My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Appears in 638 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Oh, may Thy will be mine! Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign. Through sorrow or through joy Conduct me as Thine own, And help me still to say, My Lord, Thy will be done! 2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear; Since Thou on earth hast wept And sorrow'd oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done! 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me;: Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee: Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, My Lord, Thy will be done!

Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Jesus, cast a look on me! Give me true simplicity; Make me poor and keep me low, Seeking only Thee to know. 2 All that feeds my busy pride, Cast it evermore aside: Bid my will to Thine submit, Lay me humbly at Thy feet! 3 Make me like a little child, Simple, teachable, and mild; Seeing only in Thy light, Walking only in Thy might! 4 Leaning on Thy loving breast, Where a weary soul may rest; Feeling well the peace of God Flowing from Thy precious blood!

We journey through a vale of tears

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 We journey through a vale of tears, By many a cloud o’ercast; And worldly cares, and worldly fears, Go with us to the last. 2 Not to the last! Thy Word hath said, Could we but read aright-- Poor pilgrim, lift in hope thy head; At eve there shall be light! 3 Only believe, in living faith, His love and power divine; And ere thy sun shall set in death, His light shall round thee shine. 4 When tempest-clouds are dark on high, His bow of love and peace Shines sweetly in the vaulted sky,-- A pledge that storms shall cease. 5 Hold on thy way, with hope unchill'd, By faith and not by sight, And thou shalt own His Word fulfill'd,-- At eve it shall be light.

And let this feeble body fail

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 358 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it faint and die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long-sought rest, That only bliss for which it pants In the Redeemer's breast. 2 In hope of that immortal crown, I now the cross sustain, And gladly wonder up and down, And smile at toil and pain. I suffer on my threescore years Till my deliverer come, And wipe away his servant's tears, And take his exile home. 3 Oh, what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravish'd eyes Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise! I see a world of spirits bright Who taste the pleasures there! They all are robed in spotless white, And conq'ring palms they bear. 4 Oh, what are all my suff'rings here If, Lord, Thou count me meet, With that enraptured host t'appear, And worship at Thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away: But let me find them all again In that eternal day.

Thy way, not mine, O Lord

Appears in 406 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Thy way, not mine, O Lord, However dark it be! Lead me by Thine own hand; Choose out the path for me. 2 Smooth let it be, or rough, It still will be the best; Winding or straight, it leads Right onward to Thy rest. 3 I dare not choose my lot: I would not, if I might; Choose Thou for me, my God, So shall I walk aright. 4 The kingdom that I seek Is Thine: so let the way That leads to it be Thine, Else I must surely stray. 5 Choose Thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose Thou my cares for me, My poverty or wealth. 6 Not mine, not mine the choice, In things or great or small; Be Thou my Guide, my Strength, My Wisdom, and my All.

O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 155 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more! The light of His countenance shineth so bright, That here, as in heaven, there need be no night. 2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear; I tremble no more when I see Jesus near; I know that His presence my safeguard will be, For, "Why are you troubled?" He saith unto me. 3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found, When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round: They bear me away in His presence to be: I see Him still nearer whom always I see. 4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face; I shall know how His love went before me each day, And wonder that ever my eyes turn'd away.

Lord, it belongs not to my care

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 267 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share, And this Thy grace must give. 2 If life be long, I will be glad That I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad To soar to endless day? 3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before; No one into His kingdom comes, But through His open'd door. 4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet Thy blesséd face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be! 5 Then I shall end my sad complaints, And weary, sinful days, And join with all triumphant saints Who sing my Jehovah's praise. 6 My knowledge of that life is small; The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with Him.
