Author: Joseph M. Scriven Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Topics: Afflictions Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry 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? Precious Savior, still our refuge! Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield you; you will find a solace there. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

Change and decay in all around I see. O Lord who changes not, abide with me. 3 I need your presence every passing hour. What but your grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like yourself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with you at hand to bless, though ills have weight, and tears their bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory? I triumph still, if you abide with me. 5 Hold now your Word before my closing eyes. Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Scripture: Psalm 102:26-27 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

What crosses and afflictions meet

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Crosses and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 What crosses and afflictions meet, Whilst we on earth abide; With Satan and the world beset, And vex'd on ev'ry side. 2 Our toils and labours of this life, Are great and numberless; Our disappointments, frets and strife, Do ever mar our peace. 3 When we suppose we do possess The things that works our joys; They prove the cause of our distress, And are but trifling toys. 4 The world is but a vale of tears, A scene of constant woe: We live in constant dread and fears, While we live here below. 5 With anxious cares our minds are fill'd, For life and health and food: To such despairing thoughts we yield, When we should trust to God. 6 Such frail and feeble creatures we, We seek but never find, Such treasures as we hope should be; Real peace and joy of mind. 7 O mighty Saviour, gracious Lord! Bestow on us that pow'r: That we may trust unto thy word, And doubt and fear no more.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 859 hymnals Topics: Church Afflicted Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the Word: from heav'n he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. 2 Elect from ev'ry nation, yet one o'er all the earth, her charter of salvation one Lord, one faith, one birth; one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses, with ev'ry grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder men see her sore oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed, yet saints their watch are keeping, their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. 4 The church shall never perish! Her dear Lord to defend, to guide, sustain, and cherish, is with her to the end; though there be those that hate her, and false sons in her pale, against or foe or traitor she ever shall prevail. 5 'Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, she waits the consummation of peace forevermore; till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. 6 Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee. Scripture: Romans 12:5 Used With Tune: AURELIA
