Loving Spirit, God of peace, Great distributor of grace, Rest upon this congregation; Hear, O hear our supplication. 2 From that height which knows no measure, As a gracious show'r descend; Bringing down the richest treasure Man can wish, or God can send. O thou Glory, shining down From the Father and the Son, Grant us thine illumination; Rest upon this congregation. 3 Come, thou best of all donations God can give, or we implore; Having thy sweet consolations We need wish for nothing more. Come with unction and with pow'r, On our souls thy graces show'r; Author of the new creation, Make our hearts thy habitation. Amen. Scripture: Romans 14:17 Used With Tune: PSALM 42 (COBLENTZ)

Say, why in the valley of death should I weep, or alone in this wilderness rove? 3 O why should I wander an alien from Thee, or cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice, when my sorrows they see, and smile at the tears I have shed. 4 He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice, and myriads wait for His word; He speaks and eternity, filled with His voice, re-echoes the praise of the Lord. 5 Dear Shepherd! I hear, and will follow Thy call; I know the sweet sound of Thy voice; restore and defend me, for Thou art my All, And in Thee I will ever rejoice. Used With Tune: DAVIS

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 544 hymnals Topics: Comfort/Consolation Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand: the shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land, a home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, from the burning of the noontide heat and the burden of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus my eyes at times can see the very dying form of one who suffered there for me; and from my smitten heart with tears two wonders I confess, the wonder of his glorious love, and my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, your shadow for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of his face; content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss, my sinful self my only shame, my glory all, the cross.
