Earnest Longings
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #320 (1890) Topics: Christians Conflicts; Christians Conflicts First Line: Purer yet, and purer Lyrics: 1 Purer yet, and purer
I would be in mind,
Dearer yet and dearer
Every duty find;
Hoping still and trusting
God without a fear,
Patiently believing
He will make all clear.
2 Calmer yet and calmer
Trial bear and pain,
Surer yet and surer
Peace at last to gain;
Suffering still and doing,
To his will resigned,
And to God subduing
Heart and will and mind.
3 Higher yet and higher
Out of clouds and night,
Nearer yet and nearer
Rising to the light
Oft these earnest longings
Swell within my breast,
Yet their inner meaning
Ne'er can be expressed. Languages: English

The closer walk
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #289 (1890) Topics: Christians Conflicts; Christians Conflicts First Line: Oh, for a closer walk with God Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God,

A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!

When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and his word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb. Languages: English Tune Title: HERMON

The praise of him who is thy God,
Thy health's eternal spring. Languages: English Tune Title: CHERITH

Mercy still reserved for me?
