I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling; oh, let me seek thee, and oh, let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh, teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame -- the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., (1944-) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:16-21 Lyrics: 1 Sing of God made manifest in a child robust and blest, to whose home in Bethlehem where a star had guided them, magi came and gifts unbound, signs mysterious and profound: myrrh and frankincense and gold grave and God and king foretold. 2 Sing of God made manifest when at Jordan John confessed, "I should be baptized by you, but your bidding I will do." Then from heaven a double sign -- dove-like Spirit, voice divine -- hailed the true Anointed One: "This is my beloved Son." 3 Sing of God made manifest when Christ came as wedding-guest and at Cana gave a sign, turning water into wine; further still was love revealed as he taught, forgave, and healed, bringing light and life to all who would listen to God's call. 4 Sing of God made manifest on the cloud-capped mountain's crest, where the law and prophets waned so that Christ alone remained: glimpse of glory, pledge of grace, given as Jesus set his face towards the waiting cross and grave, sign of hope that God would save.

Sweet be Thy words of sternest truth

Author: A. L. Waring Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 2 Peter 1:3 Lyrics: Sweet be Thy words of sternest truth, My risen Lord to me! Hid in the secret of my heart Their deepest treasure be; That I may comprehend the joy Of sacrifice for Thee. And, softly let the light of life, Before Thy servant shine, That through the gloom with steadfast will, My soul may follow Thine — Calm in the depth of one desire, And strong in one design. But never let me think I see Thy heavenly things aright, Unless the single eye of love Fill my whole mind with light, And to be like Thee in Thy death Seems glorious in my sight. That willing sacrifice of Thine My meditation make, Till to the true delight of life My soul with songs awake, — And all that spoils me of myself Be treasure for Thy sake. The tenderest heart Thy hands have made Beneath Thy rule may rest; For He who made it for Himself Knows what will shield it best, — The feeblest lover of Thy law, Dwells safely in Thy breast. Now through, a strait and painful way My weary feet must press; But what shall hurt the struggling soul Which Thou hast died to bless, Or prompt a spirit to complain That knows its blessedness! Nor seems it strange to one who weighs The joy of liberty, This death of suffering to himself, This life of love to Thee, Which gives the lowly power to reign And makes the servant free. O let no timid faithless thought Prevail my bonds to spare! Lord, I can drink Thy bitter cup, Thy fiery trial share, — I can deny myself for Thee, And for Thy glory care. Only the unction of Thy love, With every cross be mine — Till these Thy words — so firm to gird, So searching to refine — Be sweet unto Thy servant's soul Even as they are to Thine.
