There is no sorrow, Lord, too light
Author: Jane Crewdson, 1809-1863 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: Christian Life Consolation Lyrics: 1 There is no sorrow, Lord, too light
To bring in pray'r to thee;
There is no anxious care too slight
To wake thy sympathy.
2 Thou, who hast trod the thorny road,
Wilt share each small distress;
The love, which bore the greater load,
Will not refuse the less.
3 There is no secret sigh we breathe,
But meets thine ear divine;
And ev'ry cross grows light beneath
The shadow, Lord, of thine.
4 Life's ills without, sin's strife within,
The heart would overflow,
But for that love which died for sin,
That love which wept with woe.
Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 Used With Tune: HOLY TRINITY

In Vain Our Fancy
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Appears in 102 hymnals Topics: Seasons, Days, Services Funeral Condolence, Consolation First Line: In vain our fancy strives to paint Lyrics: 1 In vain our fancy strives to paint
The moment after death—
The glories that surround a saint,
When he resigns his breath.
2 One gentle sigh his fetters breaks;
One effort—and he's gone!
And lo! the willing spirit takes
Its mansions near the throne.
3 We strive, but all our efforts fail
To trace that upward flight;
No eye can pierce within the vail
Which hides the world of light.
4 Yet, though we see them not, we know
Saints are supremely blest;
And freed from sin, and care, and woe,
And with their Saviour rest.
5 Mid' streets of gold his name they praise,
His face they always view;
And if we here there footsteps trace,
There we shall praise him too. Scripture: Psalm 23:4 Used With Tune: YORK

Holy Father, Thou hast taught me
Author: John M. Neale Appears in 178 hymnals Topics: Consolation Lyrics: 1 Holy Father, Thou hast taught me
I should live to Thee alone;
Year by year, Thy hand hath brought me
On through dangers oft unknown.
When I wandered, Thou hast found me;
When I doubted, sent me light;
Still Thine arm has been around me,
All my paths were in Thy sight.
2 In the world will foes assail me,
Craftier, stronger far than I;
And the strife may never fail me,
Well I know, before I die.
Therefore, Lord, I come, believing
Thou canst give the power I need;
Through the prayer of faith receiving
Strength--the Spirit’s strength, indeed.
3 I would trust in Thy protecting,
Wholly rest upon Thine arm;
Follow wholly Thy directing,
Thou, mine only guard from harm.
Keep me from mine own undoing,
Help me turn to Thee when tried;
Still my footsteps, Father, viewing,
Keep me ever at Thy side.
Amen. Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE

When we cannot see our way
Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 40 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 When we cannot see our way,
Let us trust, and still obey;
He who bids us forward go,
Cannot fail the way to show.
2 Though the sea be deep and wide,
Though a passage be denied;
Fearless let us still proceed,
Since the Lord vouchsafes to lead.
3 Though it seems the gloom of night,
Though we see no ray of light:
Since the Lord Himself is there,
‘Tis not meet that we should fear.
4 Night with Him is never night,
Where He is, there all is light;
When He calls us, why delay?
They are happy who obey.
5 Be it ours then while we’re here,
Him to follow without fear!
Where He calls us, there to go,
What He bids us, that to do. Used With Tune: WEBER

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,621 hymnals Topics: Comfort/Consolation Lyrics: 1 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes the sorrows, heals the wounds,
and drives away all fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary, rest.
3 Dear Name! the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding-place,
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace.
4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
5 The effort of my heart is weak,
and cold my warmest thought;
but when I see you whom I seek,
I'll praise you as I ought.
Used With Tune: ST PETER
