Author: Hon. Henry S. Washburn Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.3 #176 (1892) First Line: Oft in hours of pain and conflict Lyrics: 1 Oft in hours of pain and conflict, Come these gracious words to me, Full of tenderness and pity, “As thy days, thy strength shall be.” Not a sparrow ever falleth, Nor a lamb bewildered stray, But his loving arms enfold them, As they shelter me today. 2 Ever the bruised reed is broken, He will deign to hear my prayer, That no trial shall befall me, Greater than my heart can bear. O the peace this promise bringeth, All of doubt and fear aside, That my trusting heart may ever, In his boundless love confide. Topics: Faith Tune Title: [Oft in hours of pain and conflict]

1813 - 1903 Person Name: Hon. Henry S. Washburn Author of "Gracious Promises" in Triumphant Songs No.3 Washburn, Henry S., was born at Providence, Rhode Island, June 10, 1813; spent his boyhood at Kingston, Massachusetts, and was educated at Worcester and Brown University. Subsequently he was a manufacturer at Worcester and Boston. Since 1875 he has been the President of the Union Mutual Life Insurance Co. Mr. Washburn has held some prominent posts, and has been active in public matters. He has written various hymns and songs, the best known of which is:— Let every heart rejoice and sing . National Hymn. This "was written for a celebration in Faneuil Hall, Boston, July 4, 1842, and sung by the Sunday School Children of the city." It was set to music by Garcia, and often subsequently used at home and abroad. The author altered it for The Psalmist, 1843, No. 1005; and in that form it has been generally known. [Rev. F. M.
