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.

Cumbered with a load of care?

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Has not exposed my hope to shame.

My secret groaning reached his ears;
He gave my inward pains relief;
And calmed the tumult of my fears.
To him the poor lift up their eyes,
Their faces feel the heav'nly shine;
A beam of mercy from the skies
Fills them with light and joy divine.
His holy angels pitch their tents
Around the men that serve the Lord;
O fear and love him, all his saints,
Taste of his grace, and trust his word.
The wild young lions, pinched with pain
And hunger, roar through all the wood;
But none shall seek the Lord in vain,
Nor want supplies of real good.

His Spirit heals their broken bones,
They in his praise employ their breath.

I'll bless the Lord from day to day;
How good are all his ways!
Ye humble souls that use to pray,
Come, help my lips to praise.
Sing to the honor of his name,
How a poor suff'rer cried,
Nor was his hope exposed to shame,
Nor was his suit denied.
When threat'ning sorrows round me stood,
And endless fears arose,
Like the loud billows of a flood,
Redoubling all my woes;
I told the Lord my sore distress,
With heavy groans and tears;
He gave my sharpest torments ease,
And silenced all my fears.
[O sinners, come and taste his love,
Come, learn his pleasant ways;
And let your own experience prove
The sweetness of his grace.
He bids his angels pitch their tents
Round where his children dwell;
What ills their heav'nly care prevents
No earthly tongue can tell.]
[O love the Lord, ye saints of his;
His eye regards the just:
How richly blest their portion is
Who make the Lord their trust!
Young lions, pinched with hunger, roar
And famish in the wood;
But God supplies his holy poor
With every needful good.]

Come, children, learn to fear the Lord
And that your days be long,
Let not a false or spiteful word
Be found upon your tongue.
Depart from mischief, practise love,
Pursue the works of peace;
So shall the Lord your ways approve,
And set your souls at ease.
His eyes awake to guard the just,
His ears attend their cry;
When broken spirits dwell in dust,
The God of grace is nigh.
What though the sorrows here they taste
Are sharp and tedious too,
The Lord, who saves them all at last,
Is their supporter now.
Evil shall smite the wicked dead;
But God secures his own,
Prevents the mischief when they slide,
Or heals the broken bone.
When desolation, like a flood,
O'er the proud sinner rolls,
Saints find a refuge in their God,
For he redeemed their souls.

Why doth the Lord stand off so far?

And why conceal his Face,
When great Calamities appear,
And Times of deep Distress?
2 Lord, shall the Wicked still deride
Thy Justice and thy Power?
Shall they advance their Heads in Pride,
And still thy Saints devour?
3 They put thy Judgments from their Sight,
And then insult the Poor;
They boast in their exalted Height,
That they shall fall no more.
4 Arise, O GOD, lift up thine Hand,
Attend our humble Cry;
No Enemy shall dare to stand,
When GOD ascends on high.
Pause.
5 Why do the Men of Malice rage,
And say, with foolish Pride,
"The GOD of Heav'ns will ne'er engage
"To fight on Zion's Side."
6 But thou for ever art our Lord,
And pow'rful is thine Hand,
As when the Heathen felt thy Sword,
And perish'd from thy Land.
7 Thou wilt prepare our Hearts to pray,
And cause thine Ear to hear;
He hearkens what his Children say,
And puts the World in Fear.
8 Proud Tyrants shall no more oppress,
No more despise the Just;
And mighty Sinners shall confess
They are but Earth and Dust. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English

Eternal Beam of Light Divine
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #29 (1977) Topics: Christian Experience and Devotion Consecration and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Eternal beam of light divine,
Fountain of unexhausted love,
In whom the Father’s glories shine,
Thro' earth beneath, and heav'n above:
2 Jesus, the weary wand'rer’s rest,
Give me thy easy yoke to bear,
With steadfast patience arm my breast,
With spotless love and holy fear.
3 Thankful I take the cup from Thee,
Prepared and mingled by Thy skill,
Tho' bitter to the taste it be,
Pow'rful the wounded soul to heal.
4 Be thou, O Rock of Ages, nigh!
So shall each murmuring thought be gone,
And grief and fear, and care shall fly,
As clouds before the mid-day sun.
5 Speak to my warring passions 'Peace!'
Say to my trembling heart, 'Be still!'
Thy pow'r my strength and fortress is,
For all things serve thy sov'reign will.
6 O death, where is thy sting? Where now
Thy boasted victory, O grave?
Who shall contend with God? or who
Can hurt whom God delights to save? Languages: English Tune Title: ELTHAM

Come, O Thou Traveler
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #30 (1977) Topics: Christian Experience and Devotion Consecration and Prayer First Line: Come, O thou traveler unknown Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou traveler unknown
Whom still I hold but cannot see;
My company before is gone,
And I am left alone with Thee;
With Thee all night I mean to stay
And wrestle till the break of day.
2 I need not tell Thee who I am,
My misery and sin declare;
Thyself hast called my by my name,
Look on Thy hands and read it there.
But who, I ask Thee, who art Thou!
Tell me thy name and tell me now.
3 Yield to me now, for I am weak,
But confident in self-despair;
Speak to my heart, in blessings speak;
Be conquered by my instant prayer.
Speak or Thou never hence shalt move,
And tell me if Thy name is Love.
4 'Tis Love! 'tis Love, Thou diedst for me;
I hear Thy whisper in my heart;
The morning breaks, the shadows flee,
Pure universal Love Thou art!
To me, to all, Thy mercies move;
Thy nature and Thy name is Love. Languages: English Tune Title: WOODBURY

Open, Lord, My Inward Ear
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #31 (1977) Topics: Christian Experience and Devotion Consecration and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Open, Lord, my inward ear,
and bid my heart rejoice;
Bid my quiet spirit hear
Thy comfortable voice;
Never in the whirlwind found,
or where earthquake rocks the place,
Still and silent is the sound,
The whisper of Thy grace.
2 Show me, as my soul can bear,
the depth of inbred sin;
All my unbelief declare
the pride that lurks within:
Take me, whom Thyself hast bought,
and bring into captivity
Every high aspiring thought
that would not stoop to Thee.
3 Lord, my time is in Thy hand,
my soul to Thee convert;
Thou canst make me understand,
though I am slow of heart;
Thine in whom I live and move,
Thine, Lord, the work, the praise is Thine!
Thou art wisdom, power and love,
and all Thou art is mine. Languages: English Tune Title: OBEDIENCE

Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #34 (1977) Topics: Christian Experience and Devotion Consecration and Prayer Lyrics: 1. Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near;
Day-star, in my heart appear.
2. Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by Thee;
Joyless is the day's return,
Till Thy mercy's beams I see;
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.
3. Visit then this soul of mine;
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiancy Divine;
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more Thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day. Languages: English Tune Title: [Christ, whose glory fills the skies]
