Lord, I hear of showers of blessing
Author: Eliz. Codner Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #1028 (1873) Topics: Even Me Lyrics: 1 Lord, I hear of showers of blessings,
Thou art scattering full and free,
Showers the thirsty land refreshing:
Let some droppings fall on me.
Even me, even me,
Let some droppings fall on me.

Sinful though my heart may be;
Thou might'st leave me, but the rather
Let thy mercy fall on me.
Even me, &c.

Let me live and cling to thee:
Fain I'm longing for thy favor;
Whilst thou 'rt calling, call for me.
Even me, &c.

Thou canst make the blind to see,
Witnesses of Jesus' merit,
Speak the word of power to me--
Even me, &c.

Blood of Christ, so rich and free,
Grace of God, so rich and boundless,
Magnify it all in me,--
Even me, &c.

Bind my heart, O Lord to thee;
Whilst the streams of life are springing,
Blessing others, oh, bless me,--

Lovest thou Me? I hear my Saviour say
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #191 (1854) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Lovest thou Me? Lyrics:
"Lovest thou Me?" I hear my Saviour say;
Would that my heart had power to answer "Yea,"
Thou knowest all things, Lord, in heaven above,
And earth beneath; Thou knowest that I love."
But 'tis not so; in word, in deed, in thought,
I do not, cannot love Thee as I ought;
Thy love must give that power, Thy love alone;
There's nothing worthy of Thee but Thine own.
Lord, with the love wherewith Thou lovest me,
Reflected on Thyself, I would love Thee;
Thence on my brethren shed, might it be seen
By all around, that I with Thee had been.
Scripture: John 21:15-17 Languages: English
Lovest thou Me? I hear my Saviour say
Oh, sing to me of heaven When I am called to die!
Author: Mrs. Dane Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #1017 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Oh, Sing to Me of Heaven Lyrics: 1 Oh, sing to me of heaven,
When I am called to die!
Sing songs of holy ecstasy,
To waft my soul on high!
2 When cold and sluggish drops
Roll off my marble brow,
Burst forth in strains of joyfulness,
Let heaven begin below!
3 When the last moment comes,
Oh, watch my dying face,
And catch the bright, seraphic gleam
Which o'er each feature plays.
4 Then, to my ravished ears,
Let one sweet song be given--
Let music charm me last on earth,
And greet me first in heaven.
5 Then close my sightless eyes,
And lay me down to rest,
And clasp my pale and icy hands
Upon my lifeless breast.
6 Then round my senseless clay
Assemble those I love,
And sing of heaven, delightful heaven,
My glorious home above.
Oh, sing to me of heaven When I am called to die!
Loves thou me?
Author: Newton Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCL (1792) Topics: Love Loves thou me First Line: 'Tis a point I long to know Lyrics: 1 'Tis a point I long to know,
Oft it causes anxious thought;
Do I love the Lord, or no?
Am I his, or am I not?
2 If I love, why am I thus?
Why this dull and lifeless frame?
Hardly, sure, can they be worse,
Who have never heard his name.
3 [Could my heart so hard remain,
Prayer a task and burden prove;
Every trifle give me pain,
If I knew a savior's love?
4 When I turn my eyes within,
All is dark, and vain, and wild;
Fill'd with unbelief and sin,
Can I deem myself a child?]
5 If I pray, or hear, or read,
Sin is mix'd with all I do;
You who love the Lord indeed,
Tell me is it thus with you?
6 Yet I mourn my stubborn will,
Find my sin a grief and thrall;
Should I grieve at what I feel,
If I did not love at all?
7 [Could I joy his saints to meet,
Choose the ways I once abhor'd;
Find, at times, the promise sweet
If I did not love the Lord?]
8 Lord, decide the doubtful case!
Thou, who art the people's sun;
Since upon thy work of grace,
If it be indeed begun.
9 Let me love thee more and more,
If I love at all, I pray;
If I have not lov'd before,
Help me to begin to-day. Scripture: John 21:16 Languages: English
Loves thou me?
Dear Father, help me to forgive
Author: George Wallace Briggs Hymnal: Sing for Joy #26 (1961) Topics: God Cares for Me; Me Lyrics: 1 Dear Father, help me to forgive,
As I would be forgiven:
Thus only can I pray to Thee,
Father, who art in heaven.
2 If some have done me grievous wrong,
What wrong things I have done!
But Thou hast taught us to forgive,
through Jesus Christ, Thy Son.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

Come, gladden my spirit that waiteth for thee;
Thy smile every shadow shall chase from my heart,
And soothe every sorrow though keen be the smart.
2 Without thee but weakness, with thee I am strong;
By day thou shalt lead me, by night be my song;
Though dangers surround me, I still every fear,
Since thou, the Most Mighty, my Helper, art near.
3 Thy love, oh, how faithful! so tender, so pure!
Thy promise, faith's anchor, how steadfast and sure!
That love, like sweet sunshine, my cold heart can warm,
That promise make steady my soul in the storm.
4 Breathe, breathe on my spirit, oft ruffled, thy peace:
From restless, vain wishes, bid thou my heart cease;
In thee all its longings henceforward shall end,
Till, glad, to thy presence my soul shall ascend.
5 Oh, then, blessed Jesus, who once for me died,
Made clean in the fountain that gushed from thy side,
I shall see thy full glory, thy face shall behold,
And praise thee with raptures for ever untold! Languages: English Tune Title: MAGILL

Sprinkle me ever with Thy blood,

Life seems a dark and stormy sea;

A heavenly whisper, Come to me!
2 It tells me of a place of rest;
It tells me where my soul may flee:
Oh, to the weary, faith, oppressed,
How sweet the bidding, Come to me!
3 Come, for all else must fail and die;
Earth is no resting-place for thee;
To heaven direct thy weeping eye;
I am thy portion: Come to me!

In conflict, grief, and agony,
Support me, cheer me from above,
And gently whisper, Come to me! Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30

And suffer'd dreadful smart;
For thee the Lord was curcify'd--
My son, give me thy heart.

And said to me, "Depart;

Behold my heart and see:
And turn each cursed idol out,
That dares to rival thee.
2 Do not I love thee from my soul?
Then let me nothing love:
Dead be my heart to every joy,
When Jesus cannot move.
3 Is not thy name melodious still
To my attentive ear?
Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound
My Savior's voice to hear?
4 [Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock,
I would disdain to feed?
Hast thou a foe, before whose face
I fear thy cause to plead?
5 Would not mine ardent spirit vie
With angels round the throne,
To execute thy sacred will,
And make thy glory known?
6 Would not my heart pour forth its blood
In honor of thy name?
And challenge the cold hand of death
To damp th' immortal flame?]
7 Thou know'st I love thee, dearest Lord,
But Oh! I long to soar
Far from the sphere of mortal joys,
And learn to love thee more.

Watchman, tell me, does the morning
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #1014 (1873) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Watchman, Tell Me Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell me, does the morning
Of fair Zion's glory dawn?
Have the signs that mark its coming,
Yet upon thy pathway shone?
Pilgrim, yes! arise, look round thee;
Light is breaking in the skies;
Gird thy bridal robes around thee;
Morning dawns, arise, arise!
2 Watchman, see, the light is beaming
Brighter still upon the way;
Signs through all the earth are gleaming,
Omens of the coming day,
When the jubal trumpet sounding,
Shall awake from earth and sea,
And the saints of God now sleeping,
Clad in immortality.
3 Watchman, hail the light ascending
Of the grand Sabbatic year;
All with voices loud proclaiming
That the kingdom's very near;
Pilgrim, yes, I see just yonder
Canaan's glorious heights arise,
Salem too appears in grandeur,
Towering 'neath its sunlit skies.
4 Watchman, in the golden city,
Seated on his jasper throne,
Zion's King, enthoned in beauty,
Reigns in peace from zone to zone;
There on sunlit hills and mountains,
Golden beams serenely glow;
Purling streams and crystal fountains,
On whose banks sweet flow'rets blow.
5 Watchman, see, the land is nearing,
With its vernal fruits and flowers,
On just yonder, oh, how cheering,
Bloom for ever Eden's bowers!
Hark! the choral strains are ringing,
Wafted on the balmy air;
See the millions, hear them singing,
Soon the pilgrim will be there.
Watchman, tell me, does the morning

Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide thee from thy servant's eyes!
2 When soft the dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought--how sweet to rest
For ever on my Saviour's breast!
3 Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without thee I dare not die.
4 Be near to bless me when I wake,
Ere through the world my way I take,
Abide with me till in thy love
I lose myself in heaven above. Languages: English Tune Title: HURSLEY

My beauty are, my glorious dress;
'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 Bold shall I stand in Thy great day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully absolved through these I am,
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb,
Who from the Father's bosom came,
Who died for me, even me, to atone,
Now for my Lord and God I own.
4 Lord, I believe Thy precious blood,
Which, at the mercy-seat of God,
For ever doth for sinners plead,
For me, even for my soul, was shed.
5 Lord, I believe, were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
Thou hast for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made.
6 When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies,
Even then, this shall be all my plea,
Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.
