Matthew 6:9

• [Mat 6:9] Eternal Power, Whose High Abode

  Eternal Power, whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God, Infinite lengths beyond the bounds Where stars resolve their little rounds! The lowest step around Thy seat, Rises too high for Gabriel’s feet; In vain the favored angel tries To reach Thine height with wond’ring eyes. There while the first archangel sings, He hides his face behind his wings, And ranks of shining thrones around Fall worshiping, and spread the ground. Lord, what shall earth and ashes do? We would adore our Maker, too; From sin and dust to Thee we cry, The Great, the Holy, and the High. Earth from afar has heard Thy fame, And worms have learned to lisp Thy Name; But, O! the glories of Thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. God is in Heaven, and men below; Be short our tunes, our words be few; A solemn reverence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.

  Father of all, to Thee With loving hearts we pray, Through Him, in mercy given, The Life, the Truth, the Way; From Heav’n, Thy throne, in mercy shed Thy blessings on each bended head. Father of all, to Thee Our contrite hearts we raise, Unstrung by sin and pain, Long voiceless in Thy praise; Breathe Thou the silent chords along, Until they tremble into song. Father of all, to Thee We breathe unuttered fears, Deep hidden in our souls, That have no voice but tears; Take Thou our hand, and through the wild Lead gently each trustful child. Father of all, may we In praise our tongues employ, When gladness fills the soul With deep and hallowed joy; In storm and calm give us to see The path of peace which leads to Thee.

  Jesus, kneel beside me, In the dawn of day; Thine is prayer eternal— Teach me how to pray! Master, work beside me In the shining sun; Gently guide Thy servant Till the work be done. Savior, watch beside me In the closing light; Lo, the evening cometh— Watch with me this night! Birds are winging homeward, Sun and shadow cease; Savior, take my spirit To Thy perfect peace.

• [Mat 7:7] Bless This Hour Of Prayer

  Come in our midst, O gracious Lord, Unveil Thy smiling face, Distil in every waiting heart, The dew of heavenly grace; From earthly scenes we turn aside, On Thee we cast our care; We worship in Thy holy Name; O! bless this hour of prayer. Come in our midst, O gracious Lord, Thy promise we believe, That bids us seek and we shall find, Ask and we shall receive; We gather at Thy mercy seat, Our only hope is there, We plead the merits of Thy blood; O! bless this hour of prayer. Come in our midst, O gracious Lord, Eternal King of kings, And fold the children of the law Beneath Thy mighty wings; Support the weak, the mourner cheer, Help all their cross to bear; Thou Spring of joy, Thou Source of life, O! bless this hour of prayer.

  Come, my soul, thy suit prepare: Jesus loves to answer prayer; He Himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay; Therefore will not say thee nay. Thou art coming to a King, Large petitions with thee bring; For His grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much; None can ever ask too much. With my burden I begin: Lord, remove this load of sin; Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt; Set my conscience free from guilt. Lord, I come to Thee for rest, Take possession of my breast; There Thy blood bought right maintain, And without a rival reign; And without a rival reign. As the image in the glass Answers the beholder’s face; Thus unto my heart appear, Print Thine own resemblance there, Print Thine own resemblance there. While I am a pilgrim here, Let Thy love my spirit cheer; As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend, Lead me to my journey’s end; Lead me to my journey’s end. Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew: Let me live a life of faith, Let me die Thy people’s death; Let me die Thy people’s death.

  Have you prayed all night, till the break of day, And the morning light drove the dark away? Did you linger there, till the morning dew, In prevailing prayer, did you pray it through? Refrain Did you pray till the answer came, Did you plead in the Savior’s Name? Have you prayed all night till the morning light, Did you pray till the answer came? Did you pray it through, till the answer came? There’s a promise true for your faith to claim, At the place of prayer, Jesus waits for you, Did you meet Him there, did you pray it through?

• [Mat 7:14] I’m Going Through

  Lord, I have started to walk in the light That shines on my pathway so clearly, so bright; I’ve bade the world and its follies adieu, And now with my Savior I mean to go through. Refrain I’m going through, I’m going through, I’ll pay the price, whatever others do; I’ll take the way with the Lord’s despisèd few; I’m going through, Jesus, I’m going through. Many once started to run in this race, But with our Redeemer they could not keep pace; Others accepted because it was new, But not very many seem bound to go through. Refrain Let me but follow my Lord all alone, And have for my pillow, like Jacob, a stone, Rather than vain worldly pleasures pursue, Than turn from this pathway and fail to go through. Refrain Come then, my comrades, and walk in this way That leads to the kingdom of unending day; Turn from your idols and join with the few, Start in with your Savior, and keep going through. Refrain

  Lord, Thy children guide and keep, As with feeble steps they press On the pathway rough and steep Through the weary wilderness. Holy Jesus, day by day, Lead us in the narrow way. There are stony ways to tread; Give the strength we sorely lack. There are tangled paths to thread; Light us, lest we miss the track. Holy Jesus, day by day, Lead us in the narrow way. There are sandy wastes that lie Cold and sunless, vast and drear, Where the feeble faint and die; Grant us grace to persevere. Holy Jesus, day by day, Lead us in the narrow way. There are soft and flowery glades Decked with golden fruited trees, Sunny slopes and scented shades; Keep us, Lord, from slothful ease. Holy Jesus, day by day, Lead us in the narrow way. Upward still to purer heights! Onward yet to scenes more blest, Calmer regions, clearer lights, Till we reach the promised rests Holy Jesus, day by day, Lead us in the narrow way.

  Strait is the gate to all that come, And narrow is the way, Which leads unto the heav’nly home, Where yet is room for thee, Where yet is room for thee. In Heav’n, where God His own shall take, There’s also room for thee. In Jesus’ Name, for Jesus’ sake, The gates shall opened be, The gates shall opened be. Where thousands stand arrayed in white, Whom God His own declared, There yet is room and life and light, By grace for thee prepared, By grace for thee prepared. In Jesus’ heart there’s room, I know, And in His Heav’n of bliss. He in His Gospel tells me so, Thanks be to God for this, Thanks be to God for this. Now God be praised, that even I May in that city dwell, Where peace shall reign eternally, And all with me be well, And all with me be well.

To the right? To the left? ah, me! if I knew— The night is so dark, and the passers so few.” Refrain “See the lights from the palace in silvery lines, How they pencil the hedges and fruit laden vines— My fortune! my all! for one tangled gleam That sifts thro’ the lilies, and wastes on the stream.” Refrain

  “Behold, the Bridegroom draweth nigh” Hear ye the oft repeated cry? Go forth into the midnight dim; For blest are they whom He shall find With ready heart and watchful mind; Go forth, my soul, to Him. “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh by,” The call is echoed from the sky: Go forth, ye servants, watch and wait: The slothful cannot join His train; No careless ones can entrance gain; Awake, my soul, ’tis late. The wise will plead with one accord, “O holy, holy, holy Lord, On us Thy quick’ning grace bestow, That none may reach the door too late, When Thou shalt enter at the gate And to Thy kingdom go.” “Behold, the Bridegroom draweth near,” The warning falls on every ear: That night of dread shall come to all: Behold, my soul, thy lamp so dim, Rise, rise the smoking flax to trim; Soon shalt thou hear His call.

  When descending from the sky The Bridegroom shall appear; And the solemn midnight cry, Shall call professors near: How the sound our hearts will damp! How will shame o’erspread each face! If we only have a lamp, Without the oil of grace. Foolish virgins then will wake And seek for a supply; But in vain the pains they take To borrow or to buy: Then with those they now despise, Earnestly they’ll wish to share; But the best, among the wise, Will have no oil to spare. Wise are they, and truly blest, Who then shall ready be But despair will seize the rest, And dreadful misery: Once, they’ll cry, we scorned to doubt, Though in lies our trust we put; Now our lamp of hope is out, The door of mercy shut. If they then presume to plead, “Lord open to us now; We on earth have heard and prayed, And with thy saints did bow:” He will answer from his throne, “Though you with My people mixed, Yet to Me you ne’er were known, Depart, your doom is fixed.” O that none who worship here May hear that word, Depart! Lord impress a godly fear On each professor’s heart: Help us, Lord, to search the camp, Let us not ourselves beguile; Trusting to a dying lamp Without a stock of oil.
