How Sweet the Hour

Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: How sweet the hour of praise and prayer Refrain First Line: We all shall meet in Heav'n at last Lyrics: 1. How sweet the hour of praise and prayer, When our devotions blend, And on the wings of faith divine Our songs of joy ascend! ’Tis then we hear in tones more clear The gracious promise giv’n, That, though we part from friends on earth, We all shall meet in Heav’n. Refrain We all shall meet in Heav’n at last, We all shall meet in Heav’n; Through faith in Jesus’ precious blood, We all shall meet in Heav’n. 2. How sweet the tie of hallowed love That binds our hearts in one; When gathered in the blessèd name Of Christ, the Father’s Son! And though the parting soon may come, Yet in His Word is giv’n The blessèd hope that by and by We all shall meet in Heav’n. [Refrain] 3. Yes, soon our worn and weary feet Will reach the golden strand, Where those we love our coming wait In yonder summerland; A few more days, a few more years, By storm and tempest driv’n, With songs and everlasting joy We all shall meet in Heav’n.

What Time I am Afraid

Author: Miss J. H. Johnston Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Sometimes the sky is overcast Lyrics: 1 Sometimes the sky is overcast, I fear to lose my way; Until the storm be over-past, O keep me safe, I pray. In darkness, danger, and in doubt, My heart is sore dismayed, But "I will trust in Thee, O Lord, What time I am afraid." 2 Accusing Conscience, like a flame, Within my spirit burns, The tempter speaks of wrath and shame, My soul in anguish turns. To Him whose blood atones for me, On whom my heart is stayed, For "I will trust in Thee O Lord, What time I am afraid." 3 From all the unknown future days, My timid heart recoils, But known to God are all my ways, And all my cares and toils. The wisdom, pow'r, and might are Thine, But mine the promised aid, And "I will trust in Thee O Lord, What time I am afraid." 4 When twilight shadows softly fall, And night comes on apace, In life and death, O Lord of all, I would behold Thy face. The final hour, Oh! let me meet In peace, and undismayed, For "I will trust in Thee O Lord, What time I am afraid." Scripture: Psalm 56:3 Used With Tune: SCOTCH
