I Hear Thy Voice

Author: Marion F. Ham Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: I hear Thy voice, within the silence speaking Lyrics: 1. I hear Thy voice, within the silence speaking; Above earth’s din it rises, calm and clear; Whatever goal my wayward will is seeking, Its whispered message tells me Thou art near. 2. When evil reigns, life’s darker depths revealing, And all the good seem sadly marred by wrong, Amidst the discord, like sweet music stealing, Thy voice, abiding, fills my soul with song. 3. O living voice, within the silence calling, My spirit answers, wheresoe’er I roam; Through life’s brief day still keep my feet from falling, And lead me, through the evening shadows, home.

As Pants the Hart

Appears in 68 hymnals First Line: As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs Lyrics: 1 As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs, That sinks exhausted in the summer's chase, So pants my soul for thee, great King of kings, So thirsts to reach thy sacred dwelling place. 2 Lord, thy sure mercies, ever in my sight, My heart shall gladden thro' the tedious day; And 'midst the dark and gloomy shades of night, To thee, my God, I'll tune the grateful lay. 3 Why faint my soul? why doubt Jehovah's aid? Thy God the God of mercy still shall prove; Within his courts thy thanks shall yet be paid; Unquestioned be his faithfulness and love.

Come Unto Me

Appears in 273 hymnals First Line: Come unto me when shadows darkly gather Lyrics: 1 Come unto me when shadows darkly gather, When the sad heart is weary and distressed. Seeking for comfort from your heavenly Father; Come unto me, and I will give you rest. 2 Ye who have mourned when the spring flowers were taken, When the ripe fruit fell richly to the ground, When the loved slept, in brighter homes to waken, Where their pale brows with spirit-wreaths are crowned. 3 Large are the mansions in thy Father's dwelling, Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim; Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling, Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn. 4 There, like an Eden blossoming in gladness, Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely pressed: Come unto me, all ye who droop in sadness, Come unto me, and I will give you rest. Used With Tune: [Come unto me when shadows darkly gather]

As Pants the Hart for Streams

Author: Anonymous Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: As pants the hart for streams of living water Lyrics: 1. As pants the hart for streams of living water, So longs my soul, O living God, for Thee; I thirst for Thee, for Thee my heart is yearning; When shall I come Thy gracious face to see? 2. O Lord my God, overwhelmed in deep affliction, Far from Thy rest, to Thee I lift my soul; Deep calls to deep and storms of trouble thunder, While over my head the waves and billows roll. 3. Thou wilt command Thy servant’s consolation, Thy lovingkindness yet shall cheer my day, And in the night Thy song shall be my comfort; God of my life, to Thee I still will pray. 4. Why, O my soul, art thou cast down within me, Why art thou troubled and oppressed with grief? Hope thou in God, the God of thy salvation, Hope, and thy God will surely send relief.
