Come, Ye Disconsolate, Where'er Ye Languish

Author: Thomas Moore; Thomas Hastings Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 1,091 hymnals Topics: Prayer in Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish, Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure! Here speaks the Comforter, in mercy saying, “Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot cure.” 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above. Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrows but heaven can remove. Used With Tune: ALMA (CONSOLATION)

To God My Earnest Voice I Raise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Prayer in Afflictions Lyrics: 1 To God my earnest voice I raise, To God my voice imploring prays; Before His face my grief I show And tell my trouble and my woe. 2 When gloom and sorrow compass me, The path I take is known to Thee, And all the toils that foes do lay To snare Thy servant in his way. 3 All unprotected, lo, I stand, No friendly guardian at my hand, No place of flight or refuge near, And none to whom my soul is dear. 4 O Lord, my Savior, now to Thee, Without a hope besides, I flee, To Thee, my shelter from the strife, My portion in the land of life. 5 Be Thou my help when troubles throng, For I am weak and foes are strong; My captive soul from prison bring, And thankful praises I will sing. 6 The righteous then shall gather round To share the blessing I have found, Their hearts made glad because they see How richly God has dealt with me. Scripture: Psalm 142 Used With Tune: HAMBURG

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: CONVERSE (ERIE)
