What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Scriven, 1819-1886 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #397 (1957) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness 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 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.

From Every Stormy Wind That Blows

Author: Hugh Stowell, 1799-1865 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #402 (1957) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat: 'Tis found beneath the mercy seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads; A place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy seat. 4 Ah! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismayed: Or how the hosts of hell defeat, Had suffering saints no mercy-seat? 5 Ah! there, there on eagle wings we soar, And time and sense seem all no more: And heav'n comes down our souls to greet, While glory crowns the mercy seat. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: RETREAT

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #421 (1957) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Activity and Zeal Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears His cross below, He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on Him to save. Like Him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in His train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame: They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their turn? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain; O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS, NEW
