What a friend we have in Jesus
Author: Joseph Scriven, 1820-1886 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,691 hymnals Topics: Comfort / Consolation 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 Saviour, 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.

1 Quel ami fidèle et tendre
nous avons en Jésus-Christ,
toujours prêt à nous entendre,
à répondre à notre cri!
Il connaît nos défaillances,
nos chutes de chaque jour,
sévère en ses exigences,
il est riche en son amour.
2 Quel ami fidèle et tendre
nous avons en Jésus-Christ,
toujours prêt à nous comprendre
quand nous sommes en souci!
Disons-lui toutes nos craintes,
ouvrons-lui tout notre coeur.
Bientôt ses paroles saintes
nous rendront le vrai bonheur.
3 Quel ami fidèle et tendre
nous avons en Jésus-Christ;
toujours prêt à nous défendre
quand nous presse l’ennemi!
Suivons donc l’étroite voie,
en comptant sur son secours;
bientôt nous aurons la joie
de vivre avec lui toujours!

and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And through eternity I’ll sing on. Used With Tune: WONDROUS LOVE Text Sources: American folk hymn, ca. 1811

In the hour of trial
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 485 hymnals Topics: Consolation 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 favor
Suffer me to fall.
2 Should Thy mercy send me
Sorrow, toil, and woe;
Or should pain attend me
On my path below;
Grant that I may never
Fail Thy hand to see;
Grant that I may ever
Cast my care on Thee.
3 When my last hour cometh,
Fraught with strife and pain,
When my dust returneth
To the dust again;
On Thy truth relying
Through that mortal strife,
Jesus, take me, dying,
To eternal life.
Amen. Used With Tune: PAROLE
In the hour of trial
Sometimes a light surprises
Author: William Cowper Appears in 407 hymnals Topics: Consolation Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord, Who rises
With healing in His wings;
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation,
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God’s salvation,
And find it ever new;
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
Let an unknown to-morrow
Bring with it what it may.
3 It can bring with it nothing
But He will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing,
Will clothe His people, too:
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed;
And He who feeds the ravens,
Will give His children bread.
4 Though neither vine nor fig-tree
Its wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there;
Yet God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For while in Him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.
Amen. Used With Tune: EVARTS

Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Appears in 2,203 hymnals Topics: Hope and Consolation Refrain First Line: 664 6664 Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
be wholly thine.
2 May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire.
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
pure, warm and changeless be,
a living fire.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide;
bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow's tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
when death's cold sullen stream
shall o'er me roll,
blest Saviour, then in love,
fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul. Scripture: Galatians 2:20 Used With Tune: OLIVET
My faith looks up to thee

Let not faith and hope forsake us;

To our home we go.

From a long-felt grief,
When oppressed by new temptations,
Lord, increase and perfect patience;
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more.

Till our rest be won;
Heav'nly leader, still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our fatherland.
Amen.
GERMAN:
1 Jesu, geh voran
auf der Lebensbahn,
und wir wollen nicht verweilen,
dir getreulich nachzueilen;
führ uns an der Hand
bis ins Vaterland.
2 Soll's uns hart ergehn,
lass uns feste stehn
und auch in den schwersten Tagen
niemals über Lasten klagen;
denn durch Trübsal hier
geht der Weg zu dir.
3 Rühret eigner Schmerz
irgend unser Herz,
kümmert uns ein fremdes Leiden,
o so gib Geduld zu beiden;
richte unsern Sinn
auf das Ende hin!
4 Ordne unsern Gang,
Jesu, lebenslang.
Führst du uns durch rauhe Wege,
gib uns auch die nötge Pflege;
tu uns nach dem Lauf
deine Türe auf.
Amen. Scripture: Ruth 1:16 Used With Tune: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM

If thou suffer God to guide thee
Author: George Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 179 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
And hope in Him thro' all thy ways,
He'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee,
And bear thee thro' the evil days;
Who trusts in God's unchanging love,
Builds on the rock that none can move.
2 What can these anxious cares avail thee,
These never-ceasing moans and sighs?
What can it help, if thou bewail thee
O'er each dark moment as it flies?
Our cross and trials do but press
The heavier for our bitterness.
3 Only be still and wait His leisure
In cheerful hope, with heart content
To take whate'er Thy Father's pleasure
And all-deserving love hath sent;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To Him who chose us for His own.
4 He knows the time for joy, and truly
Will send it when He sees it meet,
When He has tried and purged thee duly,
And finds thee free from all deceit,
He comes to thee all unaware,
And makes thee own His loving care.
5 Nor think, amid the heat of trial,
That God hath cast thee off unheard;
That he whose hopes meet no denial
Must surely be of God preferred;
Time passes and much change doth bring
And sets a bound to everything.
6 All are alike before the Highest;
'Tis easy to our God, we know,
To raise thee up, though low thou liest,
To make the rich man poor and low:
True wonders still by Him are wrought
Who setteth up and brings to nought.
7 Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving,
So do thine own part faithfully,
And trust His Word, though undeserving,
Thou yet shalt find it true for thee;
God never yet forsook at need
The soul that trusted Him indeed. Used With Tune: NEUMARK (Wer nur den lieben Gott)
If thou suffer God to guide thee
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 568 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Consolation Lyrics: 1 The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want;
he makes me down to lie
in pastures green; he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
2 My soul he doth restore again,
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
e'en for his own name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill;
for thou art with me, and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnishèd
in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me;
and in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: CRIMOND Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
