371 THEODORA 7777

Arr. fr. George Frederick Händel, 1749

1. Come, my soul, thy suit prepare, Jesus loves to

answer pray'r;

64 564

9:5

He Him-self has bid thee pray, There-fore will not say thee nay.

2 With my burden I begin;
Lord, remove this load of sin;
Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.

3 Lord, I come to Thee for rest,
Take possession of my breast,
There Thy blood-bought right maintain
And without a rival reign.

372 ST. BEES 7777

A-MEN.

4 While I am a pilgrim here,
Let Thy love my spirit cheer;
As my guide, my guard, my friend,
Lead me to my journey's end.

5 Show me what I have to do,
Every hour my strength renew;
Let me live a life of faith,
Let me die Thy people's death.
John Newton, 1779

John Bacchus Dykes, 1874

1. Lord, we come before Thee now,

264 254

At Thy feet we hum-bly bow;

O do not our suit dis- dain, Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain? A-MEN.

2 Lord, on Thee our souls depend;
In compassion, now descend,
Fill our hearts with Thy rich grace,
Tune our lips to sing Thy praise.

3 In Thine own appointed way, Now we seek Thee, here we stay; Lord, we know not how to go, Till a blessing Thou bestow.

2 Come, tell Me all that ye have said and done,
Your victories and failures, hopes and fears,
I know how hardly souls are wooed and won;
My choicest wreaths are always wet with tears.
3 Come ye, and rest; the journey is too great,
And ye will faint beside the way and sink:
The bread of life is here for you to eat,
And here for you the wine of love to drink.
4 Then, fresh from converse with your Lord, return
And work till daylight softens into even;
The brief hours are not lost in which ye learn
More of your Master and His rest in heaven.

9:

Keep our loved ones, now far absent, 'Neath Thy care.

2 Jesus, Saviour, let Thy presence
Be their light and guide;

Keep, O keep them, in their weakness,
At Thy side.

3 When in sorrow, when in danger,
When in loneliness,

In Thy love look down and comfort Their distress.

1. There is an eye that nev- er sleeps Be- neath the wing

of night;

9:23 bb 4

[ocr errors]

There is an ear that never shuts When sink the beams of night. A-MEN,

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 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.

4 That power is prayer, which soars on high, Though Jesus, to the throne;

300

And moves the hand which moves the To bring salvation down!

[world,

9:25

If we

live a life of pray'r, God is pres-ent ev'ry-where. A-MEN.

2 In our sickness and our health, In our want, or in our wealth, If we look to God in prayer, God is present everywhere.

3 When our earthly comforts fail, When the foes of life prevail,

301

'Tis the time for earnest prayer; God is present everywhere.

4 Then, my soul, in every strait, To thy Father come, and wait; He will answer every prayer: God is present everywhere.
