I bow my forehead to the dust

Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Trust; Confidence; God Presence, His Abiding; Hope; Humility; Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 I bow my forehead to the dust, I veil mine eyes for shame, And urge, in trembling self-distrust, A prayer without a claim. No offering of mine own I have, No works my faith to prove; I can but give the gifts He gave, And plead His love for love. 2 I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies. And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar: No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore. 3 I know not where His islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond His love and care. And Thou, O Lord, by whom are seen Thy creatures as they be, Forgive me if too close I lean My human heart on Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: PENTATONE

A lowly station in Thy house Were dearer to my heart Than in the tents of wickedness to claim the chiefest part. 3 A sun and shield is God, the Lord, To lighten and defend; The Lord to such as look to Him Will grace and glory send; To those that walk in righteousness No good will He deny; The Lord of Hosts, how blest are they Who on Thy grace rely.

O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 2 Teach me, O Lord, my days to number, And when this life I shall depart, Let me commend my soul to Jesus, And die with a repentant heart. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 3 O God, my sins in mercy cover With merits of Thy dying Son! In Him I put my trust securely, He on the cross my pardon won. O God, when toils my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 4 Help me to set mine house in order Betimes, and ever ready be, That when Thou callest, I may answer Lord, as Thou wilt do unto me. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 5 The sorrows and the cross of Jesus Make death-beds soft, and light the grave; They comfort me in hour of parting, And give the grace I fain would have. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 6 From Jesus naught shall ever part me; In faith I touch His pierced side And hail Him Lord, my God and Saviour; Nor life nor death shall us divide. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 7 Meanwhile in God I live contented, Or die without an anxious thought. Where He doth lead, there will I follow, For I believe without a doubt, Through faith, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake, all shall be well.
