In weariness and pain

Thy sorrow, Lord, is my relief, Thy life hath ransom'd mine. 4 Oh, may I rise with Thee, And soar to things above, And spend a blest eternity In praise of dying Love.

God is my soul’s eternal rock, The strength of ev'ry saint.

Rise, my soul! and stretch thy wings

Appears in 813 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul! and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things, Toward heaven, thy native place: Sun and moon, and stars decay, Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun,-- Both speed them to their source: To a soul that's born of God, Pants to view His glorious face, Upward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace. 3 Cease, ye pilgrims! cease to mourn, Press onward to the prize; Soon your Saviour will return Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and you know Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below, And earth exchanged for heaven.

Inspire our breasts, our souls possess; Repel each passion rude and wild, And bless us as we aim to bless.

I look to Jesus, and the face

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 I look to Jesus, and the face Of God is turn'd on me in love, I feel a Father's fond embrace, And all my doubts and fears remove. 2 I look to Jesus, and behold! My heart is lighten'd of its cares, My love for earthly things grows cold, And pleasure vainly spreads her snares. 3 I look to Jesus, and the sight Of all that He endured for me, Makes e'en my greatest sufferings light, Compared with His deep agony. 4 I look to Jesus when my zeal And faith and love grow dead and cold; Then doth He Calvary reveal, And makes me in His service bold. 5 Thus let me, Lord, while life doth last, In faith look ever up to Thee, And when life's sinful days are past I shall Thy face in glory see.
