Jesus, Refuge of the Weary

Author: Jane F. Wilde; Girolamo Savonarola, 1452-98 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Jesus, refuge of the weary, Blest redeemer, whom we love, Fountain in life's desert dreary, Savior from the world above: Often have your eyes, offended, Gazed upon the sinner's fall; Yet upon the cross extended, You have borne the pain of all. 2 Do we pass that cross unheeding, Breathing no repentant vow, Though we see you wounded, bleeding, See your thorn-encircled brow? Yet your sinless death has brought us Life eternal, peace, and rest; Only what your grace has taught us Calms the sinner's deep distress. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning With more fervent love for you; May our eyes be ever turning To behold your cross anew Till in glory, parted never From the blessed Savior's side, Graven in our hearts forever, Dwell the cross, the Crucified.

In heavenly love abiding

Author: Anna Laetitia Waring, 1820 - 1910 Appears in 596 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding, No change my heart shall fear; And safe is such confiding, For nothing changes here: The storm may roar without me, My heart may low be laid, But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 2 Wherever he may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim, He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him. 3 Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, The path to life is free; My Saviour has my treasure, And he will walk with me. Used With Tune: NYLAND

The better portion

Author: Robert Seagrave Appears in 813 hymnals Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings 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: So 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 our 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.

How many are against me, Lord

Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Rest Lyrics: 1 How many are against me, Lord: how many fierce attacks rise up! They say, "God will not come to help," and people taunt, "There is no hope." 2 But you are round me, Lord, my shield, but you, my glory, lift my head! You hear me from your holy hill and answer when I cry aloud. 3 I go to rest, and sleep in peace– I wake again; God keeps me safe: ten thousand shall not make me fear, for all their threats to take my life. 4 Arise, O Lord, to rescue me: arise and save me, O my God! You silence all my enemies till scorn and spite are all destroyed. Scripture: Psalm 3 Used With Tune: ADON OLAM
