1 Samuel 1:19

• [1Sa 1:19] Lord, In The Morning Thou Shalt Hear

  Lord, in the morning Thou shalt hear My voice ascending high; To Thee will I direct my prayer, To Thee lift up mine eye. Up to the hills, where Christ is gone To plead for all His saints, Presenting at His Father’s throne, Our songs and our complaints. Thou art a God before Whose sight The wicked shall not stand; Sinners shall ne’er be Thy delight, Nor dwell at Thy right hand. But to Thy house will I resort, To taste Thy mercies there; I will frequent Thine holy court, And worship in Thy fear. O may Thy Spirit guide my feet In ways of righteousness! Make ev’ry path of duty straight And plain before my face My watchful enemies combine To tempt my feet astray; They flatter, with a base design To make my soul their prey. Lord, crush the serpent in the dust, And all his plots destroy; While those that in Thy mercy trust, Forever shout for joy. The men that love and fear Thy Name Shall see their hopes fulfill’d; The mighty God will compass them With favor as a shield.

• [1Sa 1:19] Sweetly The Holy Hymn

  Sweetly the holy hymn Breaks on the morning air; Before the world with smoke is dim We meet to offer prayer. While flowers are wet with dews, Dew of our souls, descend: Ere yet the sun the day renews, O Lord, Thy Spirit send. Upon the battlefield, Before the fight begins, We seek, O Lord, Thy sheltering shield, To guard us from our sins. Ere yet our vessel sails Upon the stream of day We plead, O Lord, for heavenly gales To speed us on our way! On the lone mountain side, Before the morning’s light, The Man of sorrows wept and cried, And rose refreshed with might. Oh, hear us then, for we Are very weak and frail, We make the Savior’s Name our plea, And surely must prevail.

1 Samuel 13:13

• [1Sa 13:13] Turn Back, O Man

  Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways. Old now is earth, and none may count her days. Yet thou, her child, whose head is crowned with flame, Still wilt not hear thine inner God proclaim, “Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways.” Earth might be fair, and all men glad and wise. Age after age their tragic empires rise, Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep: Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep, Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise. Earth shall be fair, and all her people one: Nor till that hour shall God’s whole will be done. Now, even now, once more from earth to sky, Peals forth in joy man’s old undaunted cry— “Earth shall be fair, and all her folk be one!”

1 Samuel 17:37

• [1Sa 17:37] By Whom Was David Taught

  By whom was David taught To aim the deadly blow, When he Goliath fought, And laid the Gittite low? Nor sword nor spear the stripling took, But chose a pebble from the brook. ’Twas Israel’s God and King Who sent him to the fight; Who gave him strength to fling, And skill to aim aright. Ye feeble saints, your strength endures, Because young David’s God is yours. Who ordered Gideon forth, To storm th’invaders’ camp With arms of little worth, A pitcher and a lamp? The trumpets made His coming known And all the host was overthrown. Oh! I have seen the day, When with a single word, God helping me to say, “My trust is in the Lord,” My soul hath quelled a thousand foes Fearless of all that could oppose. But unbelief, self will, Self righteousness, and pride, How often do they steal My weapon from my side! Yet David’s Lord, and Gideon’s Friend, Will help His servant to the end.

• [1Sa 17:37] The Lord Be With Us

  The Lord be with us as we bend His blessing to receive; His gift of peace upon us send, Before His courts we leave. The Lord be with us as we walk Along our homeward road; In silent thought or friendly talk Our hearts be near to God. The Lord be with us as each day His blessings we receive; His gift of peace on all we pray, Before His courts we leave. The Lord be with us till the night Enfold our day of rest; Be He of every heart the Light, Of every home the Guest. The Lord be with us through the hours Of slumber calm and deep, Protect our homes, renew our powers, And guard us while we sleep.
