In weariness and pain
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: The Cross and Comfort; The Cross and Comfort In Outward Suffering Lyrics: 1 In weariness and pain,
By sins and fears opprest,
I turn me to my Rest again,
My soul's eternal Rest:
2 The Lamb that died for me,
And still my load doth bear;
To Jesus' streaming wounds I flee,
And find my quiet there.
3 Jesus, was ever grief,
Was ever love like Thine?
Thy sorrow, Lord, is my relief,
Thy life hath ransomed mine.
4 O may I rise with Thee,
And soar to things above,
And spend a blest eternity
In praise of dying Love. Used With Tune: DENNIS
In weariness and pain
God of my life, to Thee I call!
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 170 hymnals Topics: The Cross and Comfort; The Cross and Comfort In Outward Suffering Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to Thee I call!
Afflicted at Thy feet I fall;
When the great water-floods prevail,
Leave not my trembling heart to fail!
2 Friend of the friendless and the faint!
Where should I lodge my deep complaint?
Where but with Thee, whose open door
Invites the helpless and the poor?
3 Did ever mourner plead with Thee,
And Thou refuse that mourner's plea?
Does not the word still fixed remain,
That none shall seek Thy face in vain?
4 That were a grief I could not bear,
Didst Thou not hear and answer prayer;
But a prayer-hearing, answering God
Supports me under every load.
5 Fair is the lot that's cast for me;
I have an Advocate with Thee;
They whom the world caresses most
Have no such privilege to boast.
6 Poor though I be, despised, forgot,
Yet God, my God, forgets me not;
And he is safe, and must succeed,
For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead. Used With Tune: ANGELUS
God of my life, to Thee I call!
Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord!
Author: Thomas Raffles Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: The Cross and Comfort; The Cross and Comfort In General Need Lyrics: 1 Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord!
On Thee I fix my trust,
Encouraged by Thy holy Word,
A feeble child of dust.
I have no argument beside,
I urge no other plea;
And 'tis enough my Saviour died,
My Saviour died for me.
2 When storms of fierce temptation beat,
And furious foes assail,
My refuge is the mercy-seat,
My hope within the veil.
From strife of tongues and bitter words
My spirit flies to Thee:
Joy to my heart the thought affords,
My Saviour died for me.
3 'Mid trials heavy to be borne,
When mortal strength is vain,
A heart with grief and anguish torn,
A body racked with pain:
Ah, what could give the sufferer rest,
Bid every murmur flee,
But this, the witness in my breast
That Jesus died for me?
4 And when Thy awful voice commands
This body to decay,
And life, in its last lingering sands,
Is ebbing fast away,
Then, though it be in accents weak,
And faint and tremblingly,
O give me strength in death to speak,
"My Saviour died for me." Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW
Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord!
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 258 hymnals Topics: The Cross and Comfort In General Need Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.
If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
2 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before:
He that into God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessed face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be?
3 Then I shall end my sad complaints,
And weary sinful days,
And join with the triumphant saints,
That sing Jehovah's praise.
My knowledge of that Life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him. Used With Tune: OLD 137TH PSALM
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Thou very present Aid
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 103 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: HANDEL
Thou very present Aid
Dear Refuge of my weary soul
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 362 hymnals Topics: The Cross and Comfort; The Cross and Comfort In Outward Suffering 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 Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face?
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!
Used With Tune: LONDON NEW

Cariñoso Salvador

Huyo de la tempestad;
A tu seno protector
Voy confiando en tu bondad:
Cúbreme, Señor Jesús,
De las olas del turbión;
Hasta el puerto de salud
Guía Tú mi embarcación.
2 Ningún otro asilo hay:
Indefenso acudo a Ti;
Mi necesidad me trae
Del peligro en que me vi;
Solamente en Ti, Señor,
Puede haber consuelo y luz;
Vengo libre de temor
A los pies de mi Jesús.
3 Cristo, encuentro todo en Ti,
Y no necesito más;
Aunque débil, pore esté,
Tu poder me sostendrá.
Al enfermo das salud,
Guías tierno al que no ve;
Con amor y gratitud
Tu bondad ensalzaré.

Cariñoso Salvador
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish
Author: Thomas Moore; Thomas Hastings Appears in 1,054 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish;
Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel:
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
"Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure."
3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above;
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.
Amen. Used With Tune: ALMA REDEMPTORIS MATER
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish
Nearer my God, to Thee
Author: Sarah Flower Adams Appears in 2,489 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort First Line: Nearer, my God, to Thee Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee;
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me.
Still, all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
2 Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone.
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
3 There let my way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
4 Then with my waking thoughts,
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
5 Or, if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upwards I fly:
Still, all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
Amen.

O Thou, from whom all goodness flows
Author: Thomas Haweis Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 418 hymnals Topics: The Cross and Comfort; The Cross and Comfort In General Need Lyrics: 1 O Thou, from whom all goodness flows,
I lift my heart to Thee;
In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes,
Dear Lord, remember me!
2 When on my aching, burdened heart
My sins lie heavily,
My pardon speak, new peace impart:
In love, remember me!
3 Temptations sore obstruct my way,
And ills I cannot flee;
O give me strength, Lord, as my day;
For good, remember me!
4 Distrest with pain, disease, and grief,
This feeble body see,
Grant patience, rest, and kind relief;
Hear, and remember me!
5 When in the solemn hour of death
I wait Thy just decree:
Be this the prayer of my last breath,
Good Lord, remember me!
6 And when before Thy throne I stand
And lift my soul to Thee:
Then, with the saints at Thy right hand,
Good Lord, remember me!

O Thou, from whom all goodness flows
