Jesus, merciful and mild
Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #459 (1961) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 Jesus, merciful and mild,
Lead me as a helpless child:
On no other arm but thine
Would my weary soul recline.
Thou art ready to forgive,
Thou canst bid the sinner live;
Guide the wand'rer, day by day,
In the strait and narrow way.
2 Thou canst fit me by thy grace
For the heav'nly dwelling-place;
All thy promises are sure,
Ever shall thy love endure;
Then what more could I desire,
How to greater bliss aspire?
All I need, in thee I see;
Thou art all in all to me.
3 Jesus, Saviour all Divine,
Hast thou made me truly thine?
Hast thou bought me by thy blood?
Reconciled my heart to God?
Hearken to my tender prayer
Let me thine own image bear,
Let me love thee more and more
Till I reach heav'n's blissful shore.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 31:3 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLLINGSIDE

We Have Not Known Thee As We Ought
Author: Thomas Benson Pollock Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #493 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 We have not known thee as we ought,
nor learned thy wisdom, grace and pow'r;
the things of earth have filled our thought,
and trifles of the passing hour.
Lord, give us light thy truth to see,
and make us wise in knowing thee.
2 We have not feared thee as we ought,
nor bowed beneath thine awful eye,
nor guarded deed, and word, and thought,
remembering that God was nigh.
Lord, give us faith to know thee near,
and grant the grace of holy fear.
3 We have not loved thee as we ought,
nor cared that we are loved by thee;
thy presence we have coldly sought,
and feebly longed thy face to see.
Lord, give a pure and loving heart
to feel and own the love thou art.
4 We have not served thee as we ought;
alas! the duties left undone,
the work with little fervor wrought,
the battles lost, or scarcely won!
Lord, give the zeal, and give the might,
for thee to toil, for thee to fight.
5 When shall we know thee as we ought,
and fear, and love, and serve aright!
When shall we, out of trial brought,
be perfect in the land of light!
Lord, may we day by day prepare
to see thy face, and serve thee there.
Scripture: Nehemiah 1:7 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CHRYSOSTOM

come thou also unto me;
where we find thee and adore thee,
there a heav'n on earth must be.
To my heart, O enter thou,
let it be thy temple now!

here thy seed is duly sown;
let my soul, where it is planted,
bring forth precious sheaves alone,
so that all I hear may be
fruitful unto life in me.

let me keep thy gift divine,
howsoe'er temptations thicken;
may thy Word still o'er me shine
as my guiding star through life,
as my comfort in all strife.

let thy will be done indeed;
may I undisturbed draw near thee
while thou dost thy people feed.

here is balm for all our woes. Scripture: Psalm 27:4 Languages: English Tune Title: NEANDER

Star of the coming day,
Arise, and with thy morning beams
Chase all our griefs away.
2 Come, blessed Lord, bid ev'ry shore
And answ'ring island sing
The praises of thy royal Name,
And own thee as their King.
3 Bid the whole earth, responsive now
To the bright world above,
Break forth in rapturous strains of joy
In mem'ry of thy love.
4 Lord, Lord, thy fair creation groans,
The air, the earth, the sea,
In unison with all our hearts,
And calls aloud for thee.
5 Come, then, with all thy quick'ning pow'r,
With one awak'ning smile,
And bid the serpent's trail no more
Thy beauteous realms defile.
6 Thine was the cross, with all its fruits
Of grace and peace Divine:
Be thine the crown of glory now,
The palms of vict'ry thine.

Peace and good tidings to earth."

yet was triumphant at last.

homeless, rejected, and poor. [Refrain]

writhing in anguish and pain;

love paid the ransom for me. [Refrain]
