What a friend we have in Jesus
Author: Joseph Scriven (1819-1886) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,743 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:56 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?
Jesus is our only 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. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Assurance; Grief; Prayer; Temptation Used With Tune: CONVERSE

Down at the Cross
My God, My Father, While I Stray
Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 572 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:42 Lyrics: 1 My God and Father, while I stray
Far from my home in life's rough way,
Oh, teach me from my heart to say,
"Thy will be done."
2 Tho' dark my path and sad my lot,
Let me be still and murmur not,
Or breathe the prayer divinely taught,
"Thy will be done."
3 What tho' in lonely grief I sigh
For friends beloved, no longer nigh,
Submissive still would I reply--
"Thy will be done."
4 Tho' Thou hast called me to resign
What most I prized, it ne'er was mine;
I have but yielded what was Thine--
"Thy will be done."
5 Should grief or sickness waste away
My life in premature decay,
My Father, still I strive to say,
"Thy will be done."
6 Let but my fainting heart be blest
With Thy sweet Spirit for its Guest,
My God, to Thee I leave the rest--
"Thy will be done."
7 Renew my will from day to day;
Blend it with Thine and take away
All that now makes it hard to say,
"Thy will be done."
8 Then, when on earth I breathe no more,
The prayer, oft mixed with tears before,
I'll sing upon a happier shore,
"Thy will be done."
Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) New Obedience Used With Tune: ES IST KEIN TAG
My God, My Father, While I Stray
In the Hour of Trial
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 500 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:69-75 Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial,
Jesus, plead for me;
lest by base denial
I depart from thee;
when thou see'st me waver,
with a look recall,
nor for fear or favour
suffer me to fall.
2 With forbidden pleasures
should this vain world charm,
or its tempting treasures
spread to work me harm,
bring to my remembrance
sad Gethsemane,
or in darker semblance,
cross-crowned Calvary.
3 If with sore affliction
thou in love chastise,
pour thy benediction
on the sacrifice;
then, upon the altar,
freely offered up,
though the flesh may falter,
faith shall drink the cup.
4 When in dust and ashes
to the grave I sink,
while heav'n's glory flashes
o'er the shelving brink,
on thy truth relying
through that mortal strife,
Lord, receive me, dying,
to eternal life.

O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Benjamin Webb (1819-1885) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 142 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Surpassing thought and fantasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us the lost with love he sought,
by words, and signs, and actions, he
brought health and hope to set us free.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: Christian Year Lent; Creed Used With Tune: EISENACH (LEIPZIG) Text Sources: Latin, 15th century
