What various hindrances we meet

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #515 (1886) Topics: The Christian Meditation and Prayer Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet In coming to the mercy-seat? Yet who that knows the worth of prayer But wishes to be often there? 2 Prayer makes the darkest cloud withdraw; Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw, Gives exercise to faith and love, Brings every blessing from above. 3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight; Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright; And Satan trembles when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees. 4 When Moses stood with arms spread wide, Success was found on Israel's side; But when, through weariness, they failed, That moment Amalek prevailed. 5 Have you no words? Ah! think again; Words flow apace when you complain, And fill your fellow-creatures' ears With the sad tale of all your cares. 6 Were half the breath thus vainly spent, To heaven in supplication sent, Your cheerful song would oftener be, "Hear what the Lord hath done for me! Tune Title: RETREAT

Prayer is appointed to convey

Author: Joseph Hart Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #516 (1886) Topics: The Christian Meditation and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Prayer is appointed to convey The blessings God designs to give; Long as they live should Christians pray They learn to pray when first they live. 2 If pains afflict, or wrongs oppress, If cares distract, or fears dismay, If guilt dejects, if sins distress, In every case still watch and pray. 3 'Tis prayer supports the soul that's weak, Though thought be broken, language lame; Pray, if thou canst or canst not speak, But pray with faith, in Jesus' name. 4 Depend on him; thou canst not fail; Make all thy wants and wishes known; Fear not; his merits must prevail! Ask but in faith, it shall be done. Tune Title: RETREAT

When softly falls the twilight hour

Author: F. E. Belden Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #517 (1886) Topics: Christian Experience Meditation and Prayer Lyrics: 1 When softly falls the twilight hour O'er moor and mountain, field and flower, How sweet to leave a world of care, And lift to heav'n the voice of prayer! 2 In solemn midnight's silence deep, When Nature's voice is hushed in sleep, Then heavy hearts with grief oppressed May find in prayer the sweetest rest. 3 And when with reddening blush of morn The new-born day begins to dawn, Then upward to the mercy-seat Let prayer ascend like incense sweet. 4 When mid-day's burning heat we feel, When daily cares our hearts would steal, O, then to heaven we look away, And find in prayer our surest stay.

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer

Author: William W. Walford Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #518 (1886) Topics: Christian Experience Meditation and 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! 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. 3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! May I thy consolation share Till from Mount Pisgah's lofty hight I view my home and take my flight. In my immortal flesh I'll rise To seize the everlasting prize, And shout while passing through the air, "Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!" Tune Title: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

I love to steal awhile away

Author: Phoebe Hinsdale Brown Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #519 (1886) Topics: The Christian Meditation and Prayer Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away From every cumbering care, And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer. 2 I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear; And all his promises to plead, Where none but God can hear. 3 I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore; And all my cares and sorrows cast On him whom I adore. 4 I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes to come; The prospect doth my strength renew While here away from home.

There is an eye that never sleeps

Author: John A. Wallace Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #520 (1886) Topics: The Christian Meditation and Prayer Lyrics: 1 There is an eye that never sleeps Beneath the wing of night; There is an ear that never shuts When sink the beams of light. 2 There is an arm that never tires When human strength gives way; There is a love that never fails When earthly loves decay. 3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs; That arm upholds the sky; That ear is filled with angel songs; That love is throned on high. 4 But there's a power which man can wield When mortal aid is vain, That eye, that arm, that love to reach, That listening ear to gain. 5 That power is prayer, which soars on high, Through Jesus, to the throne; And moves the hand which moves the world, To bring salvation down.

Our Father, God, who art in heaven

I love the Lord: he heard my cries

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #522 (1886) Topics: The Christian Meditation and Prayer Lyrics: 1 I love the Lord: he heard my cries, And pitied every groan; Long as I live, when troubles rise, I'll hasten to his throne. 2 I love the Lord: he bowed his ear, And chased my grief away; O let my heart no more despair, While I have breath to pray. 3 The Lord beheld me sore distressed; He bade my pains remove: Return, my soul, to God, thy rest; For thou hast known his love. Tune Title: BROWN

Far from the world, O Lord, I flee

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #523 (1886) Topics: The Christian Meditation and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Far from the world, O Lord, I flee, From strife and tumult far; From scenes where Satan wages till His most successful war. 2 The calm retreat, the silent shade, With prayer and praise agree, And seem by thy sweet bounty made For those who follow thee. 3 There, if thy Spirit touch the soul, And grace her mean abode, O with what peace, and joy, and love, Does she commune with God! 4 Author and Guardian of my life, Sweet Source of light divine, And all harmonious names in one, My Saviour! thou art mine! 5 The thanks I owe thee, and the love, A boundless, endless store, Shall echo through the realms above When time shall be no more. Tune Title: PATMOS

Prayer is the breath of God in man

Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #524 (1886) Topics: The Christian Meditation and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the breath of God in man, Returning whence it came; Love is the sacred fire within, And prayer the rising flame. 2 It gives the burdened spirit ease, And soothes the troubled breast; Yields comfort to the mourners here, And to the weary rest. 3 The humble suppliant cannot fail To have his wants supplied, Since He for sinners intercedes Who once for sinners died.
