Matthew 6:6

• [Mat 6:6] Alone With God

  When storms of life are round me beating, When rough the path that I have trod, Within my closet door retreating, I love to be alone with God. Refrain Alone with God, the world forbidden, Alone with God, O blest retreat! Alone with God, and in Him hidden, To hold with Him communion sweet. What tho’ the clouds have gathered o’er me? What tho’ I’ve passed beneath the rod? God’s perfect will there lies before me, When I am thus alone with God. Refrain ’Tis there I find new strength for duty, As o’er the sands of time I plod; I see the King in all His beauty, While resting there alone with God. Refrain And when I see the moment nearing When I shall sleep beneath the sod, When time with me is disappearing, I want to be alone with God. Refrain

• [Mat 6:6] He Will Meet You There

  Would you gain the victory over every sin? Would you in each battle for your Captain win? Hide away with Jesus, yield not to despair; Find your secret closet—He will meet you there. Refrain He will meet you there, He will meet you there; Find your secret closet—He will meet you there; If your heart is burdened, if His grace you’d share, Find your secret closet—He will meet you there. Would you spend your lifetime in the Lord’s employ? And the richest blessings from His hand enjoy? Hide away with Jesus from the world of care; Find your secret closet—He will meet you there. Refrain Would you walk with Jesus in the narrow way? Hear His faintest whisper when your feet would stray? Hide away with Jesus from the tempter’s snare; Find your secret closet—He will meet you there. Refrain Would you be His jewel when He claims His own? Would you share His glory shining round the throne? Hide away with Jesus, keep in constant prayer; Find your secret closet—He will meet you there. Refrain

• [Mat 6:6] ’mid All The Traffic Of The Ways

  ’Mid all the traffic of the ways, Turmoils without, within, Make in my heart a quiet place, And come and dwell therein. A little shrine of quietness, All sacred to Thyself, Where Thou shalt all my soul possess, And I may find myself. A little shelter from life’s stress, Where I may lay me prone, And bare my soul in loneliness, And know as I am known. A little place of mystic grace, Of self and sin swept bare, Where I may look upon Thy face, And talk with Thee in prayer.

  Pray, pray, when things go wrong, And gloomy fears around you throng; The loving God your voice will hear, Look up to Him, He’s always near. Refrain Pray, pray though your eyes grow dim, Go with your troubles straight to Him; Pray, pray, for God understands; Have faith, leaving all in His dear hands. Pray, pray, be calm and still, Whatever comes must be His will; His promises like buds unfold, Naught that is good will He withhold. Refrain Pray, pray till faith grows strong, And in your heart rings Heaven’s song; Till self shall die in pure desire, And every thought to Him aspire. Refrain

• [Mat 6:6] Pray When The Morn Is Breaking

  Pray when the morn is breaking, Pray when the noon is bright, Pray with the eve’s declining, Pray in the hush of night: With mind made pure of passion, All meaner thoughts away, Low in thy chamber kneeling, Do thou in secret pray. Remember all who love thee, All who are loved by thee, And next for those that hate thee Pray thou, if such there be; Last for thyself in meekness A blessing humbly claim, And link with each petition Thy great Redeemer’s Name. But if ’tis e’er denied thee In solitude to pray, Should holy thoughts come o’er thee Upon life’s crowded way, E’en then the silent breathing That lifts thy soul above Shall reach the thronèd presence Of Mercy, Truth, and Love.

• [Mat 6:6] Simple, Earnest Prayer, The

  In the twilight of the morning, When the shadows steal away, And we wake from balmy slumber To behold another day, Let us go alone in secret, And unburden all our care At the feet of our Redeemer, In the simple, earnest prayer. Refrain Let Thy presence, blessèd Savior, Our protection ever be; Give us strength for every trial, Keep, oh, keep us close to Thee. In the noontide, calm and peaceful, When we pause awhile to rest, Ere the sun in all its glory Is declining towards the west; In the midst of our temptation, When the cross is hard to bear, If we cannot go in secret, God will hear the silent prayer. Refrain When the toils of day are over, And we seek the hallowed place Where by faith we meet our Savior, And adore Him for His grace; How we feel our burden lighter, Till we loose our weight of care, While we lift our hearts together In the simple, earnest prayer.

• [Mat 6:8] My Father Knows

  I know my heav’nly Father knows The storms that would my way oppose; But He can drive the clouds away, And turn the darkness into day. I know my heav’nly Father knows The balm I need to soothe my woes; And with His touch of love divine He heals this wounded heart of mine. I know my heav’nly Father knows How frail I am to meet my foes; But He my cause will e’er defend, Uphold and keep me to the end. I know my heav’nly Father knows The hour my journey here will close; And may that hour, O faithful Guide, Find me safe sheltered by Thy side.

• [Mat 6:9] Eternal Power, Whose High Abode

  Eternal Power, whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God, Infinite lengths beyond the bounds Where stars resolve their little rounds! The lowest step around Thy seat, Rises too high for Gabriel’s feet; In vain the favored angel tries To reach Thine height with wond’ring eyes. There while the first archangel sings, He hides his face behind his wings, And ranks of shining thrones around Fall worshiping, and spread the ground. Lord, what shall earth and ashes do? We would adore our Maker, too; From sin and dust to Thee we cry, The Great, the Holy, and the High. Earth from afar has heard Thy fame, And worms have learned to lisp Thy Name; But, O! the glories of Thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. God is in Heaven, and men below; Be short our tunes, our words be few; A solemn reverence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.

  Father of all, to Thee With loving hearts we pray, Through Him, in mercy given, The Life, the Truth, the Way; From Heav’n, Thy throne, in mercy shed Thy blessings on each bended head. Father of all, to Thee Our contrite hearts we raise, Unstrung by sin and pain, Long voiceless in Thy praise; Breathe Thou the silent chords along, Until they tremble into song. Father of all, to Thee We breathe unuttered fears, Deep hidden in our souls, That have no voice but tears; Take Thou our hand, and through the wild Lead gently each trustful child. Father of all, may we In praise our tongues employ, When gladness fills the soul With deep and hallowed joy; In storm and calm give us to see The path of peace which leads to Thee.

  Jesus, kneel beside me, In the dawn of day; Thine is prayer eternal— Teach me how to pray! Master, work beside me In the shining sun; Gently guide Thy servant Till the work be done.

• [Mat 6:14] Let Something Good Be Said

  When o’er the fame of friend or foe, The shadow of disgrace shall fall; instead Of words of blame, or fatal blow— Let something good be said. Refrain And so I charge ye by the thorny crown, And by the cross on which the Savior bled, And by your own soul’s hope of fair renown: Let something be good said. Forget not grace, no sinner yet May fall so low but Christ can lift his head, While cheeks of shame with tears are wet; Let something be good said. Refrain No generous heart may turn aside To deeds of love—if they in sin be dead, But may awaken glorified, If something good be said. Refrain If cruel words embitter thee, Turn to the cross on Calvary, where said The Savior: “O forgive,” and see That something good be said. Refrain

  Think gently of the erring one; O let us not forget, However darkly stained by sin, He is our brother yet! Heir of the same inheritance, Child of the selfsame God, He hath but stumbled in the path We have in weakness trod. Speak gently to the erring ones: We yet may lead them back, With holy words, and tones of love, From misery’s thorny track. Forget not, brother, thou hast sinned, And sinful yet may’st be; Deal gently with the erring heart, As God has dealt with thee.

• [Mat 6:26] There’s Not A Bird With Lonely Nest

  There’s not a bird with lonely nest, In pathless wood or mountain crest, Nor meaner thing, which does not share, O God, in Thy paternal care. Each barren crag, each desert rude, Holds Thee within its solitude; And Thou dost bless the wand’rer there, Who makes his solitary prayer. In busy mart and crowded street, No less than in the still retreat, Thou, Lord, art near, our souls to bless With all a parent’s tenderness. And we, where’er our lot is cast, While life, and thought, and feeling last, Through all the years, in every place, Will bless Thee for Thy boundless grace.
