What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Author: Joseph M. Scriven, 1819-1886 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #473 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Matthew 11:19 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!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O 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 wilt find a solace there. Languages: English Tune Title: CONVERSE

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #488 (1987) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Matthew 11 Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live."
I came to Jesus and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
look unto me; your morn shall rise
and all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus and I found
in him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk
till traveling days are done.

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #61 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Scripture: Matthew 11:19 Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy

and more graces for the good;
there is mercy with the Savior;
there is healing in his blood.

than the measure of our mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
we would take him at his word,
and our lives would be illumined
by the presence of our Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: WELLESLEY

One There Is, above All Others
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #186 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Scripture: Matthew 11:19 Lyrics: 1 One there is, above all others,
well deserves the name of Friend;
his is love beyond a brother's,
costly, free, and knows no end.
They who once his kindness prove
find it everlasting love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
could or would have shed his blood?
But our Jesus died to have us
reconciled in him to God.
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is a Friend in need.
3 When he lived on earth abased,
"Friend of sinners" was his name;
Now above all glory raised,
he rejoices in the same;
still he calls them brethren, friends,
and to all their wants attends.
4 Could we bear from one another
what he daily bears from us?
Yet this glorious Friend and Brother
loves us though we treat him thus:
though for good we render ill,
he accounts us brethren still.
5 O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love,
we, alas! forget too often
what a Friend we have above:
but when home our souls are brought,
we will love you as we ought.

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: Glory to God #343 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 11:18-20 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,

2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds fraught with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from human grief and burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the sweet compassion of your face.
5 O Master, from the mountainside,
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide;
O tread the city's streets again;
6 Till all the world shall learn your love,
and follow where your feet have trod;
till glorious from your heaven above
shall come the city of our God. Topics: Compassion; Ecumenical; Healing; The Life of the Nations; A New Heaven and a New Earth; Social Concerns Languages: English Tune Title: GERMANY
