O Zion, when I think of thee

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #341 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 O Zion, when I think of thee, I wish for pinions like a dove, And mourn to think that I should be So distant from the place I love. 2 An exile here, and far from home, For Zion's sacred walls I sigh; Thither the ransom'd nations come, And see the Saviour eye to eye. 3 While here I walk on hostile ground, The few that I can call my friends, Are like myself, with fetters bound, And weariness our steps attends. 4 But yet we shall behold the day When Zion's children shall return, Our sorrows then shall flee away, And we shall never, never mourn. 5 The hope that such a day will come Makes ev'n the exile's portion sweet; Though now we wander far from home, In Zion soon we all shall meet.

And let this feeble body fail

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #342 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it faint and die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long-sought rest, That only bliss for which it pants In the Redeemer's breast. 2 In hope of that immortal crown, I now the cross sustain, And gladly wonder up and down, And smile at toil and pain. I suffer on my threescore years Till my deliverer come, And wipe away his servant's tears, And take his exile home. 3 Oh, what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravish'd eyes Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise! I see a world of spirits bright Who taste the pleasures there! They all are robed in spotless white, And conq'ring palms they bear. 4 Oh, what are all my suff'rings here If, Lord, Thou count me meet, With that enraptured host t'appear, And worship at Thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away: But let me find them all again In that eternal day. Languages: English

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #343 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. 2 Oh, the transporting, rapt'rous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields array'd in living green, And rivers of delight. 3 There generous fruits, that never fail, On trees immortal grow; There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales With milk and honey flow. 4 All o'er those wide-extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns, And scatters night away. 5 No chilling winds or pois'nous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and fear'd no more. 6 When I shall reach that happy place, And be forever blest? When I shall see my Father's face, And in His bosom rest? 7 Fill'd with delight, my raptured soul Would here no longer stay; Though Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.

Must Jesus bear the cross alone

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #345 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone, And all the world go free? No, there's a cross for every one, And there's a cross for me. 2 How happy are the saints above, Who once went sorrowing here; But now they taste unmingled love, And joy without a tear. 3 The consecrated cross I'll bear, Till death shall set me free, And then go home my crown to wear, For there's a crown for me. 4 Upon the crystal pavement, down At Jesus' piercéd feet, Joyful I'll cast my golden crown, And His dear name repeat.

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #346 (1870) Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Oh, may Thy will be mine! Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign. Through sorrow or through joy Conduct me as Thine own, And help me still to say, My Lord, Thy will be done! 2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear; Since Thou on earth hast wept And sorrow'd oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done! 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me;: Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee: Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, My Lord, Thy will be done!

Thy way, not mine, O Lord

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #347 (1870) Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Thy way, not mine, O Lord, However dark it be! Lead me by Thine own hand; Choose out the path for me. 2 Smooth let it be, or rough, It still will be the best; Winding or straight, it leads Right onward to Thy rest. 3 I dare not choose my lot: I would not, if I might; Choose Thou for me, my God, So shall I walk aright. 4 The kingdom that I seek Is Thine: so let the way That leads to it be Thine, Else I must surely stray. 5 Choose Thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose Thou my cares for me, My poverty or wealth. 6 Not mine, not mine the choice, In things or great or small; Be Thou my Guide, my Strength, My Wisdom, and my All.

Or tremble at the gracious hand That wipes away my tears? 3 No, let me rather freely yield What most I prize to Thee, Who never hast a good withheld, Or wilt withhold from me. 4 Thy favor, all my journey through Thou art engaged to grant: What else I want, or think I do, 'Tis better still to want.

O Lord, how full of sweet content

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #349 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how full of sweet content Our years of pilgrimage are spent! Where'er we dwell, we dwell with Thee, In heaven, in earth, or on the sea. 2 To us remains nor place nor time; Our country is in every clime! We can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there. 3 While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none; But with our God to guide our way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay. 4 Could we be cast where Thou art not, That were indeed a dreadful lot; But regions none remote we call, Secure of finding God in all.

Love divine, all love excelling

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #350 (1870) Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling, Joy of heaven, to earth come down! Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart! 2 Breathe, oh, breathe Thy loving spirit Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously return, and never, Never more Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above; Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy precious love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation, Pure, unspotted may we be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee! Change from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Languages: English
