O words with heavenly comfort fraught!
Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.

By his own hand he leadeth me!
His faithful follower I would be,
for by his hand he leadeth me!

sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
by waters calm, o'er troubled sea,
still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. [Refrain]

nor ever murmur nor repine,
content, whatever lot I see,
since 'tis my God that leadeth me. [Refrain]

when by thy grace, the victory's won,
even death's cold wave I will not flee,
since God through Jordan leadeth me. [Refrain] Used With Tune: HE LEADETH ME

Come down, O Love divine
Author: Bianco da Siena, 13??-1434; R. F. Littledale, 1833-1890 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit Comforter Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek now this soul of mine,
and visit it with your own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 Oh let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming,
and let your glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
mine outward vesture be,
and lowliness become mine inner clothing,
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part,
and pride in earthly glory scorns with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far out-pass the power of human telling,
for none can guess its grace,
till we become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Scripture: John 14:26 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY
Come down, O Love divine
If You Will Only Let God Guide You
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 182 hymnals Topics: Comfort Lyrics: 1 If you will only let God guide you,
And hope in Him thro' all your ways,
Whatever comes, He'll stand beside you,
To bear you thro' the evil days;
Who trusts in God's unchanging love
Builds on the rock that cannot move.
2 Only be still, and wait His leisure
In cheerful hope, with heart content
To take whate'er the Father's pleasure
And all discerning love have sent;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To Him who chose us for His own.
3 Sing, pray, and swerve not from His ways,
But do your part in conscience true;
Trust His rich promises of grace,
So shall they be fulfilled in you;
God hears the callof those in need,
The souls that trust in Him indeed.

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 903 hymnals Topics: Comfort Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy
Like the wideness of the sea;
There’s a kindness in God's justice
Which is more than liberty.
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
2 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of the mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple
We We should take him at his word,
And our lives would be thanksgiving
In the goodness of our Lord.
3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
Like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
From a love so true and deep?
There is welcome for the sinner
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Savior,
There is healing in his blood. Scripture: Mark 6:30-34 Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me. [Refrain]

When song gives place to sighing,
When hope within me dies,

His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Why should I feel discouraged]

Sweet Hour of Prayer

That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known!
In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.
2 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless;
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His word and trust His grace,
I'll cast on Him my ev'ry care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.
3 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
May I thy consolation share,
Till from Mount Pisgah's lofty height
I view my home and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize,
And shout, while passing through the air,
"Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!" Scripture: Luke 11:1 Used With Tune: SWEET HOUR
Sweet Hour of Prayer
