'Tis Midnight; and on Olive's Brow

Author: William B. Tappan Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 685 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow the star is dimmed that lately shone: 'tis midnight; in the garden now the suff'ring Savior prays alone. 2 'Tis midnight; and, from all removed, Emmanuel wrestles lone with fears: e'en the disciple that he loved heeds not his master's grief and tears. 3 'Tis midnight; and, for others' guilt, the Man of Sorrows weeps in blood: yet he that hath in anguish knelt is not forsaken by his God. 4 'Tis midnight; from the heav'nly plains is borne the song that angels know: unheard by mortals are the strains that sweetly soothe the Savior's woe.

Away From Earth My Spirit Turns

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Away from earth my spirit turns— Away from every transient good; With strong desire my bosom burns To feast on Heav’n’s diviner food. 2 Thou Savior, art the living bread, Thou wilt my every want supply; By Thee sustained, and cheered, and led, I’ll press thro’ dangers to the sky. 3 What tho’ temptations oft distress, And sin assails and breaks my peace; Thou wilt uphold, and save, and bless, And bid the storms of passion cease. 4 Then let me take Thy gracious hand, And walk beside Thee onward still; Till my glad feet shall safely stand, Forever firm, on Zion’s hill.

Thou only Sovereign of my heart

Appears in 223 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou only Sovereign of my heart, My Refuge, my almighty Friend-- And can my soul from thee depart, On whom alone my hopes depend! 2 Eternal life thy words impart; On these my fainting spirit lives; Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart, Than all the round of nature gives. 3 Thy name my inmost powers adore; Thou art my life, my joy, my care; Depart from thee--'tis death, 'tis more; 'Tis endless ruin, deep despair! 4 Low at thy feet my soul would lie; Here safety dwells, and peace divine; Still let me live beneath thine eye, For life, eternal life, is thine.
