O Thou, Before Whose Presence

Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5356 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: O Thou before whose presence Lyrics: 1. O Thou before whose presence naught evil may come in, Yet who dost look in mercy down on this world of sin, O give us noble purpose to set the sin bound free, And Christlike tender pity to seek the lost for Thee. 2. Fierce is our subtle foeman: the forces at his hand With woes that none can number despoil the pleasant land; All they who war against them, in strife so keen and long, Must in their Savior’s armor be stronger than the strong. 3. So hast Thou wrought among us the great things that we see! For things that are we thank Thee, and for the things to be. For bright hope is uplifting faint hands and feeble knees, To strive beneath Thy blessing for greater things than these. 4. Lead on, O love and mercy, O purity and power, Lead on till peace eternal shall close this battle hour: Till all who prayed and struggled to set their brethren free, In triumph meet to praise Thee, most holy Trinity.

I Sleep, But Love Still Waketh

Author: Wilbur F. Tillett Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16361 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: I sleep, but love still waketh Lyrics: 1 I sleep, but love still waketh, To turn the night to day; No leave the heart e’er taketh: Love cannot pass away. However deep the sleeping To loved ones may appear, There is no need for weeping, My heart, my love is here. 2 I sleep, but love still waketh, And lo, the tender care Of Him who never sleepeth Is ’round us everywhere. In waking or in sleeping, No ill can e’er befall Beneath His care and keeping Who watches over all. 3 I sleep, but be not grieving When for a time we part; For though I go, I’m leaving Behind my loving heart. ’Tis not a final rending Of sacred bonds in twain; For love there is no ending; Some day we’ll meet again.
