O Zion, when I think of thee
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #341 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 O Zion, when I think of thee,
I wish for pinions like a dove,
And mourn to think that I should be
So distant from the place I love.
2 An exile here, and far from home,
For Zion's sacred walls I sigh;
Thither the ransom'd nations come,
And see the Saviour eye to eye.
3 While here I walk on hostile ground,
The few that I can call my friends,
Are like myself, with fetters bound,
And weariness our steps attends.
4 But yet we shall behold the day
When Zion's children shall return,
Our sorrows then shall flee away,
And we shall never, never mourn.
5 The hope that such a day will come
Makes ev'n the exile's portion sweet;
Though now we wander far from home,
In Zion soon we all shall meet. Languages: English
O Zion, when I think of thee
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #345 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for every one,
And there's a cross for me.
2 How happy are the saints above,
Who once went sorrowing here;
But now they taste unmingled love,
And joy without a tear.
3 The consecrated cross I'll bear,
Till death shall set me free,
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
4 Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' piercéd feet,
Joyful I'll cast my golden crown,
And His dear name repeat.
Languages: English
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #359 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss,
And saves me from its snares;
Its aid in ev'ry duty brings,
And softens all my cares;
2 Extinguishes the thirst of sin,
And lights the sacred fire
Of love to God and heavenly things,
And feeds the pure desire.
3 The wounded conscience know its power
The healing balm to give;
That balm the saddest heart can cheer,
And make the dying live.
4 Wide it unveils celestial worlds,
Where deathless pleasures reign;
And bids me seek my portion there,
Nor bids me seek in vain:
5 Shows me the precious promise seal'd
With my Redeemer's blood;
And helps my feeble hope to rest
Upon a faithful God.
6 There, there unshaken would I rest,
'Till this vile body dies,
And then on faith's triumphant wings
At once to glory rise. Languages: English
Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss
Happy the man whose wishes climb
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #370 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Happy the man whose wishes climb
To mansions in the skies!
He looks on all the joys of time
With undesiring eyes.
2 In vain soft pleasure spreads her charms,
And throws her silken chain;
And wealth and fame invite his arms,
And tempt his ear in vain.
3 He knows that all these glitt'ring things
Must yield to sure decay;
And sees on time's extended wings
How swift they flee away.
4 To things unseen by mortal eyes,
A beam of sacred light
Directs his view; his prospects rise
All permanent and bright.
5 His hopes are fix'd on joys to come:
Those blissful scenes on high
Shall flourish in immortal bloom,
When time and nature die. Languages: English
Happy the man whose wishes climb
I look to Jesus, and the face
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #372 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 I look to Jesus, and the face
Of God is turn'd on me in love,
I feel a Father's fond embrace,
And all my doubts and fears remove.
2 I look to Jesus, and behold!
My heart is lighten'd of its cares,
My love for earthly things grows cold,
And pleasure vainly spreads her snares.
3 I look to Jesus, and the sight
Of all that He endured for me,
Makes e'en my greatest sufferings light,
Compared with His deep agony.
4 I look to Jesus when my zeal
And faith and love grow dead and cold;
Then doth He Calvary reveal,
And makes me in His service bold.
5 Thus let me, Lord, while life doth last,
In faith look ever up to Thee,
And when life's sinful days are past
I shall Thy face in glory see. Languages: English
I look to Jesus, and the face
There are three lessons I would write
Author: J. C. Schiller, 1759-1805 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #382 (1917) Topics: Brotherhood Universal; The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service; Faith Hope and Charity; Universal Brotherhood; Graces, Christian; Social Righteousness; Righteousness Social; Man His Life and Experiences Lyrics: 1 There are three lessons I would write,
Three words as with a burning pen,
In tracings of eternal light,
Upon the hearts of men.
2 Have faith: where'er thy bark is driven
The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth
Know this God rules the host of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.
3 Have hope: though clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow;
No night but hath its morn.
4 Have love: not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call,
And scatter like the circling sun
Thy charities on all.
5 Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Faith, hope, and love, and thou shalt find
Strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Light when thou else wert blind. Languages: English Tune Title: ELMHURST
There are three lessons I would write
Walk in the light! so shalt thou know
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #390 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Walk in the light! so shalt thou know
That fellowship of love
His Spirit only can bestow,
Who reigns in light above.
2 Walk in the light! and thou shalt own
Thy darkness pass'd away,
Because that light on thee hath shone
In which is perfect day.
3 Walk in the light! and e'en the tomb
No fearful shade shall wear:
Glory shall chase away its gloom,
For Christ hath conquer'd there!
4 Walk in the light! and thine shall be
A path, though thorny, bright;
For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee,
And God Himself is light. Languages: English
Walk in the light! so shalt thou know
Oh for a closer walk with God
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #392 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Oh for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame;
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
2 Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and His word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoy'd!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
4 Return, O Holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
And drove Thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb. Languages: English
Oh for a closer walk with God
As pants the hart for cooling springs
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #402 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling springs,
So longs my soul, O King of kings,
Thy face in near approach to see,
So thirsts, great Source of life, for Thee.
2 With ardent zeal, with strong desires,
To Thee, to Thee my soul aspires;
When shall I reach Thy blest abode?
When meet the presence of my God?
3 God of my strength, attend my cry,
Say why, my great Preserver, why
Excluded from Thy sight I go,
And bend beneath a weight of woe?
4 Why thus, my soul, with care opprest?
And whence the woes that fill my breast?
In all Thy cares, in all Thy woes,
On God thy steadfast hope repose.
6 To Him my thanks shall still be paid,
My sure defence, my constant aid;
His name my zeal shall ever raise,
And dictate to my lips His praise. Languages: English
