Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 260 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my best desire fulfil, And help me to resign Life, health, and comfort to Thy will, And make Thy pleasure mine. 2 Why should I shrink at Thy command, Whose love forbids my fears? Or tremble at the gracious hand That wipes away my tears? 3 No, let me rather freely yield What most I prize to Thee, Who never hast a good withheld, Or wilt withhold from me. 4 Thy favor, all my journey through Thou art engaged to grant: What else I want, or think I do, 'Tis better still to want.

Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 796 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow way, till Him I view. 2 The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads from banishment; The King's highway of holiness, I'll go; for all His paths are peace. 3 This is the way I long have sought, And mourn'd because I found it not; My grief a burden long has been, That I was not released from sin. 4 The more I strove against its power, I sinn'd and stumbled but the more; 'Till late I heard my Saviour say, "Come hither, soul; I am the way." 5 Lo, glad I come, and Thou, dear Lamb, Shalt take me to Thee as I am: Nothing but sin I Thee can give, Nothing but love do I receive.

How do Thy mercies close me round!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 How do Thy mercies close me round! For ever be Thy name adored; I blush in all things to abound; The servant is above his Lord! 2 Inured to poverty and pain, A suff'ring life my Master led: The Son of God, the Son of man, He had not where to lay His head. 3 But lo! a place He hath prepared For me, whom watchful angels keep; Yea, He himself becomes my guard; He smooths my bed and gives me sleep. 4 Jesus protects; my fears, begone: What can the Rock of Ages move? Safe in Thine arms I lay me down, Thine everlasting arms of love. 5 I rest beneath th'Almighty's shade, My griefs expire, my troubles cease; Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stay'd, Wilt keep me still in perfect peace. 6 Me for Thine own Thou lov'st to take In time and in eternity; Thou never, never wilt forsake A helpless worm that trusts in Thee.

'Tis a point I long to know

Appears in 280 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 'Tis a point I long to know, Oft it causes anxious thought, Do I love the Lord, or no? Am I His, or am I not? 2 When I turn mine eyes within, All is dark, and vain, and wild: Fill'd with unbelief and sin, Can I deem myself a child? 3 Lord, decide the doubtful case! Thou who art Thy people's sun, Since upon Thy work of grace, If it be indeed begun. 4 Let me love Thee more and more, If I love at all, I pray: If I have not loved before, Help me to begin to-day.

Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Appears in 164 hymnals Topics: Christian Experience and Devotion Hope and Courage Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory, On thy people pour thy power; Crown Thin ancient church's story; Bring her bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage for the facing of this hour. 2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us Scorn thy Christ, assail His ways! From the fears that long have bound us Free our hearts to faith and praise. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage for the living of these days. 3 Cure thy children's warring madness, Bend our pride to thy control. Shame our wanton, selfish gladness, Rich in things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage lest we miss Thy kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; Gird our lives that they may be Armored with all Christ-like graces In the fight to set men free. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage that we fail not man nor Thee. Used With Tune: MANNHEIM

One Day Nearer Home

Appears in 93 hymnals Topics: Christian Experience First Line: O'er the hills the sun is setting Refrain First Line: Nearer, nearer Lyrics: 1 O’er the hills the sun is setting, And the eve is drawing on; Slowly drops the gentle twilight, For another day is gone. Gone for aye—its race is over; Soon the darker shades will come; Still ‘tis sweet to know at evening That we’re one day nearer home. Chorus: Nearer, nearer, One day nearer home; Nearer, nearer, One day nearer home. 2 Worn and weary, oft the pilgrim Hails the setting of the sun, For the goal is one day nearer, And his journey nearly done; Thus we feel when o’er the life’s desert Heart and sandal-sore we roam; As the twilight gathers o’er us, We are one day nearer home. [Chorus] 3 Nearer home! yes, one day nearer To our Father’s house on high, To the green fields and the fountains Of the land beyond the sky; For the heavens grow brighter o’er us, And the lamps hand in the dome, And our tents are pitched still closer, For we’re one day nearer home. [Chorus] 4 “One day nearer,” sings the mar’ner, As he glides the water o’er, While the light is softly dying On his distant native shore; Thus the Christian on life’s ocean, As his life-boat cuts the foam, In the evening cries with rapture, “I am one day nearer home.” [Chorus] Used With Tune: [O'er the hills the sun is setting]
