Strength and Calmness from above.

Seeking Strength
Author: Gaskell Hymnal: BHPPD866 #34 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O God! who knowest how frail we are Lyrics:
O God! who knowest how frail we are,
How soon the thought of good departs;
We pray that Thou wouldst feed the fount
Of holy yearning in our hearts.
Let not the choking cares of earth
The precious springs of life o’ergrow;
But, ever guarded by Thy love,
Still purer may their waters flow.
To Thee, with sweeter hope and trust,
Be every day our spirits given;
And may we, while we walk on earth,
Walk more as citizens of heaven.

Drawing Near to God
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #35 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: From every fear and doubt, O Lord Lyrics:
From every fear and doubt, O Lord,
In mercy set us free,
While in the confidence of prayer
Our hearts draw near to Thee!
In all our trials, struggles, joys,
Teach us Thy love to see,
Which by the discipline of life
Would draw us unto Thee.
Our lives, devoted to Thy will,
Our sacrifice shall be,
And then will death, whene’er it come,
But draw us nearer Thee.

The Pillar and Cloud
Author: W. Scott Hymnal: BHPPD866 #36 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When Israel, of the Lord beloved Lyrics:
When Israel, of the Lord beloved,
Out from the land of bondage came,
Her fathers’ God before her moved,
An awful guide in smoke and flame.
By day, along the astonished lands
The cloudy pillar glided slow;
By night, Arabia’s crimsoned sands
Returned the fiery column’s glow.
Thus present still, though now unseen,
When brightly shines the prosperous day,
Be thoughts of Thee a cloudy screen,
To temper the deceitful ray!
And, O, when gathers on our path
In shade and storm the frequent night,
Be Thou, long-suffering, slow to wrath,
A burning and a shining light!

Prayer for Wisdom
Author: Smart Hymnal: BHPPD866 #37 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Father of light! conduct our feet Lyrics:
Father of light! conduct our feet
Through life’s dark, dangerous road;
Let each advancing step still bring
Us nearer to our God.
Let heaven-eyed prudence be our guide;
And when we go astray,
Recall our feet from folly’s paths
To wisdom’s better way.
That heavenly wisdom from above
Abundantly impart;
And let it guard, and guide, and warm,
And penetrate each heart;
Till it shall lead us to Thyself,
Fountain of bliss and love!
And all our darkness be dispersed
In endless light above.

Living to the Glory of God
Author: Mrs. Cotterill Hymnal: BHPPD866 #38 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O Thou, who hast at Thy command Lyrics:
O Thou, who hast at Thy command
The hearts of all men in Thy hand!
Our wayward, erring hearts incline
To know no other will but Thine.
Our wishes, our desires, control;
Mould every purpose of the soul;
O’er all may we victorious be
That stands between ourselves and Thee.
Thrice blest will all our blessings be,
When we can look through them to Thee;
When each glad heart its tribute pays
Of love, and gratitude, and praise.
And while we to Thy glory live,
May we to Thee all glory give,
Until the final summons come,
That calls Thy willing servants home.

The Peace of God
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #39 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O Father! lift our souls above Lyrics:
O Father! lift our souls above,
Till we find rest in Thy dear love;
And still that Peace divine impart
Which sanctifies the inmost heart,
And makes each morn and setting sun
But bring us nearer to Thy throne.
May we our daily duties meet,
Tread sin each day beneath our feet,
And win that strength which doth Thy will
And seeth Thee, and so is still;
And fixed on Thy sustaining arm,
Find daily food and know no harm.
Help us with man in peace to live,
Our brother’s wrong in love forgive,
And day and night the tempter flee
Through strength which comes alone from Thee!
Thus will our spirits find their rest,
In Thy deep Peace forever blest.

The Heart’s Inspiration
Author: Mrs. Hemans Hymnal: BHPPD866 #40 (1866) First Line: Father, who art on high! Lyrics:
Father, who art on high!
Weak is the melody
Of harp or song to reach Thy gracious ear,
Unless the heart be there,
Winging the words of prayer
With its own fervent faith, or suppliant tear.
O, let Thy spirit move
O’er those who bend in love,
Be Thou amidst them as a heavenly guest;
So shall our cry have power
To win from Thee a shower
Of healing gifts for every wounded breast.
O, let Thy breath once more
Within the soul restore
Thine own first image, Holiest and Most High!
As a clear lake is filled
With hues of heaven instilled,
Down to the depths of its calm purity.
