His are the thousand sparkling rills

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-1895 Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #180 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 His are the thousand sparkling rills That from a thousand fountains burst, And fill with music all the hills; And yet he saith, "I thirst." 2 All fiery pangs on battlefields, On fever beds where sick men toss, Are in that human cry he yields To anguish on the cross. 3 But more than pains that racked him then Was the deep longing thirst divine That thirsted for the souls of men; Dear Lord! and one was mine. 4 O Love most patient, give me grace; Make all my soul athirst for thee; That parched dry lip, that fading face, That thirst, were all for me. Amen. Scripture: John 19:28 Languages: English Tune Title: ELMHURST

O Lord of Hosts, how lovely

Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #305 (1961) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 O Lord of Hosts, how lovely the place where thou dost dwell! Thy tabernacles holy in pleasantness excel. My soul is longing, fainting, Jehovah's courts to see; My heart and flesh are crying, O living God, for thee. 2 Blest who thy house inhabit, they ever give thee praise; Blest all whom thou dost strengthen, who love the sacred ways. So they from strength unwearied go forward unto strength, Till they appear in Zion before the Lord at length. 3 O hear, Lord God of Jacob, to me an answer yield; The face of thine Anointed, behold, O God, our shield. One day excels a thousand if spent thy courts within; I'll choose thy threshold, rather than dwell in tents of sin. 4 Our sun and shield, Jehovah, will grace and glory give; No good will he deny them that uprightly do live. O God of Hosts, Jehovah, how blest is ev'ry one Who confidence reposes on thee, O Lord, alone. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

As pants the hart for cooling streams

Thou dost reign on high

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #170 (1961) Meter: Irregular Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 Thou didst reign on high With a kingly crown, Yet thou camest to earth for me, And in Bethlehem's home Was there found no room For thy holy nativity: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang When the angels sang, Proclaiming thy royal degree; But of lowly birth Didst thou come to earth, And in great humility: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 3 The foxes found rest, And the birds their nest, In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, With the living word That should set thy people free; But with mocking scorn, And with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 5 When heav'n's arches shall ring, And her choirs shall sing, At thy coming to victory, Let thy voice call me home, Saying "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee." And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When thou comest and callest for me. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 8:20 Languages: English Tune Title: MARGARET

O Thou That Hear'st When Sinners Cry

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #176 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 O thou that hear'st when sinners cry, though all my crimes before thee lie, behold them not with angry look, but blot their memory from thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, and form my soul averse to sin; let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, nor hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, cast out and banish from thy sight; thy holy joys, my God, restore, and guard me, that I fall no more. 4 A broken heart, my God, my King, is all the sacrifice I bring; the God of grace will ne'er despise a broken heart for sacrifice. 5 My soul lies humbled in the dust, and owns thy dreadful sentence just: look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, and save the soul condemned to die. 6 Then will I teach the world thy ways; sinners shall learn thy sov'reign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, and they shall praise a pard'ning God. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English Tune Title: HERR JESU CHRIST DICH ZU UNS WEND
