How do Thy mercies close me round!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 How do Thy mercies close me round! For ever be Thy name adored; I blush in all things to abound; The servant is above his Lord! 2 Inured to poverty and pain, A suff'ring life my Master led: The Son of God, the Son of man, He had not where to lay His head. 3 But lo! a place He hath prepared For me, whom watchful angels keep; Yea, He himself becomes my guard; He smooths my bed and gives me sleep. 4 Jesus protects; my fears, begone: What can the Rock of Ages move? Safe in Thine arms I lay me down, Thine everlasting arms of love. 5 I rest beneath th'Almighty's shade, My griefs expire, my troubles cease; Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stay'd, Wilt keep me still in perfect peace. 6 Me for Thine own Thou lov'st to take In time and in eternity; Thou never, never wilt forsake A helpless worm that trusts in Thee.

Claim me, for thy service claim All I have, and all I am. 3 Take my soul and body's powers! Take my mem'ry, mind, and will, All my goods and all my hours, All I know and all I feel: All I think, or speak, or do; Take my heart; but make it new! 4 Now, O God, thine own I am: Now I give thee back thine own; Freedom, friends, and health, and fame, Consecrate to thee alone: Thine I live, thrice happy I; Happier still if thine I die. 5 Father, Son and Holy Ghost, One in Three, and Three in One, As by the celestial host, Let thy will on earth be done: Praise by all to thee be given, Glorious Lord of earth and heaven.

"We've no abiding city here"

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 182 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The Christian life figuratively described as Taking up the Cross Lyrics: 1 "We've no abiding city here," This may distress the worldly mind; But should not cost a saint a tear, Who hopes a better rest to find. 2 "We've no abiding city here," Sad truth were this to be our home; But let this thought our spirits cheer, "We seek a city yet to come." 3 "We've no abiding city here," Then let us live as pilgrims do; Let not the world our rest appear; But let us haste from all below. 4 "We've no abiding city here," We seek a city out of sight: Zion it's name,--the Lord is there, It shines with everlasting light. 5 O! sweet abode of peace and love, Where pilgrims freed from toil are blest! Had I the pinions of the dove, I'd flee to thee, and be at rest. 6 But hush, my soul, nor dare repine! The time my God appoints is best: While here, to do his will be mine; And his to fix my time of rest. Scripture: Hebrews 13:14

O Zion, when I think of thee

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The Christian life figuratively described as Taking up the Cross Lyrics: 1 O Zion, when I think of thee, I wish for pinions like a dove, And mourn to think that I should be So distant from the place I love. 2 "An exile here, and far from home, For Zion's sacred walls I sigh, Thither the ransom'd nations come, And see the Saviour eye to eye. 3 "While here I walk on hostile ground, The few that I can call my friends, Are like myself, with fetters bound, And weariness our steps attends. 4 "But yet we shall behold the day When Zion's children shall return; Our sorrows then shall flee away, And we shall never, never mourn. 5 "The hope that such a day will come Makes even the exile's portion sweet; Though now we wander far from home, In Zion soon we all shall meet."
