To the cross where thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

By the pow'r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in thine. [Refrain]

That before thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend! [Refrain]

Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with thee. [Refrain]

Eternally held in thine heart. Scripture: Psalm 23

Above my foes around,
Amid the battle shock
My song shall still resound;
Then joyful offerings I will bring,
Jehovah's praise my heart shall sing.

My heart would seek Thy face,
Within Thy holy house once more
To see Thy glorious grace.
Apart from Thee I long and thirst,
And nought can satisfy;
I wander in a desert land
Where all the streams are dry.
2 The loving-kindness of my God
Is more than life to me;
So I will bless Thee while I live
And lift my prayer to Thee.
In Thee my soul is satisfied,
My darkness turns to light,
And joyful meditations fill
The watches of the night.
3 My Saviour, 'neath Thy shelt'ring wings
My soul delights to dwell;
Still closer to Thy side I press,
For near Thee all is well.
My soul shall conquer ev'ry foe,
Upholden by Thy hand;
Thy people shall rejoice in God,
Thy saints in glory stand. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English Tune Title: THE GREEN HILL

Thou Shepherd of Israel divine
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #397 (1870) Topics: Blessedness of piety; Christians their life and experience; Communion With Christ; Growth in Grace; Happiness of fellowship with God and Christ; Love To Christ; Preciousness of Christ; Presence of Christ Lyrics: 1 Thou Shepherd of Israel divine,
The joy and desire of my heart,
For closer communion I pine,
I long to reside where Thou art:
The pasture I languish to find
Where all, who their Shepherd obey,
Are fed, on Thy boson reclined,
And screen'd from the heat of the day.
2 Ah! show me that happiest place,
That place of Thy people's abode,
Where saints in an ecstasy gaze,
And hang on a crucified God!
Thy love for a sinner declare,
Thy passion and death on the tree;
My spirit to Calvary bear,
To suffer and triumph with Thee.
3 'Tis there with the lambs of Thy flock,
There only I covet to rest,
To lie at the foot of the Rock,
Or rise to be hid in Thy breast;
'Tis there I would always abide,
And never a moment depart;
Conceal'd in the cleft of Thy side,
Eternally held in Thy heart. Languages: English
Thou Shepherd of Israel divine
Oh, that I could forever dwell
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #399 (1870) Topics: Blessedness of piety; Christians their life and experience; Communion With Christ; Happiness of fellowship with God and Christ; Love To Christ; Preciousness of Christ; Presence of Christ Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I could forever dwell,
Delighted at the Saviour’s feet;
Behold the form I love so well,
And all His tender words repeat!
2 The world shut out from all my soul,
And heaven brought in with all its bliss,
Oh! is there aught, from pole to pole,
One moment to compare with this?
3 This is the hidden life I prize--
A life of penitential love;
When most my follies I despise,
And raise my highest thoughts above;
4 When all I am I clearly see,
And freely own with deepest shame;
When the Redeemer's love to me
Kindles within a deathless flame.
5 Thus would I live till nature fail,
And all my former sins forsake;
Then rise to God within the veil,
And of eternal joys partake. Languages: English
Oh, that I could forever dwell
