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.

mp 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.

mp 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge-
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there. Amen.

mp

To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled

against Him.

LORD, Thy mercy now entreating,

mp4 Precious moments idly wasted, Precious hours in folly spent; Christian vow and fight unheeded, Scarce a thought to wisdom lent.

Low before Thy throne we fall,

Our misdeeds to Thee confessing, On Thy name we humbly call.

mp2 Sinful thoughts, and words unloving Rise against us one by one;

p 5 Lord, Thy mercy still entreating

Acts unworthy, deeds unthinking, Good that we have left undone.

cr

We with shame our sins would own; From henceforth, the time redeeming, May we live to Thee alone.

mp3 Hearts that far from Thee were straying, mp6 Heavenly Father, bless Thy children,

While in prayer we bowed the knee, Lips that, while Thy praises sounding, Lifted not the soul to Thee:

Hearken from Thy throne on high;

cr

Loving Saviour, Holy Spirit,

Hear and heed our humble cry.

Amen.

What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, which shall know

HEN the weary, seeking rest,
To Thy goodness flee;

When the heavy-laden cast

All their load on Thee; When the troubled, seeking peace, On Thy name shall call; When the sinner seeking life, At Thy feet shall fall : mf Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry, dim In heaven Thy dwelling-place on high.

mp 2 When the worldling, sick at heart,
Lifts his soul above;
When the prodigal looks back
To his Father's love;
When the proud man from his pride
Stoops to seek Thy face;

When the burdened brings his guilt To Thy throne of grace: mf Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry, dim In heaven Thy dwelling-place on high.

mf 3 When the stranger asks a home,
All his toils to end;
When the hungry craveth food,
And the poor a friend;
When the sailor on the wave
Bows the fervent knee;
When the soldier on the field
Lifts his heart to Thee:

mf 4 When the man of toil and care, In the city crowd;

cr

When the shepherd on the moor,
Names the name of God;
When the learned and the high,
Tired of earthly fame,
Upon higher joys intent,

Name the blessed name:

Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry, dim In heaven Thy dwelling-place on high.

mp 5 When the child, with grave fresh lip,
Youth, or maiden fair;
When the agèd, weak and grey,
Seek Thy face in prayer;
When the widow weeps to Thee,
Sad and lone and low;
When the orphan brings to Thee
All his orphan woe:
mf Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry,
dim In heaven Thy dwelling-place on high.

mp 6 When creation in her pangs,
Heaves her heavy groan;
When Thy Salem's exiled sons
Breathe their bitter moan;
When Thy widowed, weeping Church,
Looking for a home,
Sendeth up her silent sigh,
Come, Lord Jesus, come!

mf Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry, dim In heaven Thy dwelling-place on high.

Amen.

There deliverance sought and found,
Heard the voice of mercy sound:
