Come to our poor nature's night

Author: George Rawson Meter: 7.7.7.5 Appears in 73 hymnals Lyrics: Come to our poor nature's night With thy blessed inward light, Holy Ghost the Infinite, Comforter divine. We are sinful, cleanse us, Lord; Sick and faint, thy strength afford; Lost, until by thee restored, Comforter divine. Orphan are our souls and poor; Give us from thy heavenly store Faith, love, joy for evermore, Comforter divine. Like the dew thy peace distill; Guide, subdue our wayward will, Things of Christ unfolding still, Comforter divine. With us, for us, intercede, And with voiceless groanings plead Our unutterable need, Comforter divine. In us, "Abba, Father," cry; Earnest of the bliss on high, Seal of immortality, Comforter divine. Search for us the depths of God; Upwards, by the starry road, Bear us to thy high abode, Comforter divine. Amen.

Christian, seek not yet repose

Author: William H. How Appears in 208 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christian, seek not yet repose, Cast thy dreams of ease away; Thou art in the midst of foes; Therefore watch and pray. 2 Gird thy heavenly armor on, Wear it ever, night and day; Near thee lurks the evil one; Therefore watch and pray. 3 Listen to thy sorrowing Lord, Him thou lovest to obey; It is he who speaks the word; Therefore watch and pray. 4 'Twas by watching and by prayer Holy men of olden day Won the palms and crowns they'll wear; Therefore watch and pray. 5 Watch, for thou thy guard must keep; Pray, for God must speed thy way; Narrow is the road and steep; Therefore watch and pray.
