Retirement

Author: Mrs. Phoebe H. Brown Hymnal: LD1890 #31 (1890) First Line: I love to steal awhile away Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away From every cumbering care, And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer. 2 I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear, And all his promises to plead, Where none but God can hear. 3 I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows cast On him whom I adore. 4 I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven; The prospect doth my strength renew, While here by tempests driven. 5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day.

Prayer has power

Author: John A. Wallace Hymnal: LD1890 #32 (1890) First Line: There is an eye that never sleeps Lyrics: 1 There is an eye that never sleeps Beneath the wing of night; There is an ear that never shuts When sink the beams of light. 2 There is an arm that never tires, When human strength gives way; There is a love that never fails, When earthly loves decay. 3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs; That arm upholds the sky; That ear is filled with angel songs; That love is throned on high. 4 But there's a power which man can wield When mortal aid is vain, That eye, that arm, that love to reach, That listening ear to gain. 5 That power is prayer, which soars on high, Through Jesus, to the throne; And moves the hand which moves the world, To bring salvation down!

The hour of prayer

Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: LD1890 #39 (1890) First Line: My God, is any hour so sweet Lyrics: 1 My God, is any hour so sweet, From blush of morn to evening star, As that which calls me to thy feet The hour of prayer? 2 Then is my strength by thee renewed; Then are my sins by thee forgiven; Then dost thou cheer my solitude, With hopes of heaven. 3 No words can tell what sweet relief Here for my every want I find; What strength for warfare, balm for grief, What peace of mind! 4 Hushed is each doubt, gone every fear; My spirit seems in heaven to stay; And ev'n the penitential tear Is wiped away. 5 Lord, till I reach yon blissful shore, No privilege so dear shall be As thus my inmost soul to pour In prayer to thee.
