Lord, unafflicted, undismayed

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #320 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 Lord, unafflicted, undismayed, In pleasure's path how long I stayed! Bur Thou hast made me feel Thy rod, And turned my soul to Thee, my God. 2 What though it pierced my fainting heart, I bless Thy hand that cased the smart; It taught my tears a while to flow, But saved me from eternal woe. 3 Oh hadst Thou left me unchastised, Thy precepts I had still despised, And still the snare, in secret laid Had my unwary feet betrayed. 4 I love Thy chastenings, oh my God; They fix my hopes on Thy abode, Where, in Thy presence fully blest, Thy stricken saints for ever rest.

Abide with me! fast falls the evenitde

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #321 (1867) Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide, The darkness deepens--Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day-- Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see-- O Thou who changest not, abide with me! 3 I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and strength can be? In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Languages: English

O Thou who driest the mourner's tear

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #322 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 O Thou who driest the mourner’s tear, How dark this world would be, If, pierced by sins and sorrows here, We could not fly to Thee! 2 But Thou wilt heal that broken heart, Which, like the plants that throw Their fragrance from the wounded part, Breathes sweetness out of woe. 3 When joy no longer soothes or cheers, And even the hope that threw A moment’s sparkle o’er our tears, Is dimmed and vanished too,— 4 Oh who could bear life’s stormy doom, Did not Thy wing of love Come brightly wafting through the gloom Our peace-branch from above? 5 Then sorrow, touched by Thee, grows bright, With more than rapture’s ray; As darkness shows us worlds of light We never saw by day.

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #324 (1867) Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 Oh my soul, what means this sadness? Wherefore art thou thus cast down? Let thy griefs be turned to gladness, Bid thy restless fears be gone; Look to Jesus, And rejoice in His dear name. 2 What though Satan's strong temptations Vex and grieve thee day by day? And thy sinful inclinations Often fill thee with dismay? Thou shalt conquer, Through the Lamb's redeeming blood. 3 Though ten thousand ills beset thee, From without and from within, Jesus saith He'll ne'er forget thee, But will save from hell and sin: He is faithful To perform His gracious Word. 4 Though distresses now attend thee, And thou tread'st the thorny road, His right hand shall still defend thee; Soon He'll bring thee home to God! Therefore praise Him-- Praise the great Redeemer's name. 5 Oh that I could now adore Him Like the heavenly host above, Who for ever bow before Him, And unceasing sing His love! Happy songsters! When shall I your chorus join? Languages: English

There is a pure and peaceful wave

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #325 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 There is a pure and peaceful wave, That rolls around the throne of love; Whose waters gladden as they lave The bright and heavenly shores above. 2 While streams, which on that tide depend, Steal from those heavenly shores away, And on this desert world descend, Over our barren land to stray,-- 3 The pilgrim, faint and near to sink Beneath his load of earthly woe, Refreshed in its gentle flow. 4 There, oh my soul, do thou repose, And hover o'er the hallowed spring, To drink the crystal wave, and there To lave thy wounded, weary wing. 5 It may be that the waft of love Some leaves on that pure tide hath driven, Which passing from the shores above, Have floated down to us from heaven. 6 So shall thy wants and woes be healed By the blest influence they bring; So thy parched lips shall be unsealed, Thy Saviour's worthy name to sing.

When languor and disease invade

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #326 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 When languor and disease invade This trembling house of clay, ’Tis sweet to look beyond my pains, And long to fly away. 2 Sweet to look inward, and attend The whispers of His love; Sweet to look upward to the place Where Jesus pleads above. 3 Sweet on His faithfulness to rest, Whose love can never end; Sweet on His covenant of grace For all things to depend. 4 If such the sweetness of the streams, What must the fountain be, Where saints and angels draw their bliss Immediately from thee!

Commit Thy way, confiding

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #327 (1867) Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 Commit Thy way, confiding, When trials here arise, To Him whose hand is guiding The tumults of the skies. There clouds and tempests, raging, Have all their path assigned; Will God, for thee engaging, No way of safety find? 2 Trust in the Lord! His favor Will for thy wants provide; Regard His word!--and ever Thy work shall safe abide. When sorrows here o'ertake thee, And self-inflicted care, Let not thy God forsake thee! He listens for thy prayer. 3 Hope on! thou weak believer, Hope on, and falter not! He will thy soul deliver From deeps of troubled thought: Thy graces He will nourish, With hope thy heart employ, Till faith and hope shall flourish And yield their fruits of joy. 4 The sorrows, Lord, that try us, Oh bring them to an end! With needed strength supply us, From ever foe defend! Let us, till death pursuing The best--Thy chosen--way, In heaven our life renewing, Praise Thee in endless day.

When musing sorrow weeps the past

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #328 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 When musing sorrow weeps the past, And mourns the present pain, 'Tis sweet to think of peace at last, And feel that death is gain. 2 'Tis not that mumuring thoughts arise, And dread a Father's will; 'Tis not that meek submission flies, And would not suffer still. 3 It is that heaven-born faith surveys The path that leads to light, And longs her eagle plumes to raise, And lose herself in sight. 4 O let me wing my hallowed flight From earth-born woe and care, And soar above these clouds of night, My Saviour's bliss to share!
