Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Lay Helpers Guilds or Friendly Societies Lyrics: 1 Through Him, Who all our sickness felt, Who all our sorrows bare, Through Him, in Whom Thy fullness dwelt, We lift to Thee our prayer. 2 Help us to help each other, Lord, Each other's burdens bear; Let each his friendly aid afford, To soothe another's care. 3 Help us to build each other up, Help us ourselves to prove; Increase our faith, confirm our hope, And perfect us in love. 4 Complete at length Thy work of grace, And take us to Thy rest, Among the saints who see Thy face, To be forever blest.

The Son of Consolation!

Author: M. Coote Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Lay Helpers Lyrics: 1 The son of Consolation! Of Levi's priestly line, Filled with the Holy Spirit And fervent faith divine, With lowly self-oblation, For Christ an offering meet, He laid his earthly riches At the Apostles' feet. 2 The son of Consolation! Oh, name of soothing balm! 5It fell on sick and weary Like breath of heaven's own calm! And the blest son of comfort, With fearless, loving hand, The Gentiles' great Apostle Led to the faithful band. 3 The son of Consolation! Drawn near unto his Lord, He won the martyr's glory, And passed to his reward. With him is faith now ended, Forever lost in sight, But love, made perfect, fills him With praise, and joy, and light. 4 The son of Consolation! Lord, hear our humble prayer, That each of us Thy children Such blessèd name may bear! That we, sweet comfort shedding O'er homes of pain and woe, Midst sickness and in prisons, May seek Thee here below. 5 The sons of Consolation! Oh, what the bliss will be, When Christ the King shall tell them "Ye did it unto Me!" The merciful and loving The Lord of life shall own, And as His priceless jewels Shall set them round His throne. Amen. Used With Tune: O BONA PATRIA

O Son of God, our Captain of salvation

Author: J. Ellerton Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Lay Helpers Lyrics: 1 O Son of God, our Captain of salvation, Thyself by suffering schooled to human grief, We bless Thee for Thy sons of consolation, Who follow in the steps of Thee their Chief; 2 Those whom Thy Spirit's dread vocation severs, To lead the vanguard of Thy conquering host; Whose toilsome years are spent in brave endeavors To bear Thy saving Name from coast to coast; 3 Those whose bright faith makes feeble hearts grow stronger, And sends fresh warriors to the great campaign, Bids the lone convert feel estranged no longer, And wins the sundered to be one again; 4 And all true helpers, patient, kind, and skilful, Who shed Thy light across our darkened earth, Counsel the doubting, and restrain the wilful, Soothe the sick bed, and share the children's mirth. 5 Such was Thy Levite, strong in self-oblation To cast his all at Thine Apostles' feet; He whose new name, through every Christian nation From age to age our thankful strains repeat. 6 Thus, Lord, Thy Barnabas in memory keeping, Still be Thy Church's watchword, "Comfort ye;" Till in our Father's house shall end our weeping, And all our wants be satisfied in Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: EIRENE
