[Luk 11:1] At First I Prayed For Light
At first I prayed for light:
Could I but see the way,
How gladly, swiftly would I walk
To everlasting day!And next I prayed for strength:
That I might tread the road
With firm, unfaltering feet, and win
The heavens’ serene abode.And then I prayed for faith:
Could I but trust my God,
I’d live infolded in His peace,
Though foes were all abroad.But now I pray for love:
Deep love to God and man;
A living love that will not fail,
However dark His plan.And light and strength and faith
Are opening everywhere!
God waited patiently until
I prayed the larger prayer.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Luk 11:1] Lord, Teach Us How To Pray Aright
Lord, teach us how to pray aright,
With reverence and with fear;
Though dust and ashes in Thy sight,
We may, we must draw near.We perish if we cease from prayer;
O grant us power to pray;
And when to meet Thee we prepare,
Lord, meet us by the way.God of all grace, we come to Thee
With broken, contrite hearts;
Give what Thine eye delights to see,
Truth in the inward parts.Faith in the only sacrifice
That can for sin atone;
To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes,
On Christ, on Christ alone.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, through Thy Spirit and Thy Son,
Shall pray, and pray aright.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Luk 11:1] Now From The World Withdrawn
Now from the world withdrawn,
For fellowship with Thee;
May each, O Lord, before Thy throne,
From earthly cares be free.Possess our every thought,
And teach our minds to pray;
Help us to worship as we ought,
And thus conclude the day.Our strength may we renew,
And lift our hearts above;
That, while life’s journey we pursue,
We still may walk in love.Then, in our latter end,
If death shall close our eyes,
Thy mercy will our souls attend,
And bear them to the skies.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Luk 11:1] Prayer Is The Soul’s Sincere Desire
Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire,
Unuttered or expressed;
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear
The upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near.Prayer is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer, the sublimest strains
That reach The Majesty on high.Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath,
The Christian’s native air,
His watchword at the gates of death;
He enters Heav’n with prayer.Prayer is the contrite sinner’s voice,
Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice
And cry, “Behold, he prays!”The saints in prayer appear as one
In word, in deed, and mind,
While with the Father and the Son
Sweet fellowship they find.No prayer is made by man alone
The Holy Spirit pleads,
And Jesus, on th’eternal throne,
For sinners intercedes.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.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Luk 11:1] When Cold Our Hearts
When cold our hearts, and far from Thee
Our wandering spirits stray,
And thoughts and lips move heavily;
Lord, teach us how to pray.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.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.Here every thought and fond desire
We on Thine altar lay;
And when our souls have caught Thy fire,
Lord, teach us how to pray.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Luk 11:2] Father, In High Heaven Dwelling
Father in high Heaven dwelling,
May our evening song be telling
Of Thy mercy large and free:
Through the day Thy love hath fed us,
Through the day Thy care hath led us
With divinest charity.This day’s sins, O pardon, Savior,
Evil thoughts, perverse behavior,
Envy, pride, and vanity;
From the world, the flesh, deliver,
Save us now, and save us ever,
O Lamb of Calvary!From enticements of the devil,
From the might of spirits evil,
Be our shield and panoply:
Let Thy pow’r this night defend us,
And a heavenly peace attend us,
And angelic company.While the night dews are distilling,
Holy Ghost, each heart be filling
With Thine own serenity:
Softly let our eyes be closing
Loving souls on Thee reposing,
Ever blessèd Trinity.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Father of me, and all mankind,
And all the hosts above,

One God in Persons three;
And glorify the great I AM,
Through all eternity.Thy kingdom come, with power and grace,
To every heart of man;
Thy peace, and joy, and righteousness,
In all our bosoms reign.The righteousness that never ends,
But makes an end of sin,
The joy that human thought transcends
Into our souls bring in:The kingdom of established peace,
Which can no more remove;
The perfect power of godliness,
The omnipotence of love.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Luk 11:2] I Worship Thee, Sweet Will Of God

And all thy ways adore;
And every day I live, I long
To love thee more and more.I love to kiss each print where thou
Hast set thine unseen feet;
I cannot fear thee, blessèd will,
Thine empire is so sweet.He always wins who sides with God,
To him no chance is lost;
God’s will is sweetest to him when
It triumphs at his cost.When obstacles and trials seem
Like prison walls to be,
I do the little I can do,
And leave the rest to thee.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus,

What He wills alone to will.
For my heart, which He hath filled,
Ever cries, Lord, as Thou wilt.One there is for Whom I’m living,
Whom I love most tenderly;
Unto Jesus I am giving
What in love He gave to me.
Jesus’ blood hides all my guilt;
Lord, oh, lead me as Thou wilt.What to me may seem a treasure
But displeasing is to Thee,
Oh, remove such harmful pleasure;
Give instead what profits me.
Let my heart by Thee be stilled;
Make me Thine, Lord, as Thou wilt.Let me earnestly endeavor
Thy good pleasure to fulfill;
In me, through me, with me, ever,
Lord, accomplish Thou Thy will.
In Thy holy image built,
Let me die, Lord, as Thou wilt.Jesus, constant be my praises,
For Thou unto me didst bring
Thine own self and all Thy graces
That I joyfully may sing;
Be it unto me, my Shield,
As Thou wilt, Lord, as Thou wilt.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

That war shall be no more—
Oppression, lust, and crime,

And come in Thy great might;
Revive our longing eyes,
Which languish for Thy sight.Men scorn Thy sacred Name,

Through burning climes they pass unhurt,
And breathe in tainted air.When by the dreadful tempest borne
High on the broken wave,
They know Thou art not slow to her,
Nor impotent to save.The storm is laid, the winds retire,
Obedient to Thy will,
The sea, that roars at Thy command,
At Thy command is still.From all our griefs and fears, O Lord,
Thy mercy sets us free;
While in the confidence of prayer
Our hearts take hold on Thee.In midst of dangers, fears and death,
Thy goodness we adore;
We praise Thee for Thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for moreOur life, while Thou preservest life,
A sacrifice shall be;
And death, when death shall be our lot,
Shall join our souls to Thee.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Luk 12:37] Ye Servants Of The Lord
Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in his office wait,
Observant of His heavenly Word,
And watchful at His gate.Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame,
Gird up your loins, as in His sight,
For awful is His Name.Watch: ’tis your Lord’s command,
And while we speak He’s near;
Mark the first signal of His hand,
And ready all appear.O happy servant he,
In such a posture found!
He shall His Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crowned.Christ shall the banquet spread
With His own royal hand,
And raise that faithful servant’s head
Amid the angelic band.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Luk 12:39] While Life Prolongs Its Precious Light
While life prolongs its precious light,
Mercy is found, and peace is given;
But soon, ah soon, approaching night
Shall blot out every hope of heaven.While God invites, how blest the day!
How sweet the Gospel’s charming sound!
Come sinners, haste, O haste away,
While yet a pardoning God is found.Soon, borne on time’s most rapid wing
Shall death command you to the grave,
Before His bar your spirits bring,
And none be found to hear or save.And in that land of deep despair
No Sabbath’s heavenly light shall rise,
No God regard your bitter prayer,
No Savior call you to the skies.No wonders to the dead are shown,
The wonders of redeeming love;
No voice His glorious truth makes known,
Nor sings the bliss of climes above.Silence, and solitude, and gloom,
In those forgetful realms appear:
Deep sorrows fill the dismal tomb,
And hope shall never enter there.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Luk 12:40] Be Ready To Go
We’re told in the Bible that Jesus is coming,
Be ready to go, be ready to go!
When He shall descend from the portals of glory,
Be ready to go, be ready to go!Refrain
Be ready to go, for sure He is coming!
That day may be near, be ready to go,
Be ready to go with all the redeemed ones!
When He shall appear, be ready to go!Then stand you no longer in idleness, brother,
Be ready to go, be ready to go!
Be watching and waiting His coming to welcome,
Be ready to go, be ready to go!Refrain
We know not the day nor the hour of His coming,
Be ready to go, be ready to go!
Reward He has promised to all who are faithful,
Be ready to go, be ready to go!Refrain
Would you with the millions redeemed there be numbered?
Be ready to go, be ready to go!
Then slight not His call, nor reject thou His mercy,
Be ready to go, be ready to go!Refrain

[Luk 13:3] Repent! ’tis The Voice Of Jesus
Repent! ’tis the voice of Jesus
Now sounding in your ear;
The message of God rings loud and clear,
Now seek Him, for He is near.Refrain
Repent! and be ye saved,
Repent! and be ye saved,
Repent! and be ye saved,
Repent! and be ye saved.Repent! while the Lord invites you;
Before the Savior fall;
The wages of sin is death to all
Who heed not the Gospel call.Refrain
Repent! while the Holy Spirit
Is striving with your soul;
The burden of sin on Jesus roll,
Surrender to His control.Refrain
Repent! for the days are flying;
The final hour draws nigh;
No pleasure have I, saith God on high,
In seeing the wicked die.Refrain
Repent! for He made atonement;
He took the sinner’s place;
O turn to the Lord, and seek His face,
And trust in His saving grace.Refrain

[Luk 13:24] Strive Aright When God Doth Call
Strive aright when God doth call thee,
When He draws thee by His grace,
Cast off all that would enthrall thee,
And deter thee from the race.Wrestle, till thy zeal is burning
And thy love is glowing warm,
All that earth can give thee spurning,
Half love will not bide the storm.Perfect truth will love to follow
Watchfully our Master’s ways;
Seeks not comfort poor and hollow,
Looks not for reward or praise.Soldiers of the cross, take courage!
Watch and war ’mid fear and pain;
Daily conquering sin and sorrow,
Till our King o’er earth shall reign.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Luk 13:29] Little Travelers Zionward
Little travelers Zionward
Each one entering into rest,
In the kingdom of your Lord,
In the mansions of the blest:
There, to welcome, Jesus waits,
Gives the crown His followers win;
Lift your heads, ye golden gates,
Let the little travelers in!Who are they whose little feet,
Pacing life’s dark journey through,
Now have reached the heavenly seat
They had ever kept in view?
“I from Greenland’s frozen land,”
“I from India’s sultry plain,”
“I from Africa’s barren sand,”
“I from islands of the main.”“All our earthly journey past,
Every tear and pain gone by,
Here together met at last,
At the portal of the sky.”
Each the welcome “Come!” awaits,
Conquerors over death and sin;
Lift your heads, ye golden gates,
Let the little travellers in.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Luk 13:34] Weep Not For Him Who Onward Bears
Weep not for Him Who onward bears
His cross to Calvary;
He does not ask man’s pitying tears,
Who wills for man to die.The awful sorrow of His face,
The bowing of His frame,
Come not from torture or disgrace;
He fears not cross or shame.There is a deeper pang of grief,
An agony unknown,
In which His love finds no relief;
He bears it all alone.He thinks of all for whom His life
Of lowliness and pain,
And weariness and care and strife,
Will be, alas, in vain.He sees the souls for whom He dies
Yet clinging to their sin,
And heirs of mansions in the skies
Who will not enter in.Ah! this, my Savior, was the shame
That bowed Thy head so low;
These were the wounds that racked Thy frame,
And made Thy tears to flow.O may I in Thy sorrow share,
And mourn that sins of mine
Should ever wound with grief or care
That loving heart of Thine.Play source: Cyberhymnal
