Happy the man whose wishes climb
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #370 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Happy the man whose wishes climb
To mansions in the skies!
He looks on all the joys of time
With undesiring eyes.
2 In vain soft pleasure spreads her charms,
And throws her silken chain;
And wealth and fame invite his arms,
And tempt his ear in vain.
3 He knows that all these glitt'ring things
Must yield to sure decay;
And sees on time's extended wings
How swift they flee away.
4 To things unseen by mortal eyes,
A beam of sacred light
Directs his view; his prospects rise
All permanent and bright.
5 His hopes are fix'd on joys to come:
Those blissful scenes on high
Shall flourish in immortal bloom,
When time and nature die. Languages: English
Happy the man whose wishes climb
Courage, my soul! while God is near
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #371 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Courage, my soul! while God is near,
What enemy hast thou to fear?
How canst thou want a sure defence,
Whose refuge is Omnipotence?
2 Though thickest dangers crowd my way,
My God can chase my fears away:
My steadfast heart on Him relies,
And all those dangers still defies.
3 Though billows after billows roll
To overwhelm my sinking soul,
Firm as a rock my faith shall stand
Upheld by God's almighty hand.
4 In life, His presence is my aid;
In death, 'twill guide me through the shade,
Chase all my rising fears away,
And turn my darkness into day. Languages: English
Courage, my soul! while God is near
I look to Jesus, and the face
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #372 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 I look to Jesus, and the face
Of God is turn'd on me in love,
I feel a Father's fond embrace,
And all my doubts and fears remove.
2 I look to Jesus, and behold!
My heart is lighten'd of its cares,
My love for earthly things grows cold,
And pleasure vainly spreads her snares.
3 I look to Jesus, and the sight
Of all that He endured for me,
Makes e'en my greatest sufferings light,
Compared with His deep agony.
4 I look to Jesus when my zeal
And faith and love grow dead and cold;
Then doth He Calvary reveal,
And makes me in His service bold.
5 Thus let me, Lord, while life doth last,
In faith look ever up to Thee,
And when life's sinful days are past
I shall Thy face in glory see. Languages: English
I look to Jesus, and the face
O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #373 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!
Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more!
The light of His countenance shineth so bright,
That here, as in heaven, there need be no night.
2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear;
I tremble no more when I see Jesus near;
I know that His presence my safeguard will be,
For, "Why are you troubled?" He saith unto me.
3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found,
When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round:
They bear me away in His presence to be:
I see Him still nearer whom always I see.
4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace
Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face;
I shall know how His love went before me each day,
And wonder that ever my eyes turn'd away. Languages: English
O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #374 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
No one into His kingdom comes,
But through His open'd door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blesséd face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be!
5 Then I shall end my sad complaints,
And weary, sinful days,
And join with all triumphant saints
Who sing my Jehovah's praise.
6 My knowledge of that life is small;
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him. Languages: English
Lord, it belongs not to my care
And art Thou with us, gracious Lord
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #375 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 And art Thou with us, gracious Lord,
To dissipate our fear?
Dost Thou proclaim Thyself our God,
Our God for ever near?
2 Doth Thy right hand, which form'd the earth,
And bears up all the skies,
Stretch from on high its friendly aid,
When dangers round us rise?
3 And wilt Thou lead our weary souls
To that delightful scene,
Where rivers of salvation flow
Through pastures ever green?
4 On Thy support our souls shall lean,
And banish ev'ry care;
The gloomy vale of death shall smile,
If God be with us there.
5 While we His gracious succor prove,
'Midst all our various ways,
The darkest shades through which we pass
Shall echo with His praise. Languages: English
And art Thou with us, gracious Lord
God of my life, whose gracious power
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #376 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 God of my life, whose gracious power
Through various deaths my soul hath led,
Or turn'd aside the fatal hour,
Or lifted up my sinking head!
2 In all my ways Thy hand I own,
Thy ruling providence I see:
Assist me still my course to run,
And still direct my paths to Thee.
3 Whither, oh, whither should I fly,
But to my loving Saviour's breast;
Secure within Thine arms to lie,
And safe beneath Thy wings to rest?
4 I have no skill the snare to shun,
But Thou, O Christ! my Wisdom art:
I ever into ruin run,
But Thou art greater than my heart.
5 Foolish, and impotent, and blind,
Lead me a way I have not known;
Bring me where I my heaven may find,
The heaven of loving Thee alone.
6 Enlarge my heart to make Thee room;
Enter, and in me ever stay:
The crooked then shall straight become,
The darkness shall be lost in day. Languages: English
God of my life, whose gracious power
Commit thou all thy griefs
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #377 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Commit thou all thy griefs
And ways into His hands,
To His sure truth and tender care,
Who heaven and earth commands--
2 Who points the clouds their course,
Whom winds and seas obey;
He shall direct thy wand'ring feet,
He shall prepare thy way.
3 Put thou thy trust in Go;
In duty's path go on;
Fix on His work thy steadfast eye;
So shall thy work be done.
4 No profit canst thou gain
By self-consuming care;
To Him commend thy cause; His ear
Attends thy softest prayer.
5 Leave to His sovereign sway
To choose and to command;
So shalt thou wondering own, His sway
How wise, how strong His hand.
Languages: English
Commit thou all thy griefs
O Thou, from whom all goodness flows
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #378 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 O Thou, from whom all goodness flows,
I lift my soul to Thee;
In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes,
O Lord, remember me!
2 When on my aching, burden'd heart
My sins lie heavily,
Thy pardon grant, new peace impart:
Then, Lord, remember me!
3 When trials sore obstruct my way,
And ills I cannot flee,
Oh, let my strength be as my day--
Dear Lord, remember me!
4 When in the solemn hour of death
I wait Thy just decree;
Be this the prayer of my last breath,
Now, Lord, remember me!
5 And when before Thy throne I stand,
And lift my soul to Thee,
Then with the saints at Thyright hand,
O Lord, remember me! Languages: English
O Thou, from whom all goodness flows
I love the Lord; He heard my cries
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #379 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 I love the Lord; He heard my cries,
And pitied ev'ry groan;
Long as I live, when troubles rise,
I'll hasten to His throne.
2 I love the Lord; He bow'd His ear,
And chased my griefs away:
Oh, let my heart no more despair,
While I have breath to pray.
3 Among the saints that fill Thy house,
My off'ring shall be paid;
There shall my zeal perform the vows
My soul in anguish made.
4 The Lord beheld me sore distrest:
He bade my pains remove:
Return, my soul, to God, thy rest,
For thou hast known His love. Languages: English
I love the Lord; He heard my cries
