Chorus 314 - 317

314        (F)      RH 532
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 any where?
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 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.
 
315       (Eb)      RH 427
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
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
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 has done.
2) Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly
And you will be singing as the days go by.
 
3) When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold,
Count your many blessings, money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
 
4) So amid the conflict, whether great or small
Do not be discouraged, God is over all,
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
316      (Bb)        RH 261
Standing on the promises of Christ my King
Through eternal ages let His praises ring
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
 
Chorus:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Saviour
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
 
2) Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God
 
3) Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.
 
4) Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
 
 
317        (C)       RH 335
There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
 
 
2) The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
 
 
3) I do believe I will believe,
That Jesus died for me
That on the cross He shed His Blood,
From sin to set me free.
 
4) Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved to sin no more.
 
5) E’er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
