The Lord, who truly knows

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #331 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 The Lord, who truly knows The heart of ev'ry saint, Invites us by His holy word To pray and never faint. 2 He bows His gracious ear; We never plead in vain; Yet we must wait till He appear, And pray, and pray again. 3 Though unbelief suggest, Why should we longer wait? He bids us never give Him rest, But be importunate. 4 'Twas thus a widow poor, Without support or friend, Beset the unjust judge's door, And gain'd at last her end. 5 And shall not Jesus hear His children when they cry? Yes, though He may awhile forbear, He'll not their suit deny. 6 Then let us earnest be, And never faint in prayer; He loves our importunity, And makes our cause His care. Languages: English

My God, I love Thee; not because

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #332 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby; Nor yet because if I love not I must forever die. 2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me Upon the cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace. 3 And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony; E’en death itself--and all for one Who was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blesséd Jesus Christ! Should I not love Thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, Nor of escaping hell. 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught; Nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast lovéd me, O ever-lasting Lord! 6 E’en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.

Happy the heart where graces reign

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #333 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Happy the heart where graces reign, Where love inspires the breast: Love is the brightest of the train, And strengthens all the rest. 2 Knowledge, alas! 'tis all in vain, And all in vain our fear: Our stubborn sins will fight and reign, If love be absent there. 3 'Tis love that makes our cheerful feet In swift obedience move: The devils know, and tremble too; But devils do not love. 4 This is the grace that lives and sings When faith and hope shall cease; 'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings In the sweet realms of bliss.

Come, ye that love the Lord

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #334 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that love the Lord, And let your joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, And ye surround the throne. 2 Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God; But children of the Heavenly King, May speak their joys abroad. 3 The God who rules on high, Who all the earth surveys, Who rides upon the stormy sky, And calms the roaring seas: 4 This awful God is ours, Our Father and our love; He will send down His heavenly powers To carry us above. 5 There shall we see His face, And never, never sin! There, from the rivers of His grace, Drink endless pleasures in. 6 Then let our songs abound, And ev'ry tear be dry; We're marching through Immanuel's ground, To fairer worlds on high.

My God, the Spring of all my joys

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #335 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 My God, the Spring of all my joys, The Life of my delights, The Glory of my brightest days, And Comfort of my nights: 2 In darkest shades, if He appear, My dawning is begun; He is my soul’s sweet Morning Star, And he my rising Sun. 3 The opening heavens around me shine With beams of sacred bliss, While Jesus shows His heart is mine, And whispers, I am His. 4 My soul would leave this heavy clay At that transporting word, Run up with joy the shining way, T’embrace my dearest Lord. 5 Fearless of hell and ghastly death, I’d break through every foe; The wings of love and arms of faith Would bear me conqueror through.

Ever patient, gentle, meek

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #336 (1870) Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Ever patient, gentle, meek, Holy Saviour! was Thy mind; Vainly in myself I seek, Likeness to my Lord to find; Yet, that mind which was in Thee, May be, must be form'd in me. 2 Days of toil, 'mid throngs of men, Vex'd not, ruffled not Thy soul; Still, collected, calm, serene, Thou each feeling couldst control. Lord, that mind which was in Thee, May be, must be form'd in me. 3 Though such griefs were Thine to bear, For each suff'rer Thou couldst feel; Every mourner's burden share, Every wounded spirit heal: Saviour! let thy grace in me Form that mind which was in Thee.

Jesus, cast a look on me!

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #337 (1870) Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Jesus, cast a look on me! Give me true simplicity; Make me poor and keep me low, Seeking only Thee to know. 2 All that feeds my busy pride, Cast it evermore aside: Bid my will to Thine submit, Lay me humbly at Thy feet! 3 Make me like a little child, Simple, teachable, and mild; Seeing only in Thy light, Walking only in Thy might! 4 Leaning on Thy loving breast, Where a weary soul may rest; Feeling well the peace of God Flowing from Thy precious blood!

Happy the meek whose gentle breast

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #338 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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. Languages: English

We journey through a vale of tears

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #339 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 We journey through a vale of tears, By many a cloud o’ercast; And worldly cares, and worldly fears, Go with us to the last. 2 Not to the last! Thy Word hath said, Could we but read aright-- Poor pilgrim, lift in hope thy head; At eve there shall be light! 3 Only believe, in living faith, His love and power divine; And ere thy sun shall set in death, His light shall round thee shine. 4 When tempest-clouds are dark on high, His bow of love and peace Shines sweetly in the vaulted sky,-- A pledge that storms shall cease. 5 Hold on thy way, with hope unchill'd, By faith and not by sight, And thou shalt own His Word fulfill'd,-- At eve it shall be light.

"We've no abiding city here"

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #340 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience 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.
