Jesus, refuge of the weary

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Resignation Lyrics: 1 Jesus, refuge of the weary, Object of the Spirit's love, Fountain in life's desert dreary, Saviour from the world above: 2 O how oft Thine eyes, offended, Gazed upon the sinner's fall! Yet, upon the cross extended, Thou didst bear the pain of all. 3 Do we pass that cross unheeding, Breathing no repentant vow, Though we see Thee wounded, bleeding, See Thy thorn-encircled brow? 4 Yet Thy sinless death has brought us Life eternal, peace, and rest; Only what Thy grace has taught us Calms the sinner's stormy breast. 5 Jesus, may our hearts be burning With more fervent love for Thee; May our eyes be ever turning To Thy cross of agony; 6 Till in glory, parted never From the blessed Saviour's side, Graven in our hearts for ever, Dwell the cross, the Crucified. Used With Tune: LONGING FOR HEAVEN

Who cannot do but what is just, And must be righteous still. 3 It is the Lord — who gives me all My wealth, my friends, my ease; And of his bounties may recall Whatever part he please. 4 It is the Lord — who can sustain Beneath the heaviest load, From whom assistance I obtain To tread the thorny road. 5 It is the Lord — whose matchless skill Can from afflictions raise Matter eternity to fill With ever-growing praise. 6 It is the Lord — my cov'nant God, Thrice blessed be his name! Whose gracious promise, seal'd with blood, Must ever be the same. 7 His cov'nant will my soul defend, Should nature's self expire: And the great judge of all descend In awful flames of fire. 8 And can my soul with hopes like these, Be sullen, or repine? No, gracious God, take what thou please, I'll cheerfully resign. Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:18

Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Resignation First Line: Pain's furnace-heat within me quivers Refrain First Line: And yet I whisper, "As God will" Lyrics: 1 Pain’s furnace-heat within me quivers, God’s breath upon the flame doth blow, And all my heart in anguish shivers And trembles at the fiery glow. Refrain: And yet I whisper, “As God will,” And in his hottest fire hold still. And yet I whisper, “As God will,” And in his hottest fire hold still. 2 He comes and lays my heart all heated, On his hard anvil, minded so; Yet in his own fair form to beat it With his great hammer, blow by blow. [Refrain] 3 He takes my softened heart and beats it; The sparks fly off at every blow; He turns it o’er and o’er and heats it, And lets it cool, and makes it glow. [Refrain] 4 He kindles for my profit, purely, Affliction’s glowing, fiery brand; For all his heaviest blows are surely Inflicted by a Master hand. [Refrain] 5 I will not murmur at the sorrow That only longer-lived would be; Then end may come, and that tomorrow, When God hath wrought his will in me. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Pain's furnace-heat within me quivers]

I ask not, Lord, for less to bear

Author: Annie R. Smith Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 I ask not, Lord, for less to bear Here in the narrow way, But that I may thy blessing share In all I do or say, In all I do or say. 2 Through whatsoe'er my path shall lie, With patience may I run; With filial trust my heart reply, "Thy will, O God, be done." 3 With thee to lead, I will not fear In scenes with dangers rife, While still thy cheering voice I hear, "I am the Way, the Life." 4 Thou art the refuge of my soul, My hope when comforts flee, My strength while life's rough billows roll, My joy eternally. 5 Then help me to improve with care, These precious moments given; For they a faithful record bear, Of good or ill, to Heaven. 6 And in thine arms of love enfold Me from the tempter's snare; And in the book of life enrolled, Be my name written there.
