Happy the meek whose gentle breast

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Happy the meek whose gentle breast, Clear as the summer's evening ray, Calm as the regions of the blest, Enjoys on earth celestial day. 2 His heart no broken friendships sting, No storms his peaceful tent invade; He rest beneath th'almighty's wing, Hostile to none, of none afraid. 3 Spirit of grace, all meek and mild! Inspire our breasts, our souls possess; Repel each passion rude and wild, And bless us as we aim to bless.

Jesus, my strength, my hope

Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 391 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 My God, my strength, my hope, On Thee I cast my care, With humble confidence look up, And know Thou hear’st my prayer. Give me on Thee to wait, Till I can all things do; On Thee, almighty to create, Almighty to renew. 2 I want a godly fear, A quick discerning eye, That looks to Thee when sin is near, And sees the tempter fly: A spirit still prepared, And arm'd with jealous care, For ever standing on its guard, And watching unto prayer. 3 I want a heart to pray, To pray and never cease, Never to murmur at thy stay Or wish my suff'rings less. This blessing, above all, Always to pray, I want, Out of the deep on Thee to call, And never, never faint. 4 I rest upon Thy Word; The promise is for me: My succor and salvation, Lord, Shall surely come from Thee. But let me still abide, Nor from my hope remove, Till Thou my patient spirit guide Into Thy perfect love.

A pilgrim and a stranger

Appears in 60 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger, I journey here below: Far distant is my country, The home to which I go. Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and opprest, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 There still my thoughts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call thy servant To blessedness with Thee! Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wanderings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To the sweet home of peace! 3 There I shall dwell forever, No more a stranger guest, With all thy blood-bought children, In everlasting rest: The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind us, Eternal joys before!

Prayer was appointed to convey

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 287 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Prayer was appointed to convey The blessings God designs to give; Long as they live, should Christians pray, For only while they pray, they live. 2 The Christian's heart his prayer indites, He speaks as prompted from within; The Spirit his petition writes, And Christ receives, and gives it in. 3 And shall we in dead silence lie When Christ stands waiting for our prayer? My soul, thou hast a friend on high; Arise, and try thine interest there. 4 If pains afflict, or wrongs oppress-- If cares distract, or fears dismay-- If guilt deject--if sin distress, Thy remedy's before thee--pray. 5 'Tis prayer supports the soul that's weak, Though thought be broken--language lame, Pray, if thou canst, or canst not speak, But pray with faith in Jesus' name.

And shall we still be slaves

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 And shall we still be slaves, And in our fetters lie, When summon'd by a voice divine T'assert our liberty? 2 Did the great Saviour bleed, Our freedom to obtain? And shall we trample on His blood, And glory in our chain? 3 Shall we go on to sin, Because Thy grace abounds; Or crucify the Lord again, And open all His wounds? 4 Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e'er be said, That those for whom Thy Son has died, In vice are lost and dead. 5 The man that durst despise The law that Moses brought, Behold! how terribly he dies For his presumptuous fault. 6 But sorer vengeance falls On that rebellious race, Who hate to hear when Jesus calls, And dare resist His grace.

Give me the wings of faith to rise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 525 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Give me the wings of faith to rise Within the veil, and see The saints above, how great their joys How bright their glories be. 2 Once they were mourning here below, And bathed their couch with tears; They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins, and doubts, and fears. 3 I ask them whence their vict'ry came; They, with united breath, Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, Their triumph to His death. 4 They mark'd the footsteps that He trod; His zeal inspired their breast; And, following their incarnate God, Possess the promised rest. 5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise, For His own pattern given; While the long cloud of witnesses Shows the same path to heaven.

And must this body die?

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 381 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 And must this body die? This mortal frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine Lie mould'ring in the clay? 2 God, my Redeemer lives, And often, from the skies, Looks down and watches all my dust, Till He shall bid it rise. 3 Array'd in glorious grace Shall these vile bodies shine, And ev'ry shape, and ev'ry face, Look heavenly and divine. 4 These lively hopes we owe To Jesus' dying love; We would adore His grace below, And sing His power above. 5 Dear Lord, accept the praise Of these our humble songs, Till tunes of nobler sound we raise With our immortal tongues.
