Author: Mrs. Phoebe H. Brown Hymnal: Laudes Domini #31 (1890) Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: I love to steal awhile away Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away From every cumbering care, And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer. 2 I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear, And all his promises to plead, Where none but God can hear. 3 I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows cast On him whom I adore. 4 I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven; The prospect doth my strength renew, While here by tempests driven. 5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day.

"The throne of grace"

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #51 (1890) Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: Behold the throne of grace! Lyrics: 1 Behold the throne of grace! The promise calls me near; There Jesus shows a smiling face, And waits to answer prayer. 2 That rich atoning blood, Which sprinkled round I see, Provides for those who come to God An all-prevailing plea. 3 My soul! ask what thou wilt; Thou canst not be too bold: Since his own blood for thee he spilt, What else can he withhold? 4 Thine image, Lord, bestow, Thy presence and thy love; I ask to serve thee here below, And reign with thee above. 5 Teach me to live by faith; Conform my will to thine: Let me victorious be in death, And then in glory shine.

I cannot let thee go, Till a blessing thou bestow; Do not turn away thy face, Mine's an urgent, pressing case. 2 Once a sinner, near despair, Sought thy mercy-seat by prayer; Mercy heard and set him free Lord! that mercy came to me. 3 Many days have passed since then, Many changes I have seen; Yet have been upheld till now, Who could hold me up but thou? 4 Thou hast helped in every need This emboldens me to plead; After so much mercy past, Canst thou let me sink at last? 5 No--I must maintain my hold; 'Tis thy goodness makes me bold; I can no denial take, Since I plead for Jesus' sake.
