And long to feast upon Thee still; We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, Where'er our changeful lot is cast; Glad, when Thy gracious smile we see; Blest, when our faith can hold Thee fast. 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay! Make all our moments calm and bright; Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light! Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM

I've found a Friend; O, such a Friend!

Author: J. G. Small, 1817-1888 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #341 (1917) Topics: Abiding, presence of Christ; Presence, of Christ Lyrics: 1 I've found a Friend; O, such a Friend! He loved me ere I knew Him; He drew me with the cords of love, And thus He bound me to Him; And round my heart still closely twine Those ties which nought can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, For ever and for ever. 2 I've found a Friend; O, such a Friend! He bled, He died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But His own self He gave me. Nought that I have my own I call, I hold it for the Giver; My heart, my strength, my life, my all, Are His, and His for ever. 3 I've found a Friend; O, such a Friend! All power to Him is given, To guard me on my onward course, And bring me safe to heaven. Th' eternal glories gleam afar, To nerve my faint endeavour: So now to watch, to work, to war, And then to rest for ever. 4 I've found a Friend; O, such a Friend! So kind, and true, and tender; So wise a Counsellor and Guide, So mighty a Defender! From Him, who loves me now so well, What power my soul can sever? Shall life or death, or earth or hell? No! I am His for ever. Languages: English Tune Title: CONSTANCE

Peace! doubting heart; my God's I am

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #540 (1917) Topics: Abiding, presence of Christ; Presence, of Christ Lyrics: 1 Peace! doubting heart; my God's I am; Who formed me man, forbids my fear; The Lord hath called me by my name; The Lord protects, for ever near; His blood for me did once atone. And still He loves and guards His own. 2 When passing through the watery deep, I ask in faith His promised aid, The waves an awful distance keep, And shrink from my devoted head; Fearless their violence I dare; They cannot harm, for God is there! 3 To Him mine eye of faith I turn, And through the fire pursue my way; The fire forgets its power to burn, The lambent flames around me play; I own His power, accept the sign, And shout to prove the Saviour mine. 4 When darkness intercepts the skies, And sorrow's waves around me roll, When high the storms of passion rise, And half o'erwhelm my sinking soul, My soul a sudden calm shall feel, And hear a whisper, "Peace: be still!" 5 Still near me, O my Saviour, stand! And guard in fierce temptation's hour; Hide in the hollow of Thy hand; Show forth in me Thy saving power; Still be Thy arms my sure defence; Nor earth nor hell shall pluck me thence.

O Master, it is good to be

Author: Dean Stanley, 1815-1881 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #88 (1917) Topics: Abiding, presence of Christ; Presence, of Christ Lyrics: 1 O Master, it is good to be High on the mountain here with Thee; Where stand revealed to mortal gaze The two great saints of other days, Who once received on Horeb's height The eternal laws of truth and right; Or caught the still small whisper, higher Then storm, than earthquake, or than fire. 2 O Master, it is good to be With Thee, and with Thy faithful three: Here, where the apostle's heart of rock Is nerved against temptation's shock; Here, where the Son of Thunder The thought that breathes, and word that burns; Here, where on eagle's wings we move With him whose last, best creed is love. 3 O Master, it is good to be Entranced, enwrapt, alone with Thee; Watching the glistering raiment glow, Whiter than Hermon's whitest snow, The human lineaments that shine Irradiant with a light divine: Till we too change from grace to grace Gazing on that transfigured face. 4 O Master, it is good to be Here on the holy mount with Thee; When darkling in the depths of night, When dazzled with excess of light, We bow before the heavenly voice That bids bewildered souls rejoice, Though love wax cold, and faith be dim, "This is My Son! O hear ye Him!" Languages: English Tune Title: STANLEY
