How Truly Blest Are They

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Lord's Prayer 2nd petition (your kingdom come) Lyrics: 1 How truly blest are they who shun the sinners' ways, among their counsels never stand, nor take the scorners' place, 2 But make the law of God their study and delight amid the labors of the day and watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive with waters near the root. Fresh as the leaf their name shall live; their works are heav'nly fruit. 4 The wicked are not so! They no such blessing find. Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand before that judgment seat where all the saints at Christ's right hand in full assembly meet? 6 God knows and he approves the way the righteous go, but sinners and their works shall meet a dreadful overthrow.

What a Friend we have in Jesus

Author: J. Scriven, 1820-1886 Appears in 1,777 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer! 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness, Take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heaven-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour, still our refuge, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despite, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer; In His arms He'll take and shield Thee, Thou wilt find a solace there. Used With Tune: FRIENDSHIP
