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 3:1

• [1Sa 3:1] How Precious, Lord, Thy Sacred Word

  How precious, Lord, Thy sacred Word, What light and joy those leaves afford To souls in deep distress! Thy precepts guide our doubtful way, Thy fear forbids our feet to stray, Thy promise leads to rest. Thy threat’nings wake our slum’bring eyes, And warn us where our danger lies; But ’tis Thy Gospel, Lord, That makes the guilty conscience clean, Converts the soul, and conquers sin, And gives a free reward.

• [1Sa 3:1] My Precious Bible

  My Bible, precious treasure! Worth more than gems or gold; Be it my choicest treasure Thy covers to unfold. Thy fair illumined pages With God’s own glory shine; Down through the long, long ages, It gleams in ev’ry line. Refrain My precious Bible! ’tis a book divine, Where heavenly truth and mercy shine, And wisdom speaks in ev’ry line, Speaks to me, speaks to me, Speaks good news to me. For God’s exceeding glory, His very life is love; All through His sacred story Its splendor is inwove. It glows in man’s creation, And O! more radiant still, In His complete salvation, From sin and mortal ill. Refrain I read and weep and wonder, How God, a holy God, Could still the law’s wild thunder, With mercy, gentle word. How raise the pale transgressor, Bow low with pain and fear, And make him Heav’n’s possessor, With Christ, the Son, an heir. Refrain O, marvelous relation! O, tender, pitying love! Of saints the admiration, The song of host above. Be this my wondrous story, My daily, fresh delight, And in this flood of glory, My soul be ever bright. Refrain

• [1Sa 3:1] Precious Words

  O the joy while thus we meet, Learning here at Jesus’ feet Words of truth that point the way To realms of day! Precious words of worth untold, Ever new but never old, May we read them o’er and o’er, And love them more. Words that tell of Him Who came In His Father’s blessèd name; And the angels at His birth Sang “Peace on earth”; Words that tell His love to men, How He died and rose again, To provide a mansion fair That we might share. Words that kindly say to all, While their tones like music fall, “Come to Jesus while you may; He calls today”; If our heart we open wide, He will then with us abide; We may dwell with Him above, Where all is love.

• [1Sa 3:1] There’s A Picture Fair And Bright

  There’s a picture fair and bright, Hanging still on memory’s wall: There I see my father take the Book divine; Dear home faces gathered round, As the shadows softly fall, And a light from out the pages seems to shine. Refrain Dear old Book, precious Book, On thy pages soiled and worn I love to look! O thou balm for hearts that ache, For my sainted mother’s sake, Thou art dearer day by day, thou blessèd Book! While I look, the pictures change, And I see my mother’s face; In her hand the Bible, worn and stained with tears; But the light is shining still, And within the hallowed place There is comfort for earth’s griefs and doubts and fears. Refrain O the blessèd days of old, When I felt my mother’s hand, With its tender touch of love upon my head, While the old, old, story sweet, Which a child can understand, From the pages of the Book divine she read. Refrain When I long for voices hushed, And the touch of vanished hands, In the darkness when death’s angel spreads his wing, Let me turn to mother’s Book, With its comforts and commands, For the peace and hope its blessèd pages bring! Refrain

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.
