To see thy lovely face,
To dwell whole ages in thy sight,
And feel thy vital rays.
2 This Gabriel knows; and sings thy name
With raptures on his tongue;
Moses the saint enjoys the same,
And heaven repeats the song.
3 While the bright nation sounds thy praise
From each eternal hill,
Sweet odours of exhaling grace
The happy region fill.
4 Thy love, a sea without a shore,
Spreads life and joy abroad;
O 'tis a heaven worth dying for,
To see a smiling God.
5 Sweet was the journey to the sky
And wondrous prophet try'd;
"Climb up the mount," says God, "and die,"
The prophet climb'd and died.
6 Softly his fainting head he lay
Upon his maker's breast;
His maker kiss'd his soul away,
And laid his flesh to rest.
7 Shew me thy face, and I'll away
From all inferior things;
Speak, Lord, and here I quit my clay,
And stretch my airy wings.

Whom men foretold, by heaven inspir'd,
And raptur'd saw the blissful day
Rise o'er the world with healing ray.
3 Oft, in the temples of his grace
His saints behold his smiling face:
And oft have seen his glory shine,
With power and majesty divine:
4 But soon, alas! his absence mourn,
And pray and wish his kind return;
Without his life-inspiring light,
'Tis all a scene of gloomy night.
5 Come, dearest Lord, thy children cry,
Our graces droop, our comforts die;
Return, and let thy glories rise
Again to our admiring eyes;
6 'Till fill'd with light, and joy, and love,
Thy courts below, like those above,
Triumphant hallelujahs raise,
And heaven and earth resound thy praise.

How full of Anguish is the Thought?
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.C (1766) Topics: Absence and Presence of God; Desire of Christ's Presence Lyrics: [1 How full of Anguish is the Thought?
How it distracts and tears my Heart?
If God, at last, my sov'reign Judge,
Should frown, and bid my Soul, Depart.]
2 Lord, when I quit this earthly Stage,
Where shall I fly but to thy Breast?
For I have sought no other Home;
For I have learnt no other Rest.
3 I cannot live contented here,
Without some Glimpses of thy Face;
And Heav'n, without thy Presence there,
Would be a dark and tiresome Place.
4 When earthly Cares engross the Day,
And hold my Thoughts aside from Thee,
The shining Hours of chearful Light
Are long and tedious Years to me.
5 And if no Ev'ning Visit's paid
Between my Saviour and my Soul,
How dull the Might! how sad the Shade!
How mournfully the Minutes roll!
6 This Flesh of mine might learn as soon
To live, yet part with all my Blood;
To breathe when vital Air is gone,
Or thrive and grow without my Food.
[7 Christ is my Light, my Love, my Care,
My blessed Hope, my heav'nly Prize;
Dearer than all my Passions are,
My Limbs, my Bowels, or my Eyes.]
[8 The Strings that twine about my Heart,
Tortures and Racks may tear them off;
But they can never, never part
With their dear Hold of Christ my Love.]
[9 My God! and can an humble Child,
That loves Thee with a Flame so high,
Be ever from thy Face exil'd,
Without the Pity of thine Eye?
10 Impossible - For thine own Hands
Have tied my Heart so fast to Thee;
And in thy Book the Promise stands,
That where thou art thy Friends must be.] Languages: English

Disheartened by its load,
Shamed by its failures or its fears,
I sink beside the road;
But let me only think of Thee
And then new heart springs up in me.
3 Thy calmness bends serene above,
My restlessness to still;
Around me flows Thy quickening life,
To nerve my faltering will:
Thy presence fills my solitude;
Thy providence turns all to good.

Held in Thy law, I stand;
Thy hand in all things I behold,
And all things in Thy hand;
Thou leadest me by unsought ways,
And turn'st my mourning into praise.

Come Now, and Lift Up Your Hearts
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
Author: Francis Rous Hymnal: The Hymnal #97 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: God the Father His Abiding Presence; God Presence, His Abiding Lyrics: 1 The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want;
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
2 My soul He doth restore again;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for His own Name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear none ill;
For Thou art with me; and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
4 My table Thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 23 Tune Title: EVAN
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
