Jesus loves to answer prayer;
he himself has bid thee pray,
therefore will not say thee nay.

large petitions with thee bring;
for his grace and power are such
none can ever ask too much.
3 With my burden I begin:
Lord, remove this load of sin;
let thy blood, for sinners spilt,
set my conscience free from guilt.
4 Lord, I come to thee for rest;
take possession of my breast;
there thy blood-bought right maintain,
and without a rival reign.
5 While I am a pilgrim here,
let thy love my spirit cheer;
be my guide, my guard, my friend,
lead me to my journey’s end. Topics: Proper 11 Year B; Proper 26 Year B; Lent Used With Tune: EAST PECKHAM

O for a Faith That Will Not Shrink
Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 713 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
Tho' pressed by every foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But in the hour of grief or pain
Will lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without,
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;
4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That seas of trouble cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile;
5 Lord, give me such a faith as this,
And then whate’er may come,
I’ll taste, e’en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA

As with gladness men of old
Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837-1898 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 656 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old
did the guiding star behold,
as with joy they hailed its light,
leading onward, beaming bright;
so, most gracious God, may we
evermore be led to thee.
2 As with joyful steps they sped
Saviour, to thy lowly bed,
there to bend the knee before
thee whom heaven and earth adore;
so may we with willing feet
ever seek thy mercy-seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
at that cradle rude and bare,
so may we with holy joy,
pure and free from sin’s alloy,
all our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to thee, our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus, every day
keep us in the narrow way,
and, when earthly things are past,
bring our ransomed souls at last
where they need no star to guide,
where no clouds thy glory hide.
5 In the heavenly country bright
need they no created light;
thou its light, its joy, its crown,
thou its sun which goes not down;
there for ever may we sing
alleluias to our King. Topics: Epiphany; Epiphany Used With Tune: DIX

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 637 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:13 First Line: "Forever with the Lord!" Lyrics: 1 "Forever with the Lord!"
Amen, so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortality.
2 Here in the body pent
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A days march nearer home.
3 "Forever with the Lord!"
Father if 'tis Thy will,
The promise of that faithful word,
E'en here to me fulfill.
4 So when my latest breath
Shall rend the vail in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
5 Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word?
And oft repeat before the throne,
"Forever with the Lord!"

And lean for comfort on His breast
Till He conduct me home. (Chorus)

With Him I'll brave death's chilling tide,
And reach my heav'nly home. (Chorus)

for amber waves of grain,
for purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain!

God shed his grace on thee,
and crown thy good with *brotherhood
from sea to shining sea!

in liberating strife,
who more than self their country loved,
and mercy more than life!

God mend thine every flaw;
confirm thy soul in self-control,
thy liberty in law!
3 O beautiful for patriot dream
that sees beyond the years
thine alabaster cities gleam,
undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
till all success be nobleness
and every gain divine!
