"We would see Jesus"

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #409 (1890) Topics: Christians Love for Christ; Christians Love for Christ First Line: We would see Jesus for the shadows lengthen Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness the final strife. 2 We would see Jesus the great Rock Foundation, Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace; Not life, nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see his face. 3 We would see Jesus other lights are paling. Which for long years we have rejoiced to see; The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing, We would not mourn them, for we go to thee. 4 We would see Jesus this is all we're needing, Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading, Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night!

"A little while"

Author: Mrs. Jane Crewdson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #410 (1890) Topics: Christians Love for Christ; Christians Love for Christ First Line: Oh, for the peace which floweth like a river Lyrics: 1 Oh, for the peace which floweth like a river, Making life's desert places bloom and smile! Oh, for the faith to grasp heaven's bright "for ever," Amid the shadows of earth's "little while!" 2 A little while for patient vigil-keeping, To face the storm, to battle with the strong; A little while to sow the seed with weeping, Then bind the sheaves and sing the harvest song! 3 A little while to keep the oil from failing, A little while faith's flickering lamp to trim; And then, the Bridegroom's coming footsteps hailing, To haste to meet him with the bridal hymn! 4 And he who is himself the gift and giver, The future glory and the present smile, With the bright promise of the glad "for ever" Will light the shadows of the "little while!"

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #405 (1890) Topics: Christians Love for Christ; Christians Love for Christ First Line: Dear Refuge of my weary soul Lyrics: 1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul, On thee, when sorrows rise, On thee, when waves of trouble roll, MY fainting hope relies. 2 To thee I tell each rising grief, For thou alone canst heal; Thy word can bring a sweet relief For every pain I feel. 3 But, oh, when gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call thee mine; The springs of comfort seem to fail, And all my hopes decline. 4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to thee, Though prostrate in the dust. 5 Thy mercy-seat is open still, Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend thy will, And wait beneath thy feet.
