O This Soul, How Dark And Blind

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O this soul, how dark and blind; O this foolish, earthly mind; Ever froward selfish will, Which refuses to be still! 2 O these ever roaming eyes, Upward that refuse to rise; These still wayward feet of mine, Found in every path but Thine! 3 O these pulses felt within, Beating for the world and sin; Sending round the fevered blood, In a fierce and carnal flood! 4 O this stubborn prayerless knee, Hands so solemn clasped to Thee, Longings of the soul that go, Like the wild wind to and fro. 5 To and fro without an aim, Turning idly whence they came, Bringing in no joy, no bliss— Adding to my weariness! 6 Giver of the heav’nly peace, Bid, O bid, these tumults cease; Minister Thy holy balm, Fill me with Thy Spirit’s calm. 7 Thou the life, the truth, the way, Leave me not in sin to stay; Bearer of the sinner’s guilt, Lead me, lead me, as Thou wilt.

In the Morning I Will Raise

Author: William H. Furness Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In the morning I will raise To my God the voice of praise; With His kind protection blest, Sweet and deep has been my rest. 2. In the morning I will pray For His blessing on the day; What this day shall be my lot, Light or darkness, I know not. 3. Should it be with clouds o’ercast, Clouds of sorrow gathering fast, Thou, who givest light divine, Shine with me, Lord, O shine. 4. Show me, if I tempted be, How to find all strength in Thee, And a perfect triumph win Over every bosom sin. 5. Keep my feet from secret snares, Keep my eyes, O God, from tears, Every step Thy grace attend, And my soul from death defend. 6. Then when fall the shades of night, All within shall still be light; Thou wilt peace around diffuse, Gently as the evening dews.
