Holy Father, Thou hast taught me

Author: John M. Neale Appears in 179 hymnals Topics: Constancy Lyrics: 1 Holy Father, Thou hast taught me I should live to Thee alone; Year by year, Thy hand hath brought me On through dangers oft unknown. When I wandered, Thou hast found me; When I doubted, sent me light; Still Thine arm has been around me, All my paths were in Thy sight. 2 In the world will foes assail me, Craftier, stronger far than I; And the strife may never fail me, Well I know, before I die. Therefore, Lord, I come, believing Thou canst give the power I need; Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength--the Spirit’s strength, indeed. 3 I would trust in Thy protecting, Wholly rest upon Thine arm; Follow wholly Thy directing, Thou, mine only guard from harm. Keep me from mine own undoing, Help me turn to Thee when tried; Still my footsteps, Father, viewing, Keep me ever at Thy side. Amen. Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE

Matthew 6:25-34

Appears in 411 hymnals Topics: Constancy; Constancy; Constancy First Line: Sometimes a light surprises Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord who rises With healing in his wings: When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue The theme of God's salvation, And find it ever new: Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown to-morrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing, But he will bring us through; Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe his people too: Beneath the spreading heavens, No creature but is fed; And he who feeds the ravens, Will give his children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither, Their wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks, nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice, For while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

"Abide in me"

Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Constancy; Constancy; Constancy First Line: Why is thy faith, O child of God, so small? Lyrics: 1 Why is thy faith, O child of God, so small? Why doth thy heart shrink back at duty's call? Art thou obeying this--"Abide in me," And doth the Master's word abide in thee? 2 Oh, blest assurance from our risen Lord! Oh, precious comfort breathing from the Word! How great the promise! could these greater be? "Ask what thou wilt, it shall be done for thee!" 3 "Ask what thou wilt," but oh, remember this,-- We ask and have not, for we ask amiss When, weak in faith, we only half believe That what we ask we really shall receive. 4 Increase our faith, and clear our vision, Lord; Help us to take thee at thy simple word, No more with cold distrust to bring thee grief; Lord, we believe! help thou our unbelief.

Thinking of Jesus

Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Constancy; Constancy; Constancy First Line: I journey through a desert drear and wild Lyrics: 1 I journey through a desert drear and wild, Yet is my heart by such sweet thoughts beguiled Of Him on whom I lean, my strength, my stay, I can forget the sorrows of the day. 2 Thoughts of his love--the root of every grace Which finds in this poor heart a dwelling-place; The sunshine of my soul, than day more bright, And my calm pillow of repose by night. 3 Thoughts of his sojourn in this vale of tears-- The tale of love unfolded in those years Of sinless suffering and patient grace, I love again, and yet again, to trace. 4 Thoughts of his glory--on the cross I gaze, And there behold its sad yet healing rays: Beacon of hope, which, lifted up on high, Illumes with heavenly light the tear-dimmed eye.
