Difficulties, in the Way of Duty, surmounted--Hinder me not

Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 24:56 First Line: When Abraham's servant to procure Lyrics: 1 When Abraham's servant to procure A Wife for Isaac went, He met Rebekah--told his wish,-- Her parents gave Consent. 2 Yet for ten Days, they urg'd the Man, His Journey to delay; Hinder me not, he quick reply'd, Since GOD hath crown'd my Way. 3 'Twas thus I cry', when CHRIST the LORD, My Soul to him did wed; Hinder me not, nor Friends, nor Foes, Since GOD my Way hath sped. 4 Stay, says the World, and taste a while, My every pleasant Sweet; Hinder me not, my Soul replies, Because the Way is great. 5 Stay Satan my old Master cries, Or Force shall thee detain; Hinder me not, I will be gone, My GOD has broke thy Chain.] 6 In all my LORDS's appointed Ways, My Journey I'll pursue; Hinder me not, ye much-lov'd Saints, For I must go with you. 7 Thro' Floods and Flames, if JESUS lead, I'll follow where he goes; Hinder me not, shall be my Cry, Tho' Earth and Hell oppose. 8 Thro' Duty, and thro' Trials too, I'll go at his Command; Hinder me not, for I am bound, To my Immanuel's Land. 9 And when my Saviour calls me Home, Still this my Cry shall be; Hinder me not, come welcome Death, I'll gladly go with Thee.

I love to steal awhile away

Author: Mrs. Brown Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 631 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 24:63 Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away From every cumb'ring care; And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer. 2 I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear; And all his promises to plead, Where none but God can hear. 3 I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore; And all my cares and sorrows cast On him whom I adore. 4 I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven: The prospect does my strength renew, While here by tempests driven. 5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day.

When love explodes and fills the sky, praise God and share our Maker's joy. 2 When love has flowered in trust and care, build both each day that love may dare to reach beyond home's warmth and light, to serve and strive for truth and right. 3 When love is tried as loved ones change, hold still to hope though all seems strange, till ease returns and love grows wise through listening ears and opened eyes. 4 When love is tried and trust betrayed, pray strength to love till torments fade, till lovers keep no score of wrong but hear through pain love's Easter song. 5 Praise God for love, praise God for life, in age or youth, in calm or strife. Lift up your hearts, let love be fed through death and life in broken bread. Topics: Family and Relationships; Occasional Services Marriage Used With Tune: O WALY WALY
