"A little while"

Author: Mrs. Jane Crewdson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #410 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Oh, for the peace which floweth like a river Lyrics: 1 Oh, for the peace which floweth like a river, Making life's desert places bloom and smile! Oh, for the faith to grasp heaven's bright "for ever," Amid the shadows of earth's "little while!" 2 A little while for patient vigil-keeping, To face the storm, to battle with the strong; A little while to sow the seed with weeping, Then bind the sheaves and sing the harvest song! 3 A little while to keep the oil from failing, A little while faith's flickering lamp to trim; And then, the Bridegroom's coming footsteps hailing, To haste to meet him with the bridal hymn! 4 And he who is himself the gift and giver, The future glory and the present smile, With the bright promise of the glad "for ever" Will light the shadows of the "little while!"

This will I give to Jesus, etc. 3 Thy Spirit give, Lord Jesus, To strengthen me for this; That I may have thy loving smile, And share thine endless bliss.

Holy Lord God! I love thy truth

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #421 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Holy Lord God! I love thy truth, Nor dare thy least commandment slight; Yet pierc'd by sin, the serpent’s tooth, I mourn the anguish of the bite. 2 But though the poison lurks within, Hope bids me still with patience wait; Till death shall set me free from sin, Free from the only thing I hate. 3 Had I a throne above the rest, Where angels and archangels dwell; One sin unslain within my breast, Would make that heaven as dark as hell. 4 The prisoner, sent to breathe fresh air, And bless'd with liberty again, Would mourn were he condemned to wear One link of all his former chain. 5 But oh! no foe invades the bliss, When glory crowns the Christian’s head; One view of Jesus as he is, Will strike all sin for ever dead.

"The burden rolled away"

Author: Ellen H. Willis Hymnal: Laudes Domini #430 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: I left it all with Jesus long ago Lyrics: 1 I left it all with Jesus long ago, All my sins I brought him and my woe; When by faith I saw him on the tree, Heard his small, still whisper, "'Tis for thee." From my heart the burden rolled away! Happy day. 2 I leave it all with Jesus, for he knows How to steal the bitter from life's woes; How to gild the tear-drop with his smile, Make the desert garden bloom awhile: When my weakness leaneth on his might, All seems light. 3 I leave it all with Jesus day by day; Faith can firmly trust him, come what may. Hope has dropped her anchor, found her rest, In the calm sure haven of his breast; Love esteems it heaven to abide At his side. Languages: English Tune Title: SECURITY

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #432 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie, that binds Our hearts in Christian love! The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne, We pour our ardent pray'rs: Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain: But we shall still be join'd in heart, And hope to meet again. 5 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

God our Father

Winkworth Hymnal: Laudes Domini #436 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Here I can firmly rest Lyrics: 1 Here I can firmly rest; I dare to boast of this, That God, the highest and the best, My Friend and Father is. 2 Naught have I of my own, Naught in the life I lead; What Christ hath given, that alone I dare in faith to plead. 3 I rest upon the ground Of Jesus and his blood; It is through him that I have found My soul's eternal good. 4 At cost of all I have, At cost of life and limb, I cling to God who yet shall save; I will not turn from him. 5 His Spirit in me dwells, O'er all my mind he reigns; My care and sadness he dispels, And soothes away my pains. 6 He prospers day by day His work within my heart, Till I have strength and faith to say, "Thou, God, my Father art!"

"It is well"

In time, and to eternal days, "'Tis with the righteous well!" 2 Well when they see his face, Or sink amidst the flood; Well in affliction's thorny maze, Or on the mount with God. 3 'Tis well when joys arise, 'Tis well when sorrows flow, 'Tis well when darkness vails the skies, And strong temptations grow. 4 'Tis well when Jesus calls, "From earth and sin arise, To join the hosts of ransomed souls, Made to salvation wise!"

Sinai and Calvary

Author: John Hay Hymnal: Laudes Domini #440 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: From Sinai's cloud of darkness Lyrics: 1 From Sinai's cloud of darkness The vivid lightnings play, They serve the God of vengeance, The Lord who shall repay. Each fault must bring its penance, Each sin the avenging blade; For God upholds in justice The laws that he hath made. 2 But Calvary stands to ransom The earth from utter loss, In shade than light more glorious, The shadow of the Cross. To heal a sick world's trouble, To soothe its woe and pain, On Calvary's sacred summit The Paschal Lamb was slain. 3 The boundless might of Heaven Its law in mercy furled, As once the bow of promise O'erarched a drowning world. The law said As you keep me It shall be done to you. But Calvary prays--Forgive them, They know not what they do. 4 Almighty God! direct us To keep thy perfect Law! O blessed Saviour, help us Nearer to thee to draw; Let Sinai's thunders aid us To guard our feet from sin, And Calvary's light inspire us The love of God to win. Languages: English Tune Title: ST.
