When I’ve done the best I can, and my friends misunderstand, Lord, who knows all about me, stand by me. 4 In the midst of persecution, stand by me; in the midst of persecution, stand by me. When my foes in war array undertake to stop my way, Lord, who saved Paul and Silas, stand by me. 5 When I’m growing old and feeble, stand by me; when I’m growing old and feeble, stand by me. When my life becomes a burden and I’m nearing chilly Jordan, Lord, the Lily of the Valley, stand by me. Topics: Intercessory Prayers Used With Tune: STAND BY ME

He whose heart is kind beyond all measure gives unto each day what he deems best– lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure, mingling toil with peace and rest. 2 Every day the Lord himself is near me with a special mercy for each hour; all my cares he fain would bear, and cheer me, he whose name is Counselor and Power. The protection of his child and treasure is a charge that on himself he laid: “As your days, your strength shall be in measure,” this the pledge to me he made. 3 Help me then in every tribulation so to trust your promises, O Lord, that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation offered me within your holy Word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, e'er to take, as from a father’s hand, one by one, the days, the moments fleeting, till I reach the promised land.

Legion was my name by nature

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Luke 8:35 Lyrics: 1. Legion was my name by nature; Satan raged within my breast; Never misery was greater, Never sinner more possessed. Mischievous to all around me, To myself the greatest foe: Thus I was when Jesus found me, Filled with madness, sin, and woe. 2. “Satan, though you fain would have it, Know this soul bears not your sign; I have shed my blood to save it; Now I challenge it for mine. Though it long has you resembled, Henceforth it shall me obey,” Thus he spoke while Satan trembled, Gnashed his teeth, and fled away. 3. Thus my frantic soul he’s healing, Bid my sins and sorrows cease; “Take,” said he, “my pardon sealing; I have saved you, go in peace.” Rather take me, Lord, to Heaven; Now your love and grace I know; Since you have my sins forgiven, Why should I remain below? 4. “Love,” he said, “will sweeten labors; You have something yet to do; Go and tell your friends and neighbors What my love has done for you. Live to manifest my glory, Wait for Heav’n a little space; Sinners, when they hear your story, Will repent and seek my face.” Topics: Ordinary Time Week 7
