How Tedious and Tasteless the Hours

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 660 hymnals Topics: Faithfulness of the believer Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours When Jesus no longer I see! Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flow'rs, Have all lost their sweetness to me. The midsummer sun shines but dim; The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in Him, December's as pleasant as May. 2 His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music His voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice; I should, were He always thus nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I; My summer would last all the year. 3 Content with beholding His face, My all to His pleasure resigned, No changes of seasons or place Would make any change in my mind. While blest with a sense of His love, A palace a toy would appear; And prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. 4 Dear Lord, if indeed I am Thine, If Thou art my sun and my song, Say, why do I languish and pine? And why are my winter so long? O drive these dark clouds from my sky; Thy soul-cheering presence restore, Or take me unto Thee on high, Where winter and clouds are no more. Scripture: Zechariah 10:2 Used With Tune: DE FLEURY

Refrain: I’m going through, yes, I’m going through; I’ll pay the price, whatever others do; I’ll take the way with the Lord’s despised few, I’m going through, Jesus, I’m going through. 2 Many they are who start in the race; But with the light they refuse to keep pace; Others accept it because it is new, But not very many expect to go through. [Refrain] 3 I’d rather walk with Jesus alone, And have for a pillow, like Jacob, a stone, Living each moment with His face in view, Than shrink from my pathway and fail to go through. [Refrain] 4 O brother, now will you take up the cross? Give up the world, and count it as dross; Sell all thou hast, and give to the poor, Then go through with Jesus and those who endure. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 9:23 Used With Tune: [Lord, I have started to walk in the light]
