Sweet Hour of Prayer

Author: William Walford Hymnal: Sing Joyfully #166 (1989) Topics: Meditation 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, Thy wings shall my petition bear, To Him, whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting the 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. 3 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! Languages: English Tune Title: [Sweet hour of prayer]

O Thou, in all Thy might so far

Author: Rev. Frederick Lucian Hosmer Hymnal: The Hymnal #176 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Meditation Lyrics: 1 O Thou, in all Thy might so far, In all Thy love so near, Beyond the range of sun and star, And yet beside us here: 2 What heart can comprehend Thy Name, Or, searching, find Thee out, Who art within, a quickening Flame, A Presence round about. 3 Yet though I know Thee but in part, I ask not, Lord, for more; Enough for me to know Thou art, To love Thee and adore. 4 And dearer than all things I know Is childlike faith to me, That makes the darkest way I go An open path to Thee. Amen. Tune Title: KILMARNOCK

To all who live, show us forgiveness that we may live. 2 To speak of loving is not to love. Lies move among us, below, above. When we are raging, needing to mend, show us, O spirit, how to befriend.

Thousands, O Lord of Hosts! this day

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #183 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sick chamber meditation Lyrics: Thousands, O Lord of Hosts! this day, Around Thine altar meet; And tens of thousands throng to pay Their homage at Thy feet. They see Thy power and glory there, As I have seen them too; They read, they hear, they join in prayer, As I was wont to do. They sing Thy deeds, as I have sung In sweet and solemn lays; Were I among them, my glad tongue Might learn new themes of praise. For Thou art in their midst to teach When on Thy name they call, And Thou hast blessings, Lord, for each,-- Hast blessings, Lord, for all. I, of such fellowship bereft, In spirit turn to Thee; Oh! hast not Thou a blessing left, A blessing, Lord, for me? 186 The dew lies thick on all the ground; Shall my poor fleece be dry? The manna rains from heaven around; Shall I of hunger die? Behold Thy prisoner;--loose my bands, If 'tis Thy gracious will: If not,--contented in Thy hands, Behold Thy prisoner still! I may not to Thy courts repair, Yet here Thou surely art; Lord, consecrate an house of prayer In my surrender'd heart. To faith reveal the things unseen, To hope the joys untold; Let love, without a veil between, Thy glory now behold. Oh! make Thy face on me to shine, That doubt and fear may cease; Lift up Thy countenance benign On me,--and give me peace. Languages: English
Thousands, O Lord of Hosts! this day
