HYMN: PRAYER IS THE SOUL’S SINCERE DESIRE

🎶

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 Christ­ian’s vi­tal breath,
The Christ­ian’s na­tive air,
His watch­word at the gates of death;
He en­ters Heav’n with pray­er.

🎶

5 Prayer is the con­trite sin­ner’s voice,
Returning from his ways,
While ang­els in their songs re­joice
And cry, Be­hold, he prays!

🎶

6 The saints in pray­er ap­pear as one
In word, in deed, and mind,
While with the Fa­ther and the Son
Sweet fel­low­ship they find.

🎶

7 Nor pray­er is made on earth alone;
The Ho­ly Spir­it pleads,
And Je­sus, on th’eter­nal throne,
For sin­ners in­ter­cedes.

🎶

8 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.

HAPPY DAY TO YOU: Today, we pause from our teaching on the heart or mind of man to sing a hymn that links us to God. Do not just sing the hymn but think on the words. May we learn to pray in a way suitable with our nature so that we can pray without ceasing.
