O God, to You I Cry in Pain

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Praying For Ourselves Lyrics: 1 O God, to you I cry in pain when sickness makes me weak, when mind and body out of tune bring fears I cannot speak. 2 Give me the strength to face my ill, to trust in skill and care, to bless the hands that help me heal, and find your Spirit there. 3 Remind me I am not alone, when suffering makes its mark; be present at my pillow’s side, and help me through the dark. 4 Within the comfort and the love that human touch can give, restore in me a larger sense of what it is to live. 5 Allow my mind to rest in you, and let your peace pervade to hold me in your greater power, and not to be afraid. Scripture: Psalm 4:1-3 Used With Tune: AFFLICTION

When Grief Is Raw

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 7.3 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Praying For Healing Refrain First Line: I am the resurrection Lyrics: To be read by one voice: When grief is raw, and music goes unheard, and thought is numb, we have no polished phrases to recite. In Christ we come to hear the old familiar words: *Sung congregational response God, give us time for gratitude and tears, and make us free to grieve, remember, honor, and delight. Let love be strong to bear regrets and banish fears: *Sung congregational response The height and breadth of all that love prepares soar out of time, beyond our speculation and our sight. The cross remains to ground the promise that it bears: *Sung congregational response All shall be judged, the greatest and the least, and all be loved, till every hurt is healed, all wrong set right. In bread and wine we taste the great homecoming feast, and in the midst of death we are in life. *Sung congregational response Sung congregational response: “I am the resurrection. I am life.” Scripture: John 11:1-45 Used With Tune: KAB Text Sources: Faith Looking Forward

O Lord our God, Thy light and truth

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Children praying for grace Lyrics: O Lord our God, Thy light and truth To us Thy children send, That we may serve Thee in our youth, And love Thee to the end. 336 By nature sinful, weak, and blind, The downward path we trod, Our wandering heart and wayward mind Were enemies to God. But friends and guardians now, through grace, Our heedless steps restrain, They teach us, Lord, to seek Thy face, Which none shall seek in vain. Hence to the hills we lift our eyes, From which salvation springs; O Sun of Righteousness, arise, With bealing in Thy wings! Arise,--and o'er this vale of tears, Shine into perfect day, Still heavenward, through progressive years, Pointing the Christian's way.
O Lord our God, Thy light and truth

Come, O thou all-victorious Lord

Appears in 111 hymnals Topics: Praying for a Blessing Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou all-victorious Lord; Thy power to us make known: Strike with the hammer of thy word, And break these hearts of stone. 2 O that we all might now begin Our foolishness to mourn; And turn at once from every sin, And to my Saviour turn. 3 Give us ourselves and thee to know In this your gracious day; Repentance unto life bestow, And take our sins away. 4 Conclude us first in unbelief, And freely then release; Fill every soul with sacred grief, And then with sacred peace. 5 Impoverish, Lord, and then relieve, And then enrich the poor; The knowledge of our sickness give, The knowledge of our cure. 6 That blessed sense of guilt impart, And then remove the load; Trouble, and wash the troubled heart In the atoning blood. 7 Our desperate state through sin declare, And speak our sins forgiven: By perfect holiness prepare, And take us up to heaven.
Come, O thou all-victorious Lord

Except the Lord conduct the plan

Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: For the Society Praying Lyrics: 1 Except the Lord conduct the plan, The best concerted schemes are vain, And never can succeed; We spend our wretched strength for nought; But if our works in thee are wrought; They shall be blest indeed. 2 Lord, if you did'st thyself inspire Our souls with this intense desire Thy goodness to proclaim; Thy glory if we now intend, O let our deed begin and end Complete in Jesu's name! 3 In Jesu's name behold we meet, Far from an evil world retreat, And all its frantic ways; One only thing resolv'd to know, And square our useful lives below By reason and by grace. 4 Not in the tombs we pine to dwell, Not in the dark, monastic cell, By vows and grates confined; Freely to all ourselves we give Constrained by Jesu's love to live Thy servants of mankind. 5 Now, Jesu, now thy love impart, To govern each devoted heart, And fit us for thy will! Deep founded in the truth of grace, Build up thy rising church, and place The city on the hill. 6 O let our love and faith abound! O let our lives to all around With purest lustre shine! That all around our works may see, And give the glory, Lord, to thee, The heavenly light divine!

Gracious Saviour, gentle Shepherd

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 152 hymnals Topics: Guidance, prayed for; Protection, prayed for Lyrics: 1 Gracious Saviour, gentle Shepherd, Children all are dear to Thee; Gathered with Thine arms, and carried In Thy bosom may we be: Sweetly, fondly, safely tended, From all want and danger free. 2 Tender Shepherd, never leave us From Thy fold to go astray; By Thy look of love directed, May we walk the narrow way; Thus direct us, and protect us, Lest we fall an easy prey. 3 Cleanse our hearts from sinful folly, In the stream Thy love supplied, Mingled stream of blood and water, Flowing from Thy wounded side; And to heavenly pastures lead us, Where Thine own still waters glide. 4 Let Thy holy Word instruct us; Guide us daily by its light; Let Thy love and grace constrain us To approve whate'er is right, Take Thine easy yoke, and wear it, Strengthened with Thy heavenly might. 5 Taught to lisp the holy praises Which on earth Thy children sing, Both with lips and hearts unfeigned, May we our thank-offerings bring; Then with all the saints in glory Join to praise our Lord and King. Used With Tune: RESIGNATION

Ezekiel's Vison of the dry bones

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: Burdened soul praying for relief First Line: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye; See Adam's race in ruin lie; Sin spreads its trophies o'er the ground, And scatters slaughter'd heaps around. 2 And can these mouldering corpses live? And can these perish'd bones revive? That, mighty God, to thee is known; That wondrous work is all thy own. 3 Thy ministers are sent in vain To prophesy upon the slain; In vain they call, in vain they cry, Till thine almighty aid is nigh. 4 But if thy spirit deign to breath, Life spreads thro' all the realms of death: Dry bones obey thy powerful voice; They move, they waken, they rejoice: 5 So when thy trumpet's awful sound Shall shake the Heav'ns and rend the ground, Dead saints shall from their tombs arise, And spring to life beyond the skies. Scripture: Ezekiel 37:3
