Wait a little, you may see

Author: E. R. Latta Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: If beset by doubts and fears Refrain First Line: Wait a little Lyrics: 1 If beset by doubts and fears, And no ray of light appears, Wait a little, wait a little, you may see; If your burden seems so great, That you scarce can bear the weight, Wait a little, wait a little, you may see. Refrain: Wait a little, Wait a little, Wait a little, wait a little, you may see; Wait a little, you may see; Wait a little, you may see; Wait, wait a little you may see. 2 If your hopes that seemed so bright, All are doom’d to suffer blight, Wait a little, wait a little, you may see; What your heart would fain possess, Might bring only wretchedness, Wait a little, wait a little, you may see. [Refrain] 3 Where there is no care and pain, It may all be rendered plain, Wait a little, wait a little, you may see; Trust the Lord and do the right, Till your faith shall turn to sight; Wait a little, wait a little, you may see.

Going Down to the Grave

Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Going down to the grave, with no hope in thy heart Refrain First Line: Oh, turn to thy God Lyrics: 1 Going down to the grave, with no hope in thy heart, That thy God will receive thee all guilt as thou art; Life’s sunshine extinguished with faltering tread, In darkness and doubt going down to the dead. Refrain: Oh, turn to thy God Who dwelleth on high, Come trusting his word, And thou shalt not die. 2 Going down to the grave, in the blackness of night, No star-beam of love from the Father of light; No Savior’s sweet presence and promise to save; A stranger to God, going down to the grave. [Refrain] 3 No God and no hope, where, oh, where is thy stay? Thy Savior long pleading turns not yet away; His sad eye will pity, his strong arm can save, Why then in thine own strength go down to the grave. [Refrain] 4 Thine hours of gay pleasure ere long will be o’er, A dark gulf awaits thee, its mad waters roar; Too late thou wilt call on the Mighty to save, When thy pray’r shall be lost in eternity’s grave. [Refrain] Topics: Awakening; Solo Used With Tune: [Going down to the grave, with no hope in thy heart]

Refrain: Rock of Ages, Rock of ages, cleft for me, Rock of Ages, Let me hide in thee. 2 Could my tears, Could my tears forever flow, Could my zeal, Could my zeal no languor know, These for sin could not atone, Thou must save, and thou alone, In my hand no price I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling. [Refrain] 3 While I draw, While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes, When my eyes shall close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold thee on thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee [Refrain] Topics: Choir; Christ Used With Tune: [Rock of ages, Rock of ages cleft for me]

Mother's prayer

Author: W. H. Gardner Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Of all the pray'ers that upward float Refrain First Line: O, the love and deep despair Lyrics: 1 Of all the pray’rs that upward float, Unto the loving Father’s ear; There’s none beside a mother’s lips, He bends more tenderly to hear. Refrain: Oh, the love and deep despair, Uttered in a mother’s prayer, How the scalding teardrops flow, As she tells to God her woe; Asking him for strength to bear, All her heavy load of care. 2 How many hearts as hard as flint, Are softened by her fond appeal; Ah, then they think of days gone by, When by their side she used to kneel. [Refrain] 3 A mother’s pray’r brings wanderers, From far across the stormy sea; It cleanses all the years of sin, And fills the heart with purity. [Refrain] 4 When friends forsake, and ruin stares The weary sinner in the face; The power of a mother’s pray’r, Can save him by its matchless grace. [Refrain] Topics: Love; Prayer Used With Tune: [Of all the prayers that upward float]

The assurance

Author: Mrs. Amy A. Green Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When thou passeth thro' the waters Lyrics: 1 When thou passeth thro’ the waters, Wildly tho’ the billows roar, It is written, “I am with thee, Follow where I go before.” When the rivers of affliction, Fill thy soul with dread and fear; They shall never overflow thee, I, the Lord, am ever near. When the fiery burning furnace, Seems to hedge thy way around, Even on thy garment’s borders, Burn or flame shall not be found, For the Holy One, thy Savior, I, the Lord, will be thy shield; I have t thee out of bondage, Nor to foes thy light will yield. 2 Thou wast precious in my presence, I have loved thee with a care, That is far beyond a mother’s, For her child of love and prayer I have found thee, yea, have made thee, And have called thy name by mine; For my glory have created, And will keep by pow’r divine.
