All as God Wills

Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals First Line: All as God wills, who wisely heeds Lyrics: 1. All as God wills, who wisely heeds To give or to withhold, And knoweth more of all my needs, Than all my prayers have told. 2. Enough that blessings undeserved Have marked my erring track; That, wheresoe’er my feet have swerved, His chastening turned me back. 3. That more and more a providence Of love is understood, Making the springs of time and sense Sweet with eternal good. 4. That death seems but a covered way Which opens into light, Wherein no blinded child can stray Beyond the Father’s sight. 5. And so the shadows fall apart. And so the west winds play; And all the windows of my heart I open to the day. Used With Tune: STRACATHRO Text Sources: From his poem "My Psalm", in The Panorama, and Other Poems, 1856.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my God, most earnestly My heart would seek Thy face, Within Thy holy house once more To see Thy glorious grace. 2 Apart from Thee I long and thirst, And nought can satisfy; I wander in a desert land Where all the streams are dry. 3 The loving kindness of my God Is more than life to me; So I will bless Thee while I live And lift my prayer to Thee. 4 In Thee my soul is satisfied, My darkness turns to light, And joyful meditations fill The watches of the night. 5 My Saviour, 'neath Thy sheltering wings My soul delights to dwell; Still closer to Thy side I press, For near Thee all is well. Amen.

There is a fountain opened wide

Author: W. Cowper (1731-1800) Appears in 2,597 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain opened wide where life and hope begin; for Christ the Lord was crucified to cleanse us from our sin. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day; and there have I, as vile as he, washed all my sins away. 3 O Lamb of God, your precious blood shall never lose its power, till all the ransomed church of God be saved to sin no more. 4 And since, by faith, I saw the stream your flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die. 6 When this poor, lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave, then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing your power to save.
