Thee Will I Love, My Strength, My Tower

Author: Johann Scheffler (1624-1677); John Wesley (1703-1791) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 167 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, my strength, my tower; thee will I love, my joy, my crown; thee will I love with all my power, in all thy works, and thee alone: thee will I love, till sacred fire fill my whole soul with pure desire. 2 I thank thee, uncreated Sun, that thy bright beams on me have shined; I thank thee, who hast overthrown my foes, and healed my wounded mind; I thank thee, whose enlivening voice bids my freed heart in thee rejoice. 3 Uphold me in the doubtful race, nor suffer me again to stray; strengthen my feet, with steady pace still to press forward in thy way; that all my powers, with all their might, in thy sole glory may unite. 4 Thee will I love, my joy, my crown; thee will I love, my Lord, my God; thee will I love, beneath thy frown or smile -- thy sceptre or thy rod; what though my flesh and heart decay, thee shall I love in endless day.

Be Still!

Author: Rev. C. A. Fox Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: "Stand still and see!" yea, see, today Lyrics: 1 “Stand still and see!” yea, see, today, New wonders of redeeming grace— The mighty Potter moulds the clay Again within this hallowed place, Till through the human, the Devine Is seen once more to more and shine. 2 Here “commune with thine heart, be still!” Search all the secret stores of years, Till silence, now unbearable,— Self, self-betrayed with blinding tears— Then fall at Jesu’s feet, and say, Thou can’st, Thou shalt, cleanse all today! 3 “Bes still, and know that I am God!” Peace, wounded conscience, heaving breast! Christ’s pierced hand bears alone the rod, His cloud transfigures and brings rest. Take, Lord, Thy power, reign, great I AM, O’ershadowing Guest, all-conquering Lamb! 4 Then in the hush of this fair Tent, And solemn stillness of this hour, Three thousand souls before Thee bent, Break forth, O Holy Ghost, in power— Sweep thro’, thou Wind of God, sweep thro’; Once more cleanse, consecrate, renew!

Give Me the Faith Which Can Remove

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals First Line: Give me, the faith which can remove Lyrics: 1. Give me the faith which can remove and sink the mountain to a plain; give me the childlike praying love, which longs to build thy house again; thy love, let it my heart o'er-power, and all my simple soul devour. 2. I would the precious time redeem, and longer live for this alone, to spend and to be spent for them who have not yet my Savior known; fully on these my mission prove, and only breathe, to breathe thy love. 3. My talents, gifts, and graces, Lord, into thy blessed hands receive; and let me live to preach thy word, and let me to thy glory live; my every sacred moment spend in publishing the sinner's Friend. 4. Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heart with boundless charity divine, so shall I all my strength exert, and love them with a zeal like thine, and lead them to thy open side, the sheep for whom the Shepherd died.

Jesus, Thy Boundless Love to Me

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76; J. Wesley, 1703-91 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 359 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; Unite my thankful heart with Thee And reign without a rival there. To Thee alone, dear Lord, I live; Myself to Thee, dear Lord, I give. 2 Oh, grant that nothing in my soul May dwell but Thy pure love alone! Oh, may Thy love possess me whole, My Joy, my Treasure, and my Crown! All coldness from my heart remove; My ev'ry act, word, thought, be love. 3 O Love, how cheering is Thy ray! All pain before Thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away Where'er Thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but Thee! 4 This love unwearied I pursue And dauntlessly to Thee aspire. Oh, may Thy love my hope renew, Burn in my soul like heav'nly fire! And day and night be all my care To guard this sacred treasure there. 5 Oh, draw me, Savior, e'er to Thee; So shall I run and never tire. With gracious words still comfort me; Be Thou my Hope, my sole Desire. Free me from ev'ry guilt and fear; No sin can harm if Thou art near. 6 Still let Thy love point out my way; What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me lest I go astray; Direct my work, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice and know that love is near! 7 In suffering be Thy love my peace, In weakness be Thy love my pow'r; And when the storms of life shall cease, O Jesus, in that final hour, Be Thou my Rod and Staff and Guide And draw me safely to Thy side!
