When in the Hour of Deepest Need
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Paul Eber, 1511-1569 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 When in the hour of deepest need
We know not where to look for aid;
When days and nights of anxious thought
No help or counsel yet have brought;
2 Our comfort then is this alone:
That we may meet before your throne
And cry to you, O faithful God,
For rescue from our sorry lot.
3 For you have made a promise true
To pardon those who flee to you,
Through him whose name alone is great,
Our Savior and our advocate.
4 And so we come, O God, today
And all our woes before you lay;
For sorely tried, cast down, we stand,
Perplexed by fears on ev'ry hand.
5 Oh, from our sins hide not your face;
Absolve us through your boundless grace!
Be with us in our anguish still!
Free us at last from ev'ry ill!
6 So we with all our hearts each day
To you our glad thanksgiving pay,
Then walk obedient to your Word,
And now and ever praise you, Lord. Used With Tune: WENN WIR IN HÖCHSTEN NÖTEN SEIN

have mercy when I pray:
you listened to my prayer before--
LORD, hear my prayer today!
you listened to my prayer before--
LORD, hear my prayer today!
2 How long will people choose vain things,
love empty words and wrong?
They scorn to serve the King of kings--
O living God, how long?
They scorn to serve the King of kings--
O living God, how long?
3 The saints, O LORD, you set apart
by grace to be your own:
let sinners tremble, search their hearts,
and bow before your throne;
let sinners tremble, search their hearts,
and bow before your throne.
4 While many pray that you will bless
and bring them all they need,
unless they long for holiness,
their prayers are vain indeed;
unless they long for holiness,
their prayers are vain indeed.
5 Your light, O LORD, let us receive;
your face within us shine,
for richer is the joy you give
than all their grain and wine;
for richer is the joy you give
than all their grain and wine.
6 And even when I turn to sleep
your blessings still increase,
for you alone, O LORD, will keep
your child in perfect peace;
for you alone, O LORD, will keep
your child in perfect peace. Scripture: Psalm 4 Used With Tune: BROTHER JAMES' AIR

It Came upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 921 hymnals Topics: The Christian Year Christmas; Angels; Christian Year Christmas; Comfort/Consolation; Courage; Hope; Jesus Christ Birth and Infancy; Justice; Kingdom of God; Music and Singing; Peace (World); Prophets; Rest; Sin; Christmas Eve Year A; Christmas Eve Year B; Advent 3 Year C; Christmas Eve Year C; Christmas Day 1 Year C Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth,
to touch their harps of gold,
"Peace on the earth, good will to all,
from heaven's all-gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
to hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come
with peaceful wings unfurled;
and still their heavenly music floats
o'er all the weary world;
above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hovering wing,
and ever o'er its Babel sounds
the blessed angels sing.
3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long;
beneath the angel strain have rolled
two thousand years of wrong;
and warring humankind hears not
the love song which they bring.
O hush the noise and cease your strife,
and hear the angels sing.
4 For, lo! the days are hastening on,
by prophets seen of old,
when with the ever-circling years
shall come the time foretold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendours fling,
and the whole world send back the song
which now the angels sing. Used With Tune: CAROL

the Lord God is his name:
in pastures fresh he makes me feed,
beside the living stream.
He brings my wandering spirit back,
when I forsake his ways;
and leads me, for his mercy's sake,
in paths of truth and grace.
2 When I walk through the shades of death
your presence is my stay;
one word of your supporting breath
drives all my fears away.
Your hand, in sight of all my foes,
shall still my table spread;
my cup with blessings overflows,
your oil anoints my head.
3 The sure provisions of my God
attend me all my days;
O may your house be my abode,
and all my work be praise.
There would I find a settled rest,
while others go and come;
no more a stranger or a guest,
but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION
My Shepherd Will Supply My Need
I look to thee in every need
Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819 - 92 Appears in 104 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 I look to thee in every need,
And never look in vain;
I feel thy strong and tender love,
And all is well again:
The thought of thee is mightier far
Than sin and pain and sorrow are.
2 Discouraged in the work of life,
Disheartened by its load,
Shamed by its failures or its fears,
I sink beside the road;
But let me only think of thee,
And then new heart springs up in me.
3 Thy calmness bends serene above,
My restlessness to still;
Around me flows thy quickening life,
To nerve my faltering will:
Thy presence fills my solitude;
Thy providence turns all to good.
4 Embosomed deep in thy dear love,
Held in thy law, I stand;
Thy hand in all things I behold,
And all things in thy hand;
Thou leadest me by unsought ways,
And turn'st my mourning into praise.
Amen. Used With Tune: O JESU
I look to thee in every need
