always looking on his smiling face,
that is why I shout and sing. [Refrain]

I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown;
I shall reign with him on high. [Refrain]

O give our frightened souls the sure salvation
for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare.

with bitter sorrow, hard to understand,
we take it thankfully and without trembling,
out of so good and so beloved a hand.

the joy we had, the brightness of your sun,
we shall remember all the days we lived through,
and our whole life shall then be yours alone. Languages: English Tune Title: INTERCESSOR

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Author: Joseph M. Scriven Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #526 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Affliction and Tribulation 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 thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.

Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Author: William Whiting Hymnal: Voices United #659 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Adversity, Affliction & Tribulation Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm has bound the restless wave,
who bade the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed limits keep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
2 O Christ, whose voice the waters heard
and hushed their raging at thy word,
who walked upon the foaming deep,
and calm amid the storm didst sleep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy Spirit, who didst brood
upon the chaos dark and rude,
and bade its angry tumult cease,
and gave for wild confusion peace:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
all travellers guard in danger's hour.
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
protect them whereso'er they go:
thus evermore shall rise to thee
glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Tune Title: MELITA
Eternal Father, Strong to Save
