And through eternity I’ll sing on. Used With Tune: WONDROUS LOVE Text Sources: American folk hymn, ca. 1811

everything to God in prayer.
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Christ the Saviour is our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do our friends despise, forsake us?
Are we tempted to despair?
Jesus' strength will shield our weakness,
and we'll find new courage there. Used With Tune: FRIENDSHIP

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

onward goes the pilgrim band,
singing songs of expectation,
marching to the promised land.
2 Clear before us, through the darkness
gleams and burns the guiding light;
so we march in hope united,
stepping fearless through the night.
3 One the light of God's own presence
o'er his ransomed people shed,
chasing far the gloom and terror,
bright'ning all the path we tread.
4 One the object of our journey,
one the faith which never tires,
one the earnest looking forward,
one the hope our God inspires.
5 One the strain that lips of thousands
lift as from the heart of one;
one the conflict, one the peril,
one the march in God begun.
6 One the gladness of rejoicing
on the far eternal shore,
where the one almighty Father
reigns in love for evermore.
7 Onward, therefore, fellow pilgrims,
onward with the Cross our aid;
bear its shame and fight its battle,
till we rest beneath its shade.
8 Soon shall come the great awaking,
soon the rending of the tomb;
then the scatt'ring of all shadows,
and the end of toil and gloom. Scripture: Exodus 13:21 Used With Tune: MARCHING

Wherefore art thou thus cast down?
Let thy griefs be turned to gladness,
Bid thy restless fears be gone;
Look to Jesus,
Look to Jesus,
And rejoice in His dear Name.
2 What though Satan's strong temptations
Vex and grieve thee day by day?
And thy sinful inclinations
Often fill thee with dismay?
Thou shalt conquer,
Thou shalt conquer,
Through the Lamb's redeeming blood.
3 Though ten thousand ills beset thee,
From without and from within,
Jesus saith He'll ne'er forget thee,
But will save from hell and sin:
He is faithful,
He is faithful,
To perform His gracious Word.
4 Though distresses now attend thee,
And Thou tread'st the thorny road,
His right hand shall still defend thee;
Soon He'll bring thee home to God!
Therefore praise Him,
Therefore praise Him,
Praise thy great Redeemer's Name. Used With Tune: CALVARY

Too deeply for mirth or song;
As the burdens press and the cares distress,

With a nameless dread and fear?
As the daylight fades into deep night shades,

When for my deep grief I find no relief,
Though my tears flow all the night long? [Refrain]

And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks,
Is it aught to Him? Does He see? [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7 Used With Tune: MY SAVIOR CARES

Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing
