O God of Bethel, by whose hand

Author: P. Doddridge Hymnal: LHPN1913 #286 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God of Bethel, by whose hand Thy people still are fed; Who through this weary pilgrimage Hast all our fathers led: 2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present Before Thy throne of grace: God of our fathers, be the God Of their succeeding race. 3 Through each perplexing path of life Our wandering footsteps guide. Give us each day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide. 4 O spread Thy sheltering wings around, Till all our wanderings cease. And at our Father’s loved abode, Our souls arrive in peace! 5 Such blessings from Thy gracious hand Our humble prayers implore; And Thou shalt be our chosen God, Our portion evermore.

There is a fountain filled with blood

Author: W. Cowper Hymnal: LHPN1913 #314 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins, And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved, to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor, lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave.

Alas! and did my Savior bleed

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: LHPN1913 #318 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creatures' sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness! And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away: 'Tis all that I can do.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: LHPN1913 #361 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Unuttered or expressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of the eye, When none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air, His watchword at the gates of death; He enters heaven with prayer. 5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice And cry, "Behold, he prays!" 6 O Thou, by whom we come to God, The life, the truth, the way! The path of prayer Thyself hast trod; Lord, teach us how to pray. Topics: The Church Year Ascension; The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Easter Tune Title: [Prayer is the soul's sincere desire]

Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: W. Cowper Hymnal: LHPN1913 #421 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour. The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His works in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain.
