This night, O Lord, we bless thee

Author: Rev. James D. Burns Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1. This night, O Lord, we bless Thee For Thy protecting care, And ere we rest, address Thee In lowly, fervent prayer: From evil and temptation Defend us through the night, And round our habitation Be Thou a wall of light. 2. On Thee our whole reliance From day to day we cast, To Thee with firm affiance, Would cleave from first to last; To Thee, through Jesus' merit, For needful grace we come, And trust that Thy good Spirit Will guide us safely home. 3. What may be on the morrow Our foresight cannot see; But be it joy or sorrow, We know it comes from Thee. And nothing can take from us, Where'er our steps may move, The staff of Thy sure promise, The shield of Thy true love. Amen.

Thou art coming, O my Savior

Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 118 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art coming, O my Saviour, Thou art coming, O my King, In Thy beauty all resplendent, In Thy glory all transcendent; Well may we rejoice and sing: Coming! in the opening east Herald brightness slowly swells; Coming! O my glorious Priest, Hear we not Thy golden bells? 2 Thou art coming, Thou art coming; We shall meet Thee on Thy way; We shall see Thee, we shall know Thee, We shall bless Thee, we shall show Thee All our hearts could never say: What an anthem that will be, Ringing out our love to Thee, Pouring out our rapture sweet At Thine own all-glorious feet. 3 Thou art coming; at Thy table We are witnesses for this; While remembering hearts Thou meetest In communion clearest, sweetest, Earnest of our coming bliss; Showing not Thy death alone, And Thy love exceeding great, But Thy coming and Thy throne, All for which we long and wait. 4 Thou art coming; we are waiting With a hope that cannot fail; Asking not the day or hour, Resting on Thy word of power, Anchored safe within the veil: Time appointed may be long, But the vision must be sure; Certainty shall make us strong, Joyful patience can endure. 5 O the joy to see Thee reigning, Thee, my own beloved Lord! Every tongue Thy Name confessing, Worship, honor, glory, blessing Brought to Thee with glad accord; Thee, my Master and my Friend, Vindicated and enthroned, Unto earth's remotest end Glorified, adored, and owned. Amen.

Thou art gone up on high

Author: Emma L. Toke Appears in 139 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art gone up on high To mansions in the skies; And round Thy throne unceasingly The songs of praise arise; But we are lingering here, With sin and care oppressed; Lord, send thy promised Comforter, And lead us to Thy rest. 2 Thou art gone up on high; But Thou didst first come down, Through earth's most bitter misery To pass unto Thy crown; And girt with griefs and fears Our onward course must be; But only let that path of tears Lead us at last to Thee. 3 Thou art gone up on high; But Thou shalt come again, With all the bright ones of the sky Attendant in Thy train. O by Thy saving power So make us live and die, That we may stand in that dread hour At Thy right hand on high. Amen.

Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord

Author: Rev. Thomas Raffles Appears in 112 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord, In Thee I put my trust; Encouraged by Thy holy word, A feeble child of dust: I have no argument beside, I urge no other plea; And 'tis enough my Savior died, My Saviour died for me. 2 When storms of fierce temptation beat, And furious foes assail, My refuge is the mercy-seat, My hope within the veil. From strife of tongues and bitter words My spirit flies to Thee: Joy to my heart the thought affords, My Saviour died for me. 3 Mid trials heavy to be borne, When mortal strength is vain, A heart with grief and anguish torn, A body racked with pain; Ah! what could give the sufferer rest, Bid every murmur flee, But this, the witness in my breast That Jesus died for me? 4 And when Thine awful voice commands This body to decay, And life, in its last lingering sands, Is ebbing fast away,-- Then, though it be in accents weak, And faint and tremblingly, O give me strength in death to speak, "My Saviour died for me." Amen.

Amen.

Thou hidden Love of God, whose height

Author: Rev. John Wesley; Gerhard Tersteegen Appears in 265 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden Love of God, whose height, Whose depth unfathomed, no man knows: I see from far Thy beauteous light, Inly I sigh for Thy repose: My heart is pained, nor can it be At rest till it finds rest in Thee. 2 'Tis mercy all, that Thou hast brought My mind to seek her peace in Thee; Yet while I seek, but find Thee not, No peace my wandering soul shall see; O when shall all my wanderings end, And all my steps to Thee-ward tend! 3 Is there a thing beneath the sun That strives with Thee my heart to share? Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone, The Lord of every motion there; Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it has found repose in Thee. 4 O Love, Thy sovereign aid impart To save me from low-thoughted care; Chase this self-will through all my heart, Through all its latent mazes there; Make me Thy duteous child, that I Ceaseless may "Abba, Father," cry. 5 Each moment draw from earth away My heart, that lowly waits thy call; Speak to my inmost soul, and say "I am thy Love, thy God, thy All." To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice, To taste Thy love, be all my choice! Amen.

Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow

Author: Jane Borthwick Appears in 52 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow Of the sad heart that comes to Thee for rest: Cares of today, and burdens for tomorrow, Blessings implored, and sins to be confessed; We come before Thee at Thy gracious word, And lay them at Thy feet: Thou knowest, Lord. 2 Thou knowest all the present; each temptation, Each toilsome duty, each foreboding fear; All to myself assigned of tribulation, Or to belovèd ones than self more dear; All pensive memories, as I journey on, Longings for vanished smiles and voices gone. 3 Thou knowest all the future: gleams of gladness By stormy clouds too quickly overcast; Hours of sweet fellowship and parting sadness, And the dark river to be crossed at last; O what could confidence and hope afford To tread that path, but this, Thou knowest, Lord! 4 Thou knowest, not alone as God, all knowing; As man, our mortal weakness Thou hast proved: On earth, with purest sympathies o'erflowing, O Saviour, Thou hast wept, and Thou hast loved; And love and sorrow still to Thee may come, And find a hiding-place, a rest, a home. 5 Therefore I come, Thy gentle call obeying, And lay my sins and sorrows at Thy feet; On everlasting Strength my weakness staying, Clothed in Thy robe of righteousness complete,: Then rising and refreshed I leave Thy throne, And follow on to know as I am known. Amen.

Thou, Lord, art Love; and everywhere

Author: Rev. James D. Burns Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, art Love; and everywhere Thy Name is brightly shown, Beneath, on earth, Thy footstool fair, Above, in heaven, Thy throne. 2 Thy word is love; in lines of gold There mercy prints its trace; In nature we Thy steps behold, The gospel shows Thy face. 3 Thy ways are love; though they transcend Our feeble range of sight, They wind, in darkness, to their end In everlasting light. 4 Thy thoughts are love; and Jesus is The living voice they find: His love lights up the vast abyss Of the eternal Mind. 5 Thy chastisements are love; more deep They stamp the seal Divine, And by a sweet compulsion keep Our spirits nearer Thine. 6 Thy heaven is the abode of Love: O blessèd Lord, that we May there, when time's deep shades remove, Be gathered home to Thee. 7 There with Thy resting saints to fall Adoring round Thy throne' Where all shall love Thee, Lord, and all Shall in Thy love be one. Amen.

Still in Thy love we onward move; We follow Thee. Amen.
