Come, let us to the Lord our God
Author: John Morison, 1750-98 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 108 hymnals Scripture: Mark 4:35-41 Lyrics: 1 Come, let us to the Lord our God
with contrite hearts return;
our God is gracious, nor will leave
the desolate to mourn.
2 His voice commands the tempest forth,
and stills the stormy wave,
and though his arm be strong to smite
'tis also strong to save.
3 Long has the night of sorrow reigned,
the dawn shall bring us light:
God shall appear, and we shall rise
with gladness in his sight.
4 Our hearts, if God we seek to know,
shall know him and rejoice;
his coming like the morn shall be,
like morning songs his voice.
5 As dew upon the tender herb,
diffusing fragrance round;
as showers that usher in the spring,
and cheer the thirsty ground:
6 so shall his presence bless our souls
and shed a joyful light;
that hallowed morn shall chase away
the sorrows of the night. Topics: Advent; Assurance; Faithfulness of God; Inner Peace; Jesus Christ Coming today; Joy; Lent; Penitence; Renewal; Sovereignty of God; Worship Gathering Used With Tune: KILMARNOCK

To them that seek thy face;
And mingles with the tempest's roar,
The whispers of thy grace.

Till all the tumults cease;
And gales of paradise shall sooth
My weary soul to peace.

In Thee to conquer sin.

And through Thy Passion-tide,
Yea, evermore, in life and death,
Jesus! with us abide.

Of suffering over-past,
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last!

So teach us, gracious Lord,
To die to self, and so to live
By your most holy word.

It's Just Like His Great Love
Author: Edna H. Worrell Appears in 81 hymnals Scripture: Mark 4:39 First Line: A friend I have called Jesus Refrain First Line: It's just like Jesus to roll the clouds away Lyrics: 1 A friend I have called Jesus,
Whose love is strong and true,
And never fails howe’er ’tis tried,
No matter what I do;
I sinned against this love of His,
But when I knelt to pray,
Confessing all my guilt to Him,
The sin-clouds rolled away.
Chorus:
It’s just like Jesus to roll the clouds away,
It’s just like Jesus to keep me day by day.
It’s just like Jesus all along the way,
It’s just like His great love.
2 Sometimes when clouds of trouble
Bedim the sky above,
I cannot see my Savior’s face,
I doubt His wondrous love;
But He, from Heaven’s mercy seat,
Beholding my despair,
In pity bursts the clouds between,
And shows me He is there. (Chorus)
3 When sorrow’s clouds o’ertake me,
And break upon my head,
When life seems worse than useless,
And I were better dead;
I take my grief to Jesus then,
Nor do I go in vain,
For heav’nly hope He gives that cheers
Like sunshine after rain. (Chorus)
4 Oh, I could sing forever
Of Jesus’ love divine,
Of all His care and tenderness
For this poor life of mine;
His love is in and over all,
And wind and waves obey
When Jesus whispers, “Peace, be still!”
And rolls the clouds away. (Chorus)
