O I Want to See Him

Author: R.H. Cornelius Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Christ Light First Line: As I journey thro' the land singing as I go Refrain First Line: O I want to see Him, look upon His face Lyrics: 1 As I journey thro' the land, singing as I go Pointing souls to Calvary, to the crimson flow, Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within; But my Lord leads me on, thro' Him I must win. Refrain: O I want to see Him, look upon His face, There to sing forever of His saving grace; On the streets of Glory let me lift my voice; Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice. 2 When in service for my Lord dark may be the night, But I'll cling more close to Him, He will give me light; Satan's snares may vex my soul, turn my tho'ts aside; But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate'er betide. [Refrain] 3 When in valleys low I look t'ward the mountain height, And behold my Saviour there, leading in the fight, With a tender hand outstretched t'ward the valley low, Guiding me, I can see, as I onward go. [Refrain] 4 When before me billows rise from the mighty deep, Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep, And He leads me gently on thro' this world below; He's a real Friend to me, O I love Him so. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [As I journey thro' the land singing as I go]

Amidst a world of hopes and fears

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: Light Given by the Holy Spirit Lyrics: 1 Amidst a world of hopes and fears, A world of cares, and toils, and tears, Where foes alarm and dangers threat, And pleasures kill, and glories cheat: 2 Send down, O Lord, a heavenly ray, To guide me in the doubtful way; And o'er me hold Thy shield of power, To guard me in the dang'rous hour. 3 May never pleasure, wealth, or pride, Allure my wand'ring soul aside; But through this maze of mortal ill, Safe lead me to Thy heavenly hill. 4 There glories shine, and pleasures roll, That charm, delight, transport the soul, And ev'ry longing wish shall be Possess'd of boundless bliss in Thee.

Our Christ hath reached his heavenly seat

Author: Frothingham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: The Lamb is the Light thereof Lyrics: 1 Our Christ hath reached his heavenly seat, Through sorrows and through scars; The golden lamps are at his feet, And in his hand the stars. 2 O God of life, and truth, and grace, Ere nature was begun! Make welcome to our erring race Thy Spirit and thy Son. 3 We hail the church, built high o'er all The heathen's rage and scoff; Thy providence its fenced wall, The Lamb the light thereof. 4 Oh, may he walk among us here, With his rebuke and love-- A brightness o'er this lower sphere, A ray from worlds above!
Our Christ hath reached his heavenly seat
