How Sweet To Be Allowed to Pray
Author: Eliza L. Follen Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11004 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How sweet to be allowed to pray
To God, the holy One,
With filial love and trust to say,
"O God, Thy will be done!"
2 We in these sacred words can find
A cure for every ill;
They calm and soothe the troubled mind,
And bid all care be still.
3 O let that will which gave me breath,
And an immortal soul,
In joy or grief, in life or death,
My every wish control.
4 O teach my heart the blessèd way,
To imitate Thy Son!
Teach me, O God, in truth to pray,
"Thy will, not mine, be done." Languages: English Tune Title: BELMONT

How Blest The Children Of The Lord
Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11007 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How blest the children of the Lord,
Who, walking in His sight,
Make all the precepts of His word,
Their study and delight.
2 That precious wealth shall be their dower,
Which cannot know decay;
Which moth or rust shall ne’er devour,
Nor spoiler take away.
3 For them that heavenly light shall spread,
Whose cheering rays illume
The darkest hours of life, and shed
A halo round the tomb.
4 Their works of piety and love,
Performed through Christ their Lord,
Forever registered above,
Shall meet a sure reward.

O God, My God! Why, In This Hour
Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11008 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 "O God, My God! why, in this hour
Of anguish and despair,
Hast Thou withdrawn Thy saving power
Unmindful of My prayer?"
2 Thus, lingering on the accursèd tree,
Our suffering Lord complained,
When He, our captive souls to free,
The guilt of man sustained.
3 O wondrous love! content to meet,
For us, reproach and scorn;
For us, His sacred hands and feet
With cruel nails were torn.
4 For us He bowed His soul to death,
That we through Him might live;
For us He cried with latest breath,
"Father, their sins forgive."
5 O God, our God, Thou, in the hour
Of anguish and despair,
Wilt never withdraw Thy saving power
Unmindful of that prayer.

O God, My God! Why, In This Hour
My God, Who Makes The Sun To Know
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11009 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, who makes the sun to know
His proper hour to rise;
And to give light to all below,
Doth send him round the skies!
2 When from the chambers of the east
His morning race begins,
He never tires, nor stops to rest,
But round the world he shines.
3 So, like the sun, would I fulfill
The business of the day;
Begin my work betimes, and still
March on my heav’nly way.
4 Give me, O Lord, Thy early grace,
Nor let my soul complain
That the young morning of my day
Has all been spent in vain! Languages: English Tune Title: LAFAYETTE
My God, Who Makes The Sun To Know
Almighty Father, Heav'nly King
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11010 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Almighty Father, heav’nly King! Lyrics: 1 Almighty Father, heav’nly King!
Who rul’st the world above,
Accept the tribute children bring
Of gratitude and love.
2 To Thee, each morning, when we rise,
Our early vows we’ll pay;
And ere the night hath closed our eyes,
We thank Thee for the day.
3 Our Savior, ever good and kind,
To us His Word has given;
That children, such as we, may find
A certain path to Heaven.
4 Stretch out, O Lord, Thy gracious hand,
To guide our erring youth;
And lead us to that blissful land
Where dwells eternal truth.

Hear Lord, The Song Of Praise And Prayer
Author: Wiliam Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11011 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Hear, Lord, the song of praise and prayer Lyrics: 1 Hear, Lord, the song of praise and prayer,
In Heav’n Thy dwelling place,
From infants, made Thy constant care,
[originally, …made the public care]
And taught to seek Thy face!
2 Thanks for Thy Word, and for Thy day,
And grant us, we implore,
Never to waste in sinful play,
Thy holy Sabbaths more.
3 Thanks that we hear—but, Oh, impart,
To each desires sincere,
That we may listen with our heart,
And learn, as well as hear.
4 For if vain thoughts our minds engage,
Of elder far than we:
What hope that at our heedless age,
Our minds shall e’er be free?
5 Much hope, if Thou our spirits take
Under Thy gracious sway,
Who canst make the wisest wiser make
And babes as wise as they.
6 Wisdom and bliss Thy Word bestows,
A sun that ne’er declines;
And be Thy mercies showered on those
Who placed us where it shines. Languages: English Tune Title: GARDINER

Now That My Journey's Just Begun
Author: Jane Taylor Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11012 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Now that my journey’s just begun Lyrics: 1 Now that my journey’s just begun,
My course so little trod,
I’ll stay, before I further run,
And give myself to God.
2 And, lest I should be ever led
Through sinful paths to stray,
I would at once begin to tread
In wisdom’s pleasant way.
3 What sorrows may my steps attend,
I cannot now foretell;
But if the Lord will be my friend,
I know that all is well.
4 If all my earthly friends should die,
And leave me mourning here;
Since God regards the orphan’s cry,
O what have I to fear?
5 If I am rich, He’ll guard my heart,
Temptation to withstand;
And make me willing to impart
The bounties of His hand.
6 If I am poor, He can supply
Who has my table spread;
Who feeds the ravens when they cry,
And fills His poor with bread.
7 And, Lord, whatever grief or ill
For me may be in store,
Make me submissive to Thy will,
And I would ask no more.
8 Attend me through my youthful way,
Whatever be my lot;
And when I’m feeble, old, and gray,
O Lord, forsake me not.
9 Then still, as seasons hasten by,
I will for Heav’n prepare;
That God may take me when I die,
To dwell forever there.

By Whom Shall Jacob Now Arise?
Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11013 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 By whom shall Jacob now arise?
For Jacob’s friends are few,
And—what should fill us with surprise—
They seem divided, too.
2 By whom shall Jacob now arise?
For Jacob’s foes are strong.
I read their triumph in their eyes,
They think he’ll fail ere long.
3 By whom shall Jacob now arise?
Can any tell by whom?
Say, shall this branch that withered lies,
Again revive and bloom?
4 Lord, Thou canst tell—the work is Thine,
The help of man is vain.
On Jacob now arise and shine,
And he shall live again. Languages: English Tune Title: ASCRIPTION
By Whom Shall Jacob Now Arise?
Our Joy Is A Created Good
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11014 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our joy is a created good;
How soon it fades away!
Fades, at the morning hour bestowed,
Before the noon of day.
2 Joy, by its violent excess,
To certain ruin tends,
And all our rapturous happiness
In hasty sorrow ends.
3 In vain doth earthly bliss afford
A momentary shade;
It rises like the prophet’s gourd,
And withers o’er my head.
4 But of my Savior’s love possessed,
No more for earth I pine;
Secure of everlasting rest
Beneath the heavenly vine. Languages: English Tune Title: AUBREY
Our Joy Is A Created Good
One Prayer I Have
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11019 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: One prayer I have—all prayers in one Lyrics: 1 One prayer I have—all prayers in one—
When I am wholly Thine;
Thy will, my God, Thy will be done,
And let that will be mine.
2 All-wise, almighty, and all-good,
In Thee I firmly trust;
Thy ways, unknown or understood,
Are merciful and just.
3 Is life with many comforts crowned,
Upheld in peace and health,
With dear affections twined around?
—Lord, in my time of wealth—
4 May I remember that to Thee,
Whate’er I have I owe;
And back in gratitude from me,
May all Thy bounties flow.
5 Thy gifts are only then enjoyed,
When used as talents lent;
Those talents only well employed,
When in Thy service spent.
6 And though Thy wisdom takes away,
Shall I arraign Thy will?
No, let me bless Thy name, and say,
"The Lord is gracious still."
7 A pilgrim through the earth I roam,
Of nothing long possessed,
And all must fail when I go home,
For this is not my rest.
8 Write but my name upon the roll
Of Thy redeemed above;
Then heart, and mind, and strength and soul,
I’ll love Thee for Thy love. Languages: English Tune Title: BEATITUDO
