What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Author: Joseph Medlicott Scriven Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Topics: Pain 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?
Christ the Saviour is our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do our friends despise, forsake us?
Are we tempted to despair?
Jesus' strength will shield our weakness,
and we'll find new courage there. Used With Tune: FRIENDSHIP

Author: Jane Laurie Borthwick; Katharina von Shclegel Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 178 hymnals Topics: Pain and Suffering First Line: Be still, my soul, for God is on your side Lyrics: 1 Be still, my soul: for God is on your side;
bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to your God to order and provide;
in every change God faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best eternal friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul: for God will undertake
to guide in future days as in the past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be clear at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
how Jesus' power ruled them long ago.
3 Be still, my soul: the hour will soon be here
when we shall be with God whom we adore,
with disappointment, no grief nor fear,
sorrow replaced with joy forevermore.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

Thou art my hiding place, O Lord
Author: Thomas Raffles Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: Pain Lyrics: 1 Thou art my hiding place, O Lord,
In thee I put my trust;
Encouraged by thy holy Word,
A feeble child of dust:
I have no argument beside,
I urge no other plea;
And 'tis enough my Saviour died,
My Saviour died for me.
2 When storms of fierce temptation beat,
And furious foes assail,
My refuge is the mercy-seat,
My hope within the veil.
From strife of tongues and bitter words
My spirit flies to thee:
Joy to my heart the thought affords,
My Saviour died for me.
3 'Mid trials heavy to be borne,
When mortal strength is vain,
A heart with grief and anguish torn,
A body racked with pain,
Ah! what could give the suff'rer rest,
Bid ev'ry murmur flee,
But this, the witness in my breast
That Jesus died for me?
4 And when thine awful voice commands
This body to decay,
And life, in its last ling'ring sands,
Is ebbing fast away,
Then though it be in accents weak,
And faint and tremblingly,
O give me strength in death to speak,
"My Saviour died for me."
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 32:7 Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD
Thou art my hiding place, O Lord

that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Maker's throne
let all my needs and wants be known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter's snare
by your return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for your return!
With them I hasten to the place
where I would know my Savior's face,
And gladly take my station there,
and wait for you, sweet hour of prayer!
3 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
whose wings shall my petition bear
to One whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since I'm bid to seek God's face,
believe God's word, and trust God's grace,
I'll cast away my every care,
and wait for you, sweet hour of prayer! Used With Tune: SWEET HOUR

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Topics: Pain and Suffering Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of clan and race,
Above the noise of selfish strife,
O Christ, we hear your voice of grace.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds fraught with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from human grief and burdened toil,
From famished souls, from sorrows' stress,
we know your heart does not recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
Yet long these multitudes to view
the deep compassion of your face.
5 O Savior, from the mountainside,
Make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
Among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again:
6 Till all shall learn compassion's might,
And follow where your feet have trod,
Till glorious from your realm of light
Shall come the city of our God. Scripture: Luke 19:41 Used With Tune: GERMANY (GARDINER)
