My prayer to the promise shall cling
Author: A. L. Waring Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics:
My prayer to the promise shall cling —
I will not give heed to a doubt;
For I ask for the one needful thing,
Which I cannot be happy without.
A spirit of lowly repose
In the love of the Lamb that was slain,
A heart to be touched with his woes,
And a care not to grieve Him again —
The peace that my Savior has bought,
The cheerfulness nothing can dim,
The love that can bring every thought
Into perfect obedience to Him —
17
The wisdom his mercy to own
In the way he directs me to take, —
To glory in Jesus alone,
And to love, and do good for His sake.
All this Thou hast offered to me
In the promise whereon I will rest;
For faith, O my Savior, in Thee,
Is the substance of all my reqnest.
Thy word has commanded my prayer,
Thy Spirit has taught me to pray;
And all my unholy despair
Is ready to vanish away.
Thou wilt not be weary of me,
Thy promise my faith will sustain,
And soon, very soon, I shall see
That I have not been asking in vain.
Scripture: John 14:14
My prayer to the promise shall cling
Beam on us brightly, blessed day
Author: A. L. Waring Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
Beam on us brightly, blessed day,
Dawn softly for our Savior's sake;
And waft thy sweetness o'er our way,
To draw us heavenward when we wake.
O holy life that shall not end,
Light that will never cease to be —
May every Sabbath–day we spend,
Add to our happiness in Thee.
Scripture: Exodus 20:11
Beam on us brightly, blessed day
