Author: Charitie L.

My name is graven on his hands, my name is written on his heart: I know that while in heaven he stands no tongue can bid me thence depart. 2 When Satan tempts me to despair, and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look, and see him there who made an end of all my sin. Because the sinless Saviour died, my sinful soul is counted free; for God the just is satisfied to look on him and pardon me. 3 Behold him there! the risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace! One with himself, I cannot die; my soul is purchased by his blood; my life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ my Saviour and my God.

Oft have they pierced my soul with pain, And drawn my heart astray. How have I wandered from my God! And, following sin and shame, In this vile world of flesh and blood Defiled my nobler frame! For ever blessed be thy grace That formed my soul anew, And made it of a heav'n-born race, Thy glory to pursue. My spirit holds perpetual war, And wrestles and complains; But views the happy moment near That shall dissolve its chains. Cheerful in death I close my eyes To part with every lust; And charge my flesh, whene'er it rise, To leave them in the dust. My purer spirit shall not fear To put this body on; Its tempting powers no more are there, Its lusts and passions gone!

And if enticing sin grows strong, when human nature fails, God's Spirit in our inner self fights with us, and prevails. 3 Our pangs of guilt and fears of death are Satan's stratagems — by Jesus Christ who died for us God pardons; who condemns? And when we cannot feel our faith, nor bring ourselves to pray, the Spirit pleads with God for us in words we could not say. 3 God gave his Son to save us all — no other love like this! then shall he ever turn away from those he marks as his? And God has raised him from the grave, in this we stand assured; so none can tear us from his love in Jesus Christ our Lord.

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
