Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 1,331 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Saviour too; Human hearts and looks deceive me: Thou art not, like them, untrue. And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends forsake me: Show Thy face and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble an distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may pressume, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me, While thy love is left to me! Oh,'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee! 4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find, in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee! What a Father's smile is thine; What a Saviour died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou r epine? Amen.

My Mother's Prayer (O'Kane)

Author: Tullius C. O'Kane, 1830-1912 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 21 hymnals First Line: As I wandered 'round the homestead Lyrics: 1. As I wandered ’round the homestead, Many a dear familiar spot Brought within my recollection Scenes I’d seemingly forgot; There, the orchard—meadow, yonder— Here the deep, old fashioned well, With its old moss covered bucket, Sent a thrill no tongue can tell. 2. Tho’ the house was held by strangers All remained the same within; Just as when a child I rambled Up and down, and out and in; To the garret dark ascending— Once a source of childish dread— Peering thro’ the misty cobwebs, Lo! I saw my trundle bed. 3. While I listen to the music Stealing on in gentle strain, I am carried back to childhood— I am now a child again; ’Tis the hour of my retiring, At the dusky eventide; Near my trundle bed I’m kneeling, As of yore, by mother’s side. 4. Hands are on my head so loving, As they were in childhood’s days; I, with weary tones, am trying To repeat the words she says; ’Tis a prayer in language simple As a mother’s lips can frame: Father, Thou who art in Heaven, Hallowed, ever, be Thy name. 5. Prayer is over: to my pillow With a good night! kiss I creep, Scarcely waking while I whisper, Now I lay me down to sleep. Then my mother, o’er me bending, Prays in earnest words, but mild: Hear my prayer, O heavenly Father, Bless, oh, bless, my precious child! 6. Yet I am but only dreaming: Ne’er I’ll be a child again; Many years has that dear mother In the quiet churchyard lain; But the memory of her counsels O’er my path a light has shed, Daily calling me to Heaven, Even from my trundle bed.
