"Faint, yet pursuing"

Author: John N. Darby Appears in 134 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:14 First Line: Though faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way Lyrics: 1 Though faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way; The Lord is our Leader, his word is our stay; Tho' suffering, and sorrow, and trial be near, The Lord is our Refuge, and whom can we fear? 2 He raiseth the fallen, he cheereth the faint; The weak, and oppressed--he will hear their complaint; The way may be weary, and thorny the road, But how can we falter?--our help is in God! 3 And to his green pastures our footsteps he leads; His flock in the desert how kindly he feeds! The lambs in his bosom he tenderly bears, And brings back the wanderers all safe from the snares. 4 Though clouds may surround us, our God is our light; Though storms rage around us, our God is our might; So, faint yet pursuing, still onward we come; The Lord is our Leader, and heaven is our home!

I sink in life's alarms when by myself I stand; imprison me within thine arms, and strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor until it master find; it has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind. It cannot freely move, till thou hast wrought its chain; enslave it with thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 3 My will is not my own till thou hast made it thine; if it would reach a monarch's throne, it must its crown resign; it only stands unbent amid the clashing strife, when on thy bosom it has leant, and found in thee its life.

His bursting from the spiced tomb, his riding up the heavenly way, his coming at the day of doom, I bind unto myself today. 3 I bind unto myself today the virtues of the starlit heaven, the glorious sun's life-giving ray, the whiteness of the moon at even, the flashing of the lightning free, the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks, the stable earth, the deep salt sea, around the old eternal rocks. 4 I bind unto myself today the power of God to hold and lead, his eye to watch, his might to stay, his ear to hearken to my need, the wisdom of my God to teach, his hand to guide, his shield to ward; the word of God to give me speech, his heavenly host to be my guard. 5 Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. 6 I bind unto myself the name, the strong name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three-in-One, and One-in-Three. of whom all nature hath creation, eternal Father, Spirit, Word. Praise to the Lord of my salvation, salvation is of Christ the Lord. Topics: Call and Vocation; Covenant; Ordination; Trinity Used With Tune: ST. PATRICK'S BREASTPLATE
