Prayer has power

Author: John A. Wallace Appears in 184 hymnals First Line: There is an eye that never sleeps Lyrics: 1 There is an eye that never sleeps Beneath the wing of night; There is an ear that never shuts When sink the beams of light. 2 There is an arm that never tires, When human strength gives way; There is a love that never fails, When earthly loves decay. 3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs; That arm upholds the sky; That ear is filled with angel songs; That love is throned on high. 4 But there's a power which man can wield When mortal aid is vain, That eye, that arm, that love to reach, That listening ear to gain. 5 That power is prayer, which soars on high, Through Jesus, to the throne; And moves the hand which moves the world, To bring salvation down!

The Friend of the Poor

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: How blest the man who thoughtfully Lyrics: 1 How blest the man who thoughtfully The poor and weak befriends; Deliv'rance in the evil day To him Jehovah sends. 2 The Lord will keep him, guard his life, On earth he shall be blest; The Lord will not surrender him By foes to be distressed. 3 Upon the bed of suffering Jehovah will sustain, And in his sickness God will soothe The weariness and pain. 4 O Lord, to Thee my cry ascends, Let me Thy mercy see; Heal Thou my soul, for I have sinned, I have offended Thee. 5 My enemies against me speak, And they my life have scorned; They wish my name to pass away, Unhonored and unmourned. 6 My foe, deceitful, visits me, By seeming kindness led, His heart intent on gathering Some hurtful news to spread. 7 My foes, together whispering, Their evil plans devise; Disease, they say, cleaves fast to him, Laid low, he shall not rise. 8 Yea, he who was my chosen friend, In whom I put my trust, Who ate my bread, now turns in wrath To crush me in the dust. 9 Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace, And raise me up again, That I with justice may requite These base and wicked men. 10 By this I know assuredly That I am loved by Thee, Because my foe does not exult In triumph over me. 11 And as for me, in uprightness Thou dost uphold me well, And settest me before Thy face For evermore to dwell. 12 Blest be Jehovah, Israel's God For evermore. Amen. Let age to age eternally Repeat His praise. Amen.
