When Cold Our Hearts And Far From Thee

Author: Jonn S. Monsell Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #584 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 When cold our hearts and far from Thee Our wand'ring spirits stray, And tho'ts and lips move heavily, Lord, teach us how to pray. 2 Too vile to venture near Thy throne, Too poor to turn away; Our only voice Thy Spirit's groan; Lord, teach us how to pray. 3 We know not how to seek Thy face Unless Thou lead the way; We have no words unless Thy grace, Lord, teach us how to pray. 4 Here ev'ry tho't and fond desire We on Thine altar lay; And when our souls have caught Thy fire, Lord, teach us how to pray. 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. Amen. Topics: Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: MERTON

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #215b (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal 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 Christians' vital breath, The Christians' native air; His watch-word at the gate 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 say, "Behold, he prays."

O Thou, from whom all goodness flows

Author: Thomas Haweis Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #426 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Thou, from whom all goodness flows, I raise my soul to Thee; In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, Dear Lord, remember me. 2 When on my aching, burdened heart My sins lie heavily, Thy pardon grant, new peace impart: Dear Lord, remember me! 3 When trials sore obstruct my way, And ills I cannot flee, O let my strength be as my day: Dear Lord, remember me! 4 If worn with pain, disease, and grief, This feeble frame shall be; Grant patience, rest, and kind relief: Dear Lord, remember me! 5 When in the solemn hour of death I wait Thy just decree, Be this the prayer of my last breath, Dear Lord, remember me! 6 And when before Thy throne I stand, And lift my soul to Thee, Then, with the saints at Thy right hand, Dear Lord, remember me!

Teach me the measure of my days

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #432b (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 Teach me the measure of my days, Thou Maker of my frame! I would survey life's narrow space, And learn how frail I am. 2 A span is all that we can boast; A fleeting hour of time; Man is but vanity and dust, In all His flower and prime. 3 Vain race of mortals, see them move Like shadows o'er the plain: They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the noise is vain. 4 Some walk in honor's gaudy show; Some dig for golden ore; They toil for whom they do not know, And straight are seen no more. 5 What should I wish or wait for then, From creatures, earth, and dust? They make our expectations vain, And disappoint our trust. 6 Now I resign my earthly hope, My fond desires recall; I give my mortal interest up, And make my God my all.

According to Thy gracious Word

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #499 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious Word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee. 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; The cup, Thy precious blood, I take, And thus remember Thee. 3 Gethsemane, can I forget? Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember Thee. 5 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come, Then, Lord, remember me.
