The sun is sinking fast

Author: E. Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #242 (1917) Topics: Soul Commended to God; Soul Commended to God Lyrics: 1 The sun is sinking fast, The daylight dies; Let love awake, and pay Her evening sacrifice. 2 As Christ upon the Cross His head inclined, And to His Father's hands His parting soul resigned, 3 So now herself my soul Would wholly give Into His sacred charge, In whom all spirits live; 4 So now beneath His eye Would calmly rest, Without a wish or thought Abiding in the breast, 5 Save that His will be done, Whate'er betide, Dead to herself, and dead In Him to all beside. 6 Thus would I live; yet now Not I, but He In all His power and love Henceforth alive in me. 7 One sacred Trinity! One Lord Divine! May I be ever His, And He for ever mine. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. COLUMBA

Shall all my joys on earth remove, And God forever hide his love? 7 My God, thy long delay to save, Will sink thy prisoner to the grave; My heart grows faint, and dim mine eye; Make haste to help before I die. 8 The night is witness to my tears, Distressing pains, distressing fears; Oh might I hear thy morning voice, How would my weary powers rejoice! 9 In thee I trust, to thee I sigh, And lift my weary soul on high; For thee sit waiting all the day, And wear the tiresome hours away. 10 Break off my fetters, Lord, and show The paths in which my feet should go: If snares and foes beset the road, I'll flee to hide me near my God. 11 Teach me to do thy holy will, And lead me to thy heavenly hill: Let the good spirit of thy love Conduct me to thy courts above. 12 Then shall my soul no more complain, The tempter then shall rage in vain; And flesh that was my foe before, Shall never vex my spirit more.

Now I have found the ground wherein

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #357 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Jesus the anchor of the soul Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein Sure my soul’s anchor may remain: The love of God forgiving sin, Through Jesus crucified and slain. His mercy shall unshaken stay, When heav'n and earth have pass'd away. 2 Father! thine everlasting grace Our scanty thought surpasses far; Thine heart still melts with tenderness, Thine arms of love still open are; And Jesus' blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries. 3 Tho' waves and storms go o’er my head, Tho' strength and health and friends be gone, Tho' joys be wither'd all and dead, Tho' every comfort be withdrawn: On this my steadfast soul relies, Father, thy mercy never dies. 4 Fix'd on this ground will I remain, Tho' my heart fail and flesh decay, This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth’s foundations melt away, Mercy’s full pow'r I then shall prove, Lov'd with an everlasting love.

Wesley, 1703-1791 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #499 (1917) Topics: Anchor of the Soul Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein Sure my soul's anchor may remain, The wounds of Jesus for my sin Before the world's foundation slain: Whose mercy shall unshaken stay, When heaven and earth are fled away. 2 Father, Thine everlasting grace Our scanty thought surpasses far; Thy heart still melts with tenderness, Thy arms of love still open are, Returning sinners to receive, That mercy they may taste and live. 3 O Love, Thou bottomless abyss, My sins are swallowed up in Thee! Covered is my unrighteousness, Nor spot of guilt remains on me, While Jesus' blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries. 4 With faith I plunge me in this sea, Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee, I look into my Saviour's breast; Away, sad doubt, and anxious fear! Mercy is all that's written there. 5 Though waves and storms go o'er my head, Though strength, and health, and friends be gone, Though joys be withered all and dead, Though every comfort be withdrawn, On this my steadfast soul relies Father, Thy mercy never dies. 6 Fixed on this ground will I remain, Though my heart fail, and flesh decay; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth's foundations melt away; Mercy's full power I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love.
