What a Friend we have in Jesus

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #144 (1903) Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer. Oh, what peace we often forfeit! Oh, what needless pain we bear! All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer. 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness, Take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour,--still our refuge,-- Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer; In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there. Topics: The Christian Graces; Hope The Cross

When I can read my title clear

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #147 (1903) Lyrics: 1 When I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes. 2 Should earth against my soul engage, And hellish darts be hurled; Then I can smile at Satan's rage, And face a frowning world. 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, And storms of sorrow fall, May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heaven, my all! 4 There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest; And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast.

When little Samuel woke

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #104 (1903) Lyrics: 1 When little Samuel woke, And heard His Maker's voice, At every word He spoke, How much did he rejoice! Oh, blessed, happy child! to find The God of heaven so near and kind. 2 If God would speak to me, And say He was my Friend, How happy I should be! Oh, how I would attend! The smallest sin I then would fear, If God Almighty were so near. 3 And does He never speak? Oh, yes, for in His Word He bids me come to seek The God that Samuel heard. And every sin I well may fear, Since God Almighty is so near. 4 Like Samuel let us say, Whene'er we read His Word; "Speak, Lord, I would obey The voice that Samuel heard; And when I in Thy house appear, Speak, for Thy servant waits to hear."

Where is the Friend?

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #150 (1903) First Line: Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? Lyrics: 1 Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? My longing grows when day to night is turning; And though I find Him not as day recedeth, My heart still pleadeth. 2 I know He's there in every force and power, Where waves the harvest and where blooms the flower; I'm ever in my breath and sighs so burning, His love discerning. 3 When summer winds blow gently, then I hear Him; Where sing the birds, where rush the streams, I'm near Him; But better far when in my heart He blesses Me with caresses. 4 And yet to hide Him oft a cloud prevaileth; My prayer can reach Him, but my vision faileth. Would I could see His face and heart so loving, And cease my roving. 5 Oh, where such beauty is itself revealing In all that lives, through all creation stealing. What must the source be whence it comes, the Giver? Beauty forever. 6 Oh, light and peace, salvation's sparkling fountain, Shall I thy source behold from Zion's mountain? Who brings me to thy rills in rapture plying? A peaceful dying! 7 My soul, be strong! Hope, pray with self-denial! The heavenly Friend submits Himself to trial: So shalt thou find in Him, on Him depending, Mercy unending. 8 Soon, in the harbor, where no waves are breaking, Or like the weary dove her refuge taking, Thou, timorous lamb, shalt by thy Shepherd's favor Find rest for ever.

Who made the sky so clear and blue?

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #138 (1903) First Line: Who made the sky so clear and blue Refrain First Line: It was our Father, God and King Lyrics: 1 Who made the sky so clear and blue, And rich and verdant field? Who decked the flowers with sparkling dew, Them fragrance gave to yield? Who taught the birds to soar so high And sing in rapture there? Who gave the little butterfly Of wings a lustrous pair? Chorus: It was our Father, God and King; His holy Name for ever sing! 2 Who let from endless azure sky The sun so brilliant beam, And made the snow-clad mountains high In gold and crimson gleam? Who gave the moon its silvery rays To spread in silent night? Who gave there in the sombre space The stars their twinkling light? [Chorus] 3 Who made the mountains, woods, and hills, And all the bleating flocks? Who placed the lakes and brooks and rills Between majestic rocks? And who created you and me And us His Spirit gave? Who taught us life eternal see Beyond the narrow grave? [Chorus] Topics: The Christian Graces; Love Outings

Work, for the night is coming

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #81 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming; Work through the morning hours. Work, while the dew is sparkling; Work 'mid springing flowers; Work, when the day grows brighter, Work in the glowing sun; Work, for the night is coming When man's work is done. 2 Work, for the night is coming, Work through the sunny noon; Fill brightest hours with labor, Rest comes sure and soon; Give every flying minute Something to keep in store; Work, for the night is coming, When man works no more. 3 Work, for the night is coming, Under the sunset skies; While their bright tints are glowing, Work, for daylight flies; Work till the last beam fadeth, Fadeth to shine no more; Work, while the night is darkening, When man's work is o'er.
