How tedious and tasteless the hours

Meter: Irregular Appears in 660 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Communion with Christ, and love to him Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours, When Jesus no longer I see; Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers, Have all lost their sweetness with me. The mid-summer's sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in him, December's as pleasant as May. 2 His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music his voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice. I should, were he always so nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I, My summer would last all the year. 3 Content with beholding his face, My all to his pleasure resign'd; No changes of seasons or place, Would make any change in my mind: While bless'd with the sense of his love, A palace a toy would appear; And prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. 4 Dear Lord, if indeed I am thine, If thou art my sun and my song; Say, why do I languish and pine, And why are my winter so long? O drive those dark clouds from my sky, Thy soul-cheering presence restore; Or take me unto thee on high, Where winter and clouds are no more. Scripture: Psalm 73:25

I Samuel 3:10

Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 63 hymnals Topics: Love, and Communion With Christ First Line: Master, speak! thy servant heareth Lyrics: 1 Master, speak! thy servant heareth, Longing for thy gracious word, Longing for thy voice that cheereth; Master, let it now be heard. I am listening, Lord, for thee; What hast thou to say to me? 2 Often through my heart is pealing Many another voice than thine; Many an unwilled echo stealing From the walls of this thy shrine. Let thy longed-for accents fall; Master, speak! and silence all. 3 Master, speak! I do not doubt thee, Though so tearfully I plead; Saviour, Shepherd! oh, without thee Life would be a blank indeed. But I long for fuller light, Deeper love and clearer sight. 4 Speak to me by name, O Master, Let me know it is to me; Speak, that I may follow faster, With a step more firm and free, Where the Shepherd leads the flock, In the shadow of the rock!

Amen. Used With Tune: WINCHESTER

Al buen prado, a apacentarnos, Nos llevaste con tu amor; Para ser de tu rebaño Nos guiaste, buen Pastor. 3 La voz tuya conocemos Cuando llamas, ¡oh Pastor! Tú nos das los pastos verdes Y nos guardas con amor; En tu seno reclinados Reposamos, buen Pastor. 4 Las ovejas en tu mano Nada temen, buen Pastor; En tu aprisco las abrigas, Las defiendes con amor. Sólo en Ti nos refugiamos, ¡Oh Jesús, oh buen Pastor! Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE
