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.

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. Topics: Angels; Arts and Music; Gathering of the Community; Praise of God Used With Tune: CULBACH

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
