Pàgina 19 - 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.
Pàgina 8 - And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Pàgina 21 - BE NOT AFRAID TO PRAY. T> E not afraid to pray — to pray is right. •*-* Pray, if thou canst, with hope ; but ever pray, Though hope be weak, or sick with long delay : Pray in the darkness, if there be no light. Far is the time, remote from human sight, When war and discord on the earth shall cease ; Yet every prayer for universal peace Avails the blessed time to expedite.
Pàgina 28 - WHAT various hindrances we meet • In coming to a mercy-seat ! Yet who that knows the worth of prayer, But wishes to be often there ? 2 Prayer makes the darken'd cloud withdraw, Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw, Gives exercise to faith and love, Brings every blessing from above. 3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight ; Prayer makes the Christian's armour bright ; And Satan trembles when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees.
Pàgina 5 - LET thy merciful ears, O LORD, be open to the prayers of thy humble servants ; and that they may obtain their petitions, make them to ask such things as shall please thee, through JESUS CHRIST our Lord. Amen.
Pàgina 10 - And they prayed, and said, Thou Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, show whether of these two thou hast chosen ; that he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their lots ; and the lot fell upon Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
Pàgina 10 - And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
Pàgina 16 - 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.
Pàgina 25 - Hear thy guardian angel say, Thou art in the midst of foes — Watch and pray.
