Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire (Beatitudo) [Instrumental Version]
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire Uttered or unexpressed 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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!'
Nor prayer is made on earth alone The Holy Spirit pleads And Jesus at the Father's 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
