My darkness turns to light,
And joyful meditations fill
The watches of the night.

Thy pow'r and glory to behold
Within Thy holy place;

When on my bed I rest at night
And meditate on Thee;

to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;

shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, my onward path illuming.

with which the soul will long
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till Love create the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes its dwelling. Languages: English Tune Title: DOWN AMPNEY

no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel visitant, no opening skies,
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast you not bid me love you, God and King;
all, all your own, soul, heart and strength and mind?
I see your cross: there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek you and O let me find!
4 Teach me to love you as your angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame,
the baptism of the heaven-descended dove,
my heart an altar and your love the flame. Tune Title: MORECAMBE

I Was a Wandering Sheep
Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #418 (1934) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Seeking (God after Man) Lyrics: 1 I was a wandering sheep,
I did not love the fold;
I did not love my Shepherd’s voice,
I would not be controlled.
I was a wayward child,
I did not love my home,
I did not love my Father’s voice,
I loved afar to roam.
2 The Shepherd sought His sheep,
The Father sought His child;
They followed me o’er vale and hill,
O’er deserts waste and wild.
They found me nigh to death,
Famished and faint and lone;
They bound me with the bands of love,
They saved the wandering one.
3 Jesus my Shepherd is;
’Twas He that loved my soul,
’Twas He that washed me in His blood,
’Twas He that made me whole.
’Twas He that sought the lost,
That found the wandering sheep;
’Twas He that brought me to the fold,
’Tis He that still doth keep.
4 No more a wandering sheep!
I love to be controlled,
I love my tender Shepherd’s voice,
I love the peaceful fold.
No more a wayward child!
I seek no more to roam;
I love my heavenly Father’s voice,
I love, I love His home. Languages: English Tune Title: LEBANON

How happy is the pilgrim's lot
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #451 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Christian Pilgrim seeking a better Country Lyrics: 1 How happy is the pilgrim's lot,
How free from every anxious thought,
From worldly hope and fear!
Confin'd to neither court nor cell,
His soul disdains on earth to dwell,
He only sojourns here.
2 Though I no foot of land possess,
Nor cottage in this wilderness,
A poor way-faring man,
I lodge a while in tents below,
Or gladly wander to and fro,
Till I my Canaan gain.
3 Nothing on earth I call my own;
A stranger to the world unknown,
I all their goods despise;
I trample on their whole delight,
And seek a city out of sight,
A city in the skies.
4 There is my house and portion fair,
My treasure, and my heart are there,
And my abiding home;
For me my elder brethren stay,
And angels beckon me away,
And Jesus bids me come!
5 I come, thy servant, Lord, replies,
I come, to meet thee in the skies,
And claim my heavenly rest!
Now let the pilgrim's journey end,
Now, O my Saviour, brother, friend,
Receive me to thy breast! Scripture: Hebrews 11:13
How happy is the pilgrim's lot
O Jesus, Joy of Loving Hearts
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Voices United #472 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Seeking God Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, joy of loving hearts,
the fount of life, the light of all
from every bliss that earth imparts,
we turn, unfilled, to hear your call.

you plead with all to call on you,
to those who seek you, you are good,
to those who find you, life is new.
3 We taste your ever-living bread,
and long to feast upon you still;
we drink of you, the fountainhead,
our thirsting souls from you we fill.
4 O Jesus, ever with us stay;
make all our moments calm and bright;
chase the bleak night of sin away;
shed o'er the world your holy light. Tune Title: MARYTON
O Jesus, Joy of Loving Hearts
