Here, Savior, in this Quiet Place

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: James 5:13-16 Lyrics: 1 Here, Savior, in this quiet place, where anyone may kneel, I also come to ask for grace, believing you can heal. 2 If pain of body, stress of mind, destroys my inward peace, In prayer for others may I find the secret of release. 3 If self upon its sickness feeds and turns my life to gall, Let me not brood upon my needs, but simply tell you all. 4 You never said “You ask too much,” to any troubled soul. I long to feel your healing touch - will you not make me whole? 5 But if the thing I most desire is not your way for me, May faith, when tested in the fire, prove its integrity. 6 Of all my prayers, may this be chief: till faith is fully grown, Lord, disbelieve my unbelief, and claim me as your own.

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.

What various hindrances we meet

Author: Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 528 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.
