We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen

Author: E. Ellis Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #545 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use 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 by sovereign grace: Nor 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 morn them, for we go to Thee. 4 We would see Jesus; yet the the spirit lingers Round the dear objects it has loved so long, And earth from earth can scarce unclasp its fingers; Our love to Thee makes not this love less strong. 5 We would see Jesus: sense is all too binding, And heaven appears too dim, too far away; We would see Thee, Thyself our hearts reminding What Thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay. 6 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.

My God, I thank Thee Who hast made

Author: A. A. Procter Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #546 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 My God, I thank Thee, Who hast made The earth so bright; So full of splendour and of joy, Beauty and light; So many glorious things are here, Noble and right. 2 I thank Thee too that Thou hast Joy to abound; So many gentle thoughts and deeds Circling us around. That in the darkest spot of earth Some love is found. 3 I thank Thee more that all our joy Is touched with pain; That shadows fall on brightest hours; That thorns remain; So that earth's bliss may be our guide, And not our chain. 4 For Thou Who knowest, Lord, how soon Our weak heart clings, Hast given us joys, tender and true, Yet all with wings; So that we see, gleaming on high, Diviner things. 5 I thank Thee, Lord that Thou has kept The best in store; We have enough, yet not too much To long for more: A yearning for a deeper peace, Not known before. 6 I thank Thee, Lord, that here our souls, Though amply blest, Can never find, although they seek, A perfect rest; Nor ever shall, until they lean On Jesus' breast.

Thou art my hiding-place, O Lord

Author: T. Raffles Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #548 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Thou art my hiding-place, O Lord, In Thee I put 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?

He leads us on by paths we did not know

Author: H. O. Wiley Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #549 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 He leads us on by paths we did not know; Upward He leads us, though our steps be slow; Though oft we faint and falter on the way, Tho' storms and darkness oft obscure the day, Yet, when the clouds are gone, We know He leads us on. 2 He leads us on through all the unquiet years; Past all our dreamland hopes, and doubts, and fears He guides our steps; through all the tangled maze Of losses, sorrows, and o'erclouded days We know His will is done, And still He leads us on. 3 And He, at last, after the weary strife, After the restless fever we call life, After the dreariness, the aching pain, The wayward struggles which have proved in vain, After our toils are past, Will give us rest at last.

Father, I know that all my life

Author: A. L. Waring Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #550 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; And the changes that are sure to come, I do not fear to see: But I ask Thee for a present mind, Intent on pleasing Thee. 2 I ask Thee for a thoughtful love Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles And to wipe the weeping eyes; And a heart at leisure from itself To soothe and sympathize. 3 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4 Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe'er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts To keep and cultivate; And a work of lowly love to do For the Lord on whom I wait. 5 So I ask Thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, And a mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified. 6 In a service which Thy will appoints There are no bonds for me; For my inmost heart is taught the truth That makes Thy children free; And a life of self-renouncing love Is a life of liberty.

Lord, it belongs not to my care

Author: R. Baxter Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #552 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use 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. 2 If life be long, O make me glad The longer to obey; If short, no labourer is sad To end his toilsome day. 3 Christ leads me thro' no darker rooms Than He went through before; And he that to God's kingdom comes Must enter by this door. 4 Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet Thy blessed face to see: For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be? 5 Then I shall end my sad complaints And weary, sinful days, And join with the triumphant saints That sing my Saviour's praise. 6 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.

My spirit on Thy care

Author: H. F. Lyte Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #553 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 My spirit on Thy care, Saviour, I recline; Thou wilt not leave me to despair, For Thou art Love divine. 2 In Thee I place my trust, On Thee I calmly rest; I know Thee good, I know Thee just, And count Thy choice the best. 3 Whate'er events betide, Thy will they all perform: Safe in Thy breast my head I hide, Nor fear the coming storm. 4 Let good or ill befall, It must be good for me; Secure in having Thee in all, Of having all in Thee.

The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. 2 Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed? To do the will of Jesus, this is rest. 3 Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?

Jesus we know, and He is on the throne. 6 Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours? Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers. 7 It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease, And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace. Languages: English Tune Title: PAX TECUM

Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish

Author: T. Moore Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #555 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use 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 heav'n 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.

Tarry with me, O my Saviour!

Author: Mrs. C. L.

For the day is passing by; See! the shades of evening gather, And the night is drawing nigh. 2 Deeper, deeper grow the shadows, Paler now the glowing west, Swift the night of death advances; Shall it be the night of rest? 3 Lonely seems the vale of shadow; Sinks my heart with troubled fear; Give me faith for clearer vision, Speak Thou, Lord, in words of cheer. 4 Let me hear Thy voice behind me, Calming all these wild alarms; Let me, underneath my weakness, Feel the everlasting arms. 5 Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying, Lord, I cast myself on Thee; Tarry with me through the darkness; While I sleep, still watch by me. 6 Tarry with me, O my Saviour! Lay my head upon Thy breast Till the morning; then awake me! Morning of eternal rest. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Tarry with me, O my Saviour]
