1 Kings 3:9

• [1Ki 3:9] Give Me, O Lord, Right Views Of Thee

  Give me, O Lord, right views of Thee, Thy glorious nature, love, and might; And draw my spirit’s eyes to see The things concealed from mortal sight; And in the soul which Thou hast wrought, O breathe the understanding thought. Give me, O Lord, right views of Thee, And of myself and purpose here; My life, my end, and destiny, My secret dreams of hope and fear; O Thou Who standst behind it all, To Thee for light I look and call. Give me, O Lord, right views of truth; And give me, too, the honest mind, Which of its freedom gives the proof In sweet forbearance broad and kind; Which will not barter, slight, or sell The truth it sees, but guard it well. Give me, O Lord, right views of truth; Thy all discerning Spirit give, To bring light in earliest youth Thy living words by which men live; Of all Thy gifts, I pray, impart A wise and understanding heart.

O lover and author of concord, Pour out your balm on our days; Order our ways in your peace.

1 Kings 9:15

• [1Ki 9:15] We Love The Venerable House

  We love the venerable house Our fathers built to God; In heaven are kept their grateful vows, Their dust endears the sod. Here holy thoughts a light have shed From many a radiant face, And prayers of humble virtue spread The perfume of the place. And anxious hearts have pondered here The mystery of life, And prayed th’eternal Light to clear Their doubts and aid their strife. From humble tenements around Came up the pensive train, And in the church a blessing found, That filled their homes again. For faith, and peace, and mighty love, That from the Godhead flow, Showed them the life of heaven above Springs from the life below. They live with God their homes are dust; Yet here their children pray, And in this fleeting lifetime trust To find the narrow way.

1 Kings 17:16

• [1Ki 17:16] By The Poor Widow’s Oil And Meal

  By the poor widow’s oil and meal Elijah was sustained; Though small the stock it lasted well, For God the store maintained. It seemed as if from day to day, They were to eat and die; But still, though in a secret way, He sent a fresh supply. Thus to His poor He still will give Just for the present hour; But for tomorrow they must live Upon His word and power. No barn or storehouse they possess On which they can depend; Yet have no cause to fear distress, For Jesus is their Friend. Then let not doubts your mind assail, Remember, God has said, “The cruse and barrel shall not fail; My people shall be fed.” And thus though faint it often seems, He keeps their grace alive; Supplied by His refreshing streams, Their dying hopes revive. Though in ourselves we have no stock, The Lord is nigh to save; His door flies open when we knock, And ’tis but ask and have.

• [1Ki 17:16] Is Thy Cruse Of Comfort Wasting?

  Is thy cruse of comfort wasting? Rise, and with thy brother share. And through all the years of famine On its bounty ye shall fare. Love divine will fill thy storehouse, Or thy handful still renew; Scanty fare for one will often Make a royal feast for two. For the heart grows rich in giving; All its wealth is living grain; Seeds, which mildew in the garner, Scattered, fill with gold the plain. Is thy burden hard and heavy, Do thy steps drag wearily? Help to bear thy brother’s burden; God will bear both it and thee. Numb and weary on the mountains, Wouldst thou sleep amidst the snow? Chafe the frozen form beside thee, And together both shall grow. Art thou stricken in life’s battle? Many wounded round thee moan; Lavish on their wounds thy balsams And that balm shall heal thine own. Is the heart a well left empty? None but God its void can fill; Nothing but a ceaseless fountain Can its ceaseless longings still. Is the heart a living power? Self entwined, its strength sinks low; It can only live in loving, And by serving love will grow.

1 Kings 18:38

• [1Ki 18:38] Elijah’s God Still Lives

  Elijah made a sacrifice To offer to Jehovah; It had been wet with water thrice, Baal’s sacrifice was over. Elijah prayed: the fire came down And licked the water all around; So doubting ones believed, and found Elijah’s God was living. Refrain Elijah’s God still lives today, To take the guilt of sin away; And when I pray my heart’s desire, Upon my soul He sends the fire. Elijah’s God still lives today And answers still by fire; My friend, just let Him have His way; He’ll grant your heart’s desire. Consume the sacrifice you make, And bid your slumbr’ing soul awake; The chains of inbred sin will break; Elijah’s God is living. Refrain Elijah’s God still lives today And answers still by power, As when Elijah prayed for rain, God answered with a shower. If you would have your soul refreshed With rain that falls from Heaven, You must “pray through” like all the rest, And showers shall be given. Refrain
