Strengthen my willing feet! Hold me in service sweet Nearer, O Christ, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 3 Nearer, O Comforter, Nearer to Thee! Who with my loving Lord Dwellest with me! Grant me Thy fellowship! Help me each day to keep Nearer, my Guide, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4 But to be nearer still, Bring me, O God! Not by the visioned steeps Angels have trod. Here where Thy cross I see Jesus I wait for Thee, Then evermore to be Nearer to Thee! Languages: English

Thou very present Aid

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #486 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Cross and Comfort; The Cross and Comfort In Outward Suffering Lyrics: 1 Thou very present Aid In suffering and distress; The soul which still on Thee is stayed Is kept in perfect peace. 2 The soul by faith reclined On his Redeemer's breast, Midst raging storms exults to find An everlasting rest. 3 Sorrow and fear are gone, Whene'er Thy face appears; It still the sighing orphan's moan, And dries the widow's tears. 4 It hallows every cross; It sweetly comforts me; Makes me forget my every loss, And find my all in Thee. 5 Peace to the troubled heart, Health to the sin-sick mind; The wounded spirit's Balm Thou art, The Healer of mankind. 6 Jesus, to whom I fly, Doth all my wishes fill; In vain created streams are dry, In have the Fountain still. 7 Stript of my earthly friends, I fend them all in One; And peace, and joy that never ends, And heaven, in Christ alone.

Ah! God, my days are dark indeed

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #335 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 AH! GOD, my days are dark indeed, How oft this aching heart must bleed; The narrow way,--how filled with pain, That I must pass, ere heaven I gain! 2 How hard to teach this flesh and blood To seek alone th'eternal God! Ah! whither now for comfort turn? For Thee, my Jesus, do I yearn. 3 In Thee have I, howe'er distressed, Found ever counsel, aid, and rest! I can not all forsaken be, While still my heart can trust in Thee. 4 Thine office and Thy person show That Thou great miracles canst do: Miraculous was, Lord, Thy birth When Thou wert born a child on earth; 5 And by Thy death Thou mak'st me free So strangely from all misery. Jesus, my only God and Lord, What sweetness in Thy name is stored! 6 No grief can ever be so sore, But Thy sweet name can cheer me more; So keen no sorrow's rankling dart, But Thy sweet name can heal my heart. 7 Although my flesh and heart may fail, I'll heed it not, I shall not quail; My Saviour, if I have but Thee, I shall be blest eternally. 8 With heart and soul I'm Thine fore'er; Sin, death, and health I need not fear. The world can show no truth like Thine, And therefore will I not repine. 9 I know Thou wilt forsake me not, Thy truth is fixed, though dark my lot, Thou art my Shepherd, and Thy sheep From harm forever Thou wilt keep. 10 Jesus, my Boast, my Light, my Joy, The Treasure naught can e'er destroy, No words, no song that I can frame Speak half the sweetness of Thy name. 11 They only all its power shall prove Whose hearts have learnt Thy faith and love; How many a time I've sadly said, Far better were it I were dead; 12 Far better ne'er the light to see If I had not this joy in Thee; For he who hath not Thee in faith, His very life is merely death. 13 Jesus, my Bridegroom and my Crown, If Thou but smile, the world may frown: In Thee lie depths of joy untold, Far richer than her richest gold. 14 Whene'er I do but think of Thee, Thy dews drop down and solace me; Whene'er I hope in Thee, my Friend, Thy comfort and Thy peace descend. 15 Where'er in grief I pray and sing, I feel new courage in me spring; Thy Spirit witnesses that this Is fortaste of th'eternal bliss. 16 Therefore, while life remains in me, I'll bear Thy cross and follow Thee. Grant me a patient, willing mood; I know that it shall work my good. 17 Help me to do my task aright, That it may stand before Thy sight; Let me this flesh and blood control, From sin and shame preserve my soul. 18 O keep me steadfast in the faith, Then I am Thine in life and death; Jesus, my Comfort, bend to me, Ah, would I were e'en now with Thee!

And shall I seek in vain? And can the ear of sovereign grace Be deaf when I complain? 4 No, still the ear of sovereign grace Attends the mourner's prayer: O may I ever find access, To breathe my sorrows there!

When I can trust my all with God

Author: Josiah Conder Hymnal: Church Book #484 (1890) Topics: The Cross and Comfort; The Cross and Comfort In Outward Suffering Lyrics: 1 When I can trust my all with God, In trial's fearful hour, Bow, all resigned, beneath His rod, And bless His sparing power, A joy springs up amid distress, A fountain in the wilderness. 2 O, to be brought to Jesus' feet, Though sorrows fix me there, Is still a privilege; and sweet The energies of prayer, Though sighs and tears its language be, If Christ be nigh, and smile on me. 3 Then blesséd be the Hand that gave, Still blesséd when it takes: Blesséd be He who smites to save, Who heals the heart He breaks: Perfect and true are all His ways, Whom heaven adores and death obeys.
