Lord, I hear of show'rs of blessing

Thou art scatt'ring full and free,

Show'rs, the thirsty land refreshing

Let Thy blessing fall on me

Even me, Even me,

Let Thy blessing fall on me.

2

Pass me not, O gracious Father!

Sinful thought my heart may be

Thou might'st leave me, but the rather

Let Thy mercy fall on me

Even me, Even me,

Let Thy blessing fall on me.

3

Pass me not, O tender Saviour!

Let me love and cling to Thee

I am longing for Thy favor

Whilst Thou'rt calling, O call me

Even me, Even me,

Let Thy blessing fall on me.

4

Pass me not, O mighty Spirit!

Thou canst make the blind to see

Witnesser of Jesus' merit,

Speak the word of power to me

Even me, Even me,

Let Thy blessing fall on me.

5

Love of God, so pure and changeless,

Blood of Christ, so rich, so free

Grace of God, so strong and boundless,

Magnify them all in me

Even me, Even me,

Let Thy blessing fall on me.

1

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,

That calls me from a world of care,

And bids me at my Father's throne,

Make all my wants and wishes known!

In seasons of distress and grief,

My soul has often found relief,

And oft escaped the tempter's,

By thy 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 Thy return!

With such I hasten to the place

Where God, my Saviour, shows His face.

And gladly take my station there,

And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

3

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,

Thy wings shall my petition bear

To Him, whose truth and faithfulness

Engage the waiting soul to bless

And since He bids me seek His face,

Believe His Word, and trust His grace,

I'll cast on Him my ev'ry care,

And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

4

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,

Our Lord Himself knew gladness there

And oftentimes, when thronged about,

Would slip away and seek it out,

And pray all night in field or hill,

While all the clam'ring world grew still.

His ways to walk, His joys to share,

'Tis thee we need, sweet hour of prayer. Amen

1

Go, carry thy burden to Jesus,

And lay down thy load at His feet,

Where calvary's cross is uplifted,

Find pardon and comforting sweet.

O, steal away softly to Jesus,

To Him let thy heart be outpoured

Thy Father, who seeth in secret,

Shall give thee a gracious reward.

2

Rejoice in His wonderful mercy,

Thy soul form its sorrow relieved,

Then, turning in love to thy neighbor,

Give freely, as thou hast received.

O, steal away softly to Jesus,

To Him let thy heart be outpoured

Thy Father, who seeth in secret,

Shall give thee a gracious reward.

3

Let Christ be thy gracious Companion,

Keep close to His side day by day

The Fountain, unseen, of the blessings

That brighten and gladden the way .

O, steal away softly to Jesus,

To Him let thy heart be outpoured

Thy Father, who seeth in secret,

Shall give thee a gracious reward.

4

O, fellowship precious and holy,

His life, overflowing in love,

Shall bring to the needy around thee

Fair sunbeams and bloom form above.

O, steal away softly to Jesus,

To Him let thy heart be outpoured

Thy Father, who seeth in secret,

Shall give thee a gracious reward.

Open my eyes, that I may see

Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me

Place in my hands the wonderful key

That shall unclasp, and set me free.

Silently now I wait for Thee,

Ready, my God, Thy will to see.

Open my eyes, illumine me,

Spirit divine!

Voices of truth Thou sendest clear

Spirit divine!

1

Heart longings, Lord Jesus, I lift to the throne:

For grace, and for fullness of soul

While, hungry and thirsty, my heart asks alone

Thy Spirit, pour'd forth to make whole.



Lord Jesus, grant grace in its fullness

Brimfull in my heart to be pour'd

Thou only my strength and my wholeness,

Thou, Thou art my plenty, Lord!

2

Lord Jesus, break from the bonds of my sin,

That I may be pure, ev'ry part

Let earthly deceits have no lodging within,

No crevice to hide in my heart.

3

Lord Jesus, grant faith such as Jacob's that night,

To wrestle in pray'r and not cease

And though the world's billows mount high in their might,

Still grant me the gift of Thy peace.

4

Lord Jesus, let love like the love in Thy heart

Be mine without let or alloy

Until I am fill'd to the uttermost part,

To live in Thy love and Thy joy.

5

Lord Jesus, I know that Thy Spirit, who came

To live in my heart, there will dwell.

Now grant the great gift in the strength of Thy name

That I may but serve my Lord well.

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?

Precious Savior, still our refuge

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!

In His arms He’ll take and shield you

you will find a solace there

Amen

When Jesus shows His smiling face

There is sunshine in the soul

There is music in my soul today

A carol to my King

And Jesus, listening, can hear

The songs I cannot sing

4

There is gladness in my soul today

And hope and praise and love

For blessings which He gives me now

For joys "laid up" above

When Jesus shows His smiling face

There is sunshine in the soul

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost

Count your many blessings name them one by one

Count your blessings, name them one by one

Count your blessings, see what God hath done

Count your blessings, name them one by one

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done

Count your blessings, name them one by one

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done

So amid the conflict, whether great or small

Do not be discouraged, God is over all

Help and comfort give you to your journey's end

Count your blessings, name them one by one

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done

Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,

Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art

Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast

Shelter me safe in that "Haven of Rest,"

Shelter me safe in that "Haven of Rest."

2

Nearer, still nearer, nothing I birng,

Naught as an off'ring to Jesus my King

Only my sinful, now contrite heart

Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,

Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.

3

Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine.

Sin with its follies I gladly resign

All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride,

Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified,

Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.

4

Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last,

Till safe in glory my anchor is cast

Thro' endless ages ever to be

Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,

Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee.

Amen.

Lead me through the vale of shadows

Bear me o'er life's fitful sea

Then the gate of life eternal

Close to Thee, close to Thee

Close to Thee, close to Thee

All along my pilgrim journey

Savior, let me walk with Thee

Lately the life of Christ burst out alive in me!

Old things have passed away, even myself is new

His life floods through me, like rivers wards the sea

His love shines on me like sun shining on the dew

With Christ I’ll savor life unending every day

Now and forever I’ll walk with Him all the way

2

Life hide in Him makes

My gladness of heart increase

I set no price on what pleased me other days

I’m tasting heaven's incredible joy and peace

My life the Lord's for an anthem of prayer and praise

With Christ I’ll savor life unending every day

Now and forever I’ll walk with Him all the way

3

Hill, stream and woodland

And all that I see is new

Sinner and foeman are turned into friends I know

This is eternal life tasted before it's due

Life with Lord is a new heaven here below!

With Christ I’ll savor life unending every day

Now and forever I’ll walk with Him all the way

4

Rough though and long His way

All set about with strife

With hymns I’ll follow on, exhuberant with praise

I’ll be with Christ my Lord unto eternal life

Daily I'll walk with Him beyond the length of days

With Christ I’ll savor life unending every day

Now and forever I’ll walk with Him all the way

1

I know that my Saviour will never forsake,

I know that my faith in Him never will shake

My journey a pathway of gladness He'll make,

He'll walk with me all the way.

He'll walk with me all the way,

He'll walk with me all the way,

He'll help me o'er sin the vict'ry to win,

And walk with me all the way.

2

He'll lead me in paths that are pleasant and green,

And show me new glories, so long since unseen

His hand will I hold all secure and serene,

He'll walk with me all the way.

He'll walk with me all the way,

He'll walk with me all the way,

He'll help me o'er sin the vict'ry to win,

And walk with me all the way.

3

My eyes will new beauty and glory perceive,

As daily His blessing life's tangles unweave

I'll hold to His hand and no more let Him leave

He'll walk with me all the way.

He'll walk with me all the way,

He'll walk with me all the way,

He'll help me o'er sin the vict'ry to win,

And walk with me all the way.

Since Christ my soul from sin set free

This world has been a Heav’n to me

And ’mid earth’s sorrows and its woe

’Tis Heav’n my Jesus here to know

O hallelujah, yes, ’tis Heav’n

’Tis Heav’n to know my sins forgiv’n

On land or sea, what matters where?

Where Jesus is, ’tis Heaven there

2

Once Heaven seemed a far off place

Till Jesus showed His smiling face

Now it’s begun within my soul

’Twill last while endless ages roll

O hallelujah, yes, ’tis Heav’n

’Tis Heav’n to know my sins forgiv’n

On land or sea, what matters where?

Where Jesus is, ’tis Heaven there

3

What matters where on earth we dwell?

On mountain top, or in the dell

In cottage, or a mansion fair

Where Jesus is, ’tis Heaven there

O hallelujah, yes, ’tis Heav’n

’Tis Heav’n to know my sins forgiv’n

On land or sea, what matters where?

Where Jesus is, ’tis Heaven there

1

Jesus, keep me near the cross

There a precious fountain,

Free to all a healing stream

Flows from Calvary's mountain.

In the cross, in the cross,

Be my glory ever

Till my raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.

2

Near the cross, a trembling soul,

Love and mercy found me

There the Bright and Morning Star

Shed its beams around me.

In the cross, in the cross,

Be my glory ever

Till my raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.

3

Near the cross! O Lamb of God,

Bring its scenes before me

Help me walk from day to day

With its shadow o'er me.

In the cross, in the cross,

Be my glory ever

Till my raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.

4

Near the cross I'll watch and wait,

Hoping, trusting ever,

Till I reach the golden strand

Just beyond the river.

In the cross, in the cross,

Be my glory ever

Till my raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river. Amen.

Anywhere He leads me in this world below

Anywhere without Him dearest joys would fade

Anywhere with Jesus I am not afraid.

Anywhere! anywhere! Fear I can not know

Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go.

Anywhere with Jesus I can go to sleep,

When the dark'ning shadows 'round about me creep

Knowing I shall waken, never more to roam,

Anywhere with Jesus will be home, sweet home.

Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go.

1

I come to the garden alone

While the dew is still on the roses

And the voice I hear falling on my ear

The Son of God discloses

And He walks with me, and He talks with me

And He tells me I am His own

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known

2

He speaks, and the sound of His voice

Is so sweet the birds hush their singing

And the melody that He gave to me

Within my heart is ringing

And He walks with me, and He talks with me

And He tells me I am His own

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known

3

I’d stay in the garden with Him

Though the night around me be falling

But He bids me go; through the voice of woe

His voice to me is calling

And He walks with me, and He talks with me

And He tells me I am His own

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known

1

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord

No tender voice like Thine can peace afford

Temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh

With Thee what joy I capture! Every hour is rapture!

I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain

Come quickly and abide, or life is in vain

With Thee what joy I capture! Every hour is rapture!

O bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee

I need Thee every hour; teach me Thy will

And Thy rich promises in me fulfill

With Thee what joy I capture! Every hour is rapture!
