====Family Prayers==== '''This, then, is how you should pray:''' [[Family Prayers.]] [[The throne of grace]] [[Calvary's stupendous scene!]] [[We meekly knock at mercy's gate]] [[As we pass along the miry paths of life]] [[We are tied and bound by its enslaving chain!]] [[Our tears of penitence cannot remove one blot!]] [[The sword of Divine justice buried in His sinless heart!]] [[We confess with shame]] [[It is the vile monster!]] [[May we read the melting of Your heart towards us]] [[Shall we, then, flaunt proudly in Your sight?]] [[We would grope and stumble]] in the bewildering paths of ignorance and error! [[We offer His blood to pay the debt]] [[Your boundless stores!]] [[Cast them into the deep ocean of His all-cleansing blood!]] [[Our besotted faculties are dull to comprehend You!]] [[Shall our eyes be dry?]] [[To follow You fully is heaven—before heaven is reached!]] [[Hold me up!]] [[The old man yet lives!]] [[Our hearts are Yours!]] [[While we mourn over our many maladies]] [[This Heavenly Visitor]] [[Soon our last grain will fall through the hour-glass!]] [[A little speck, a breath, a vanishing shadow, a fading flower]] [[May we see our sins]] [[The chosen pleasure-ground of our souls!]] [[Let every Agag be hewed to pieces!]] [[The mirror of eternity!]] [[We now hide ourselves in our great Redeemer's wounds]] [[It would fall short of our vast debt to You!]] [[Lest the wily serpent should sneak in!]] [[Permit us to commend their wretchedness to You]] [[We cling to Your saving cross!]] [[Category:Prayer]]
