What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Author: Joseph M. Scriven, 1819-1886 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Scripture: James 5:13 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 your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
you wilt find a solace there. Used With Tune: CONVERSE

O Christ, the healer, we have come
Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: James 5:13-16 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, we have come
to pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored,
when reached by love that never ends?
2 From every ailment flesh endures
our bodies clamour to be freed;
yet in our hearts we would confess
that wholeness is our deepest need.
3 How strong, O Lord, are our desires,
how weak our knowledge of ourselves!
Release in us those healing truths
unconscious pride resists or shelves.
4 In conflicts that destroy our health
we diagnose the world's disease;
our common life declares our ills:
is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
5 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
in your community may find
the wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach the whole of humankind. Topics: The Church Celebrates; The Church Celebrates Wholeness and Healing; Suffering; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: ANGELUS

Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. [Refrain]

Filled with His goodness, lost in His love. [Refrain]

One sweetly solemn thought
Author: Phebe Cary Appears in 699 hymnals Scripture: James 5:8 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er:
I'm nearer home to-day
Than I have been before.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne;
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the cross,
Nearer to gain the crown.
4 But lying dark between,
And winding through the night,
The deep and unknown stream!
Crossed ere we reach the light.
5 Jesus, confirm my trust;
Strengthen the hand of faith,
To feel thee when I stand
Upon the shore of death.
6 Be near me when my feet
Are slipping o'er the brink,
For I am nearer home,
Perhaps, than now I think. Topics: Life and Death; Nearing Home

Songs of Praise the Angels Sang
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 542 hymnals Scripture: James 5:13-20 Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang,
heaven with alleluias rang
when creation was begun,
when God spoke and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn
when the Prince of Peace was born;
songs of praise arose when he
captive led captivity.
3 Heaven and earth must pass away,
songs of praise shall crown that day;
God will make new heavens and earth;
songs of praise shall hail their birth.
4 And shall Christians fail to sing
till on earth Christ come as King?
No, the church delights to raise
psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
still in songs of praise rejoice;
learning here, by faith and love,
songs of praise to sing above.
6 Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto you we raise.
Jesus, Saviour, living Word,
with the Spirit be adored.

What various hindrances we meet
Author: Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 524 hymnals Scripture: James 5:17-18 Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet
In coming to a mercy-seat!
Yet who that knows the worth of prayer
But wishes to be often there!
2 Prayer makes the darkened clouds 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 Have you no words? Ah, think again:
Words flow apace when you complain,
And fill a fellow-creature's ear
With the sad tale of all your care.
5 Were half the breath thus vainly spent
To heaven in supplication sent,
Our cheerful song would oftener be,
Hear what the Lord hath done for me. Topics: Prayer; Hindrances to Prayer

Throw Out the Life-Line
Author: Edward S. Ufford Appears in 362 hymnals Scripture: James 5:20 First Line: Throw out the Life-Line across the dark wave Refrain First Line: Throw out the Life-Line! Lyrics: 1 Throw out the Life-Line across the dark wave;
There is a brother whom someone should save;
Somebody’s brother! oh, who then will dare
To throw out the Life-Line, his peril to share?
Chorus:
Throw out the Life-Line!
Throw out the Life-Line!
Someone is drifting away;
Throw out the Life-Line!
Throw out the Life-Line!
Someone is sinking today.
2 Throw out the Life-Line with hand quick and strong:
Why do you tarry, why linger so long?
See! he is sinking; oh, hasten today
And out with the Life-Boat! away, then, away! (Chorus)
3 Throw out the Life-Line to danger-fraught men,
Sinking in anguish where you’ve never been:
Winds of temptation and billows of woe
Will soon hurl them out where the dark waters flow. (Chorus)
4 Soon will the season of rescue be o’er,
Soon will they drift to eternity’s shore,
Haste then, my brother, no time for delay,
But throw out the Life-Line and save them today. (Chorus)
