Tis Midnight; and on Olive's Brow

Author: William B. Tappan Appears in 640 hymnals Matching Instances: 565 Lyrics: 1 'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow The star is dimmed that lately shone: 'Tis midnight; in the garden now, The suff'ring Saviour prays alone. 2 'Tis midnight; and from all removed, The Savior wrestles lone with fears; E'en that disciple whom He loved Heeds not His master's grief and tears. 3 'Tis midnight; and for others' guilt The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood; Yet He that hath in anguish knelt Is not forsaken by His God. 4 'Tis midnight; and from heav'nly plains Is borne the song that angels know; Unheard by mortals are the strains That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe.

'Tis by the faith of joys to come

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 300 hymnals Matching Instances: 274 Lyrics: 1. 'Tis by the faith of joys to come We walk through deserts dark as night, Till we arrive at heaven our home, Faith is our guide, and faith our light. 2. The want of sight she well supplies; She makes the pearly gates appear; Far into distant worlds she pries, And brings eternal glories near. 3. Cheerful we tread the desert through, While faith inspires a heavenly ray, Though lions roar and tempests blow And rocks and dangers fill the way. 4. So Abraham, by divine command, Left his own house to walk with God; Hid faith beheld the promised land, And fired his zeal along the road. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

'Tis a Point I Long To Know

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 277 hymnals Matching Instances: 254 First Line: ’Tis a point I long to know Lyrics: 1 ’Tis a point I long to know, Oft it causes anxious thought; Do I love the Lord, or no? Am I His, or am I not? 2 If I love, why am I thus? Why this dull and lifeless frame? Hardly, sure, can they be worse, Who have never heard His name! 3 Could my heart so hard remain, Prayer a task and burden prove; Every trifle give me pain, If I knew a Savior’s love? 4 When I turn my eyes within, All is dark, and vain, and wild; Filled with unbelief and sin, Can I deem myself a child? 5 If I pray, or hear, or read, Sin is mixed with all I do; You that love the Lord indeed, Tell me: Is it thus with you? 6 Yet I mourn my stubborn will, Find my sin, a grief, and thrall; Should I grieve for what I feel, If I did not love at all? 7 Could I joy His saints to meet, Choose the ways I once abhorred, Find, at times, the promise sweet, If I did not love the Lord? 8 Lord, decide the doubtful case! Thou who art Thy people’s sun; Shine upon Thy work of grace, If it be indeed begun. 9 Let me love Thee more and more, If I love at all, I pray; If I have not loved before, Help me to begin today.
