Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

Author: Walford Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #302 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Scripture: Psalm 52:9 Lyrics: 1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne Make all my wants and wishes known; In seasons of distress and grief My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's snare By thy return, sweet hour of prayer. 2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! Thy wings shall my petition bear To him whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless; And since he bids me seek his grace, Believe his word and trust his grace, I'll cast on him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! May I thy consolation share, Till from Mount Pisgah's lofty height I view my home, and take my flight; This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise To seize the everlasting prize, And shout, while passing through the air, Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!

From every stormy wind that blows

Author: Stowell Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #309 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 52:9 Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat: 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads-- A place than all beside more sweet: It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. 4 Ah! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismayed? Or how the hosts of hell defeat, Had suffering saints no mercy-seat? 5 There, there, on eagle's wings we soar, And sin and sense seem all no more; And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat. 6 Oh, let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold and still, This bounding heart forget to beat, If I forget thy mercy-seat.

How deep thy counsels! how divine! 4 Lord, I shall share a glorious part When grace hath well refined my heart, And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil, to cheer my head. 5 Then shall I see, and hear, and know All I desired or wished below; And every power find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy.

A world without saints forgets how to praise. In loving, in living, they prove it is true: their way of self-giving, Lord, leads us to you.

In vain, O Man of lawless Might

Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #LII (1760) Scripture: Psalm 52 Lyrics: 1 In vain, O Man of lawless Might, thou boast'st thyself in Ill; Since God, the God in whom I trust, vouchsafes his Favour still. 2 Thy wicked Tongue does sland'rous Tales maliciously devise; And, sharper than a Razor set, it wounds with treach'rous Lyes. 3,4 Thy Thoughts are more on Ill, than Good, on Lyes, than Truth, employ'd; Thy Tongue delights in Words by which the Guiltless are destroy'd. 5 God shall for ever blast thy Hopes, and snatch thee soon away; Nor in thy Dwelling-place permit, nor in the World, to stay. 6 The Just, with pious Fear shall see the Downfal of thy Pride; And at thy sudden Ruin laugh, and thus thy Fall deride: 7 "See there the Man that haughty was, "who proudly God defy'd, "who trusted in his Wealth, and still "on wicked Arts rely'd." 8 But I am like those Olive-plants that shade God's Temple round; And hope with his indulgent Grace to be for ever crown'd. 9 So shall my Soul with Praise, O God, extol thy wond'rous Love; And on thy Name with Patience wait; for this thy Saints approve.
