Prayer has power

Author: John A. Wallace Appears in 188 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: There is an eye that never sleeps 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!

O Lord of Hosts, How Lovely

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Opening of Services Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, how lovely, Thy tabernacles are; For them my heart is yearning In banishment afar. My souls is longing, fainting, Thy sacred courts to see; My heart and flesh are crying, O living God, for Thee. 2 Beneath Thy care the sparrow Finds place for peaceful rest; To keep her young in safety The swallow finds a nest; Then, Lord, my King Almighty, Thy love will shelter me; Beside Thy holy altar My dwelling-place shall be. 3 Blest they who dwell in Zion, Whose joy and strength Thou art; Forever they will praise Thee, Thy ways are in their heart. Though tried, their tears like showers Shall fill the springs with peace, And all the way to Zion Their strength shall still increase. Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: ST. EDITH (ST. HILDA)

Importunity

Author: John Newton Appears in 214 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Jesus, who knows full well Lyrics: 1 Jesus, who knows full well The heart of every saint, Invites us all our grief to tell, To pray and never faint. 2 He bows his gracious ear, We never plead in vain; Then let us wait till he appear, And pray, and pray again. 3 Jesus, the Lord, will hear His chosen when they cry; Yes, though he may a while forbear, He'll help them from on high. 4 Then let us earnest cry, And never faint in prayer; He sees, he hears, and, from on high, Will make our cause his care.

Gen. 32:26

Author: John Newton Appears in 169 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Lord! I cannot let thee go Lyrics: 1 Lord! I cannot let thee go, Till a blessing thou bestow; Do not turn away thy face, Mine's an urgent, pressing case. 2 Once a sinner, near despair, Sought thy mercy-seat by prayer; Mercy heard and set him free Lord! that mercy came to me. 3 Many days have passed since then, Many changes I have seen; Yet have been upheld till now, Who could hold me up but thou? 4 Thou hast helped in every need This emboldens me to plead; After so much mercy past, Canst thou let me sink at last? 5 No--I must maintain my hold; 'Tis thy goodness makes me bold; I can no denial take, Since I plead for Jesus' sake. Used With Tune: HORTON
