What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Joseph M. Scriven, 1819-1886 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,688 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:16 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! O what peace we often forfeit, O 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 Savior, still our refuge-- take it to the Lord in prayer! Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield you; you wilt find a solace there. Used With Tune: CONVERSE

Hark, the Voice of Jesus Crying

Author: Daniel March, 1816-1909; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 503 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:13-16 Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are ripe and harvests waiting; who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth; rich reward he offers thee. Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I, send me, send me"? 2 If you cannot speak like angels, if you cannot preach like Paul, you can tell the love of Jesus, you can say he died for all. If you cannot rouse the wicked with the judgment's dread alarms, you can lead the little children to the Savior's waiting arms. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, standing high on Zion's wall, pointing out the path to heaven, off'ring life and peace to all, with your prayers and with your off'rings you can do what God demands; you can be like faithful Aaron, holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," while the multitudes are dying, and the Master calls for you. Take the task he gives you gladly, let his work your pleasure be; answer quickly when he calleth, "Here am I, send me, send me!" Topics: Witness Used With Tune: GALILEAN

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:14 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David’s city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all; and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall: with the poor, and meek, and lowly lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 Jesus is our childhood’s pattern, day by day like us he grew; he was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles like us he knew: and he feels for all our sadness, and he shares in all our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love, for that child, so dear and gentle, is our Lord in heaven above: and he leads his children on to the place where he has gone. 5 Not in that poor lowly stable with the oxen standing by we shall see him, but in heaven, set at God’s right hand on high; there his children gather round, bright like stars, with glory crowned.
