When struggling on the bed of pain,
And earth and all its joys are vain.
How sweet, my God, to know thy power
Sustains me in this trying hour!

Notice the part of the hymnbook title that says “Social, Private and Public Worship” — where “social” refers group hymnsinging outside of Sabbath observance.
