What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Joseph M. Scriven Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 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 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 will find a solace there.

He it is who works within us, teaching rebel hearts to pray, he whose holy intercessions rise for us both night and day. 4 He, the mighty God, indwells us; his to strengthen, help, empower; his to overcome the tempter ours to call in danger's hour. In his strength we dare to battle all the raging hosts of sin, and by him alone we conquer foes without and foes within. 5 Father, grant your Holy Spirit in our hearts may rule today, grieved not, quenched not, but unhindered, work in us his sovereign way. Fill us with your holy fullness, God the Father, Spirit, Son; in us, through us, then, forever, shall your perfect will be done.

Sweet Hour of Prayer

Author: William W. Walford Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 1,293 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 First Line: Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! Lyrics: 1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father’s throne Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter’s snare, By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With strong desires for thy return! With such I hasten to the place Where God my Savior shows His face, And gladly take my station there, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! Thy wings shall my petition bear To Him whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless. And since He bids me seek His face, Believe His Word and trust His grace, I’ll cast on Him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 4 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! May I thy consolation share, Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height, I view my home and take my flight. This robe of flesh I’ll drop, and rise To seize the everlasting prize, And shout, while passing through the air, “Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!” Used With Tune: SWEET HOUR Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Sweet_Hour_of_Prayer); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (312); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Select Hymns, 1911 (528)

We stand to bless thee ere our worship cease, then lowly kneeling wait thy word of peace. 2 Grant us thy peace upon our homeward way; with thee began, with thee shall end the day. Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, that in this house have called upon thy name. 3 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night; turn thou for us its darkness into light. From harm and danger keep thy children free, for dark and light are both alike to thee. 4 Grant us thy peace, throughout our earthly life; our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife. Then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace. Topics: Evening; Peace of God Used With Tune: ELLERS

Hail in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free; To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succor speedy To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Are precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth, Love, joy, and hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth: Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace, the herald, go, And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 To Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end: The tide of time shall never His covenant remove, His name shall stand forever; That Name to us is Love.
