What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Scriven, 1819-1886 Appears in 1,815 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: [What a Friend we have in Jesus]

Author: Charles C. Luther, 1847-1924 Appears in 138 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service First Line: Must I go, and empty-handed Refrain First Line: Must I go, and empty-handed Lyrics: 1 “Must I go, and empty-handed,” Thus my dear Redeemer meet? Not one day of service give Him, Lay no trophy at His feet? Refrain: “Must I go, and empty-handed?” Must I meet my Savior so? Not one soul with which to greet Him: Must I empty-handed go? 2 Not at death I shrink or falter, For my Savior saves me now; But to meet Him empty-handed, Tho't of that now clouds my brow. (Refrain) 3 O the years in sinning wasted, Could I but recall them now, I would give them to my Saviour, To His will I’d gladly bow. (Refrain) 4 O ye saints, arouse, be earnest, Up and work while yet ’tis day; Ere the night of death o’ertake thee, Strive for souls while still you may. (Refrain) Used With Tune: [Must I go, and empty-handed]

Author: Folliott Sandford Pierpoint Appears in 667 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 For the beauty of the earth For the beauty of the skies, For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies. Christ, our God, to Thee we raise, This our sacrifice of praise. 2 For the beauty of each hour, Of the day and of the night, Hill and vale, and tree and flower, Sun and moon and stars of light. Christ, our God, to Thee we raise, This our sacrifice of praise. 3 For the joy of ear and eye, For the heart and mind’s delight, For the mystic harmony Linking sense to sound and sight, Christ, our God, to Thee we raise, This our sacrifice of praise. 4 For Thyself, best Gift divine! To our race so freely given, For that great, great love of thine, Peace on earth and joy in heaven, Christ, our God, to Thee we raise, This our sacrifice of praise. Amen. Used With Tune: HEATHLANDS
