Would that I were more closely bound

Author: A. L. Waring Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Would that I were more closely bound To my Beloved, who ever lives; Would that my soul were always found Abiding in the peace He gives; Would, that I might more clearly see His love an heritage for me More surely know, more meekly own, His bounteous grace my strength alone! And much I wish but I will pray For wisdom that the lowly find, — And, O my Savior, every day, More of Thy meek and quiet mind. The comfort of a mind at rest From every care Thou hast not blest, A heart from all the world set free, To worship and to wait on Thee. Ah! my Beloved who wilt not die, Whose spirit does not change with mine, Put doubts of my affection by, And make me free to sing of Thine. The more Thy goodness I confess, I shall not surely love Thee less; The more myself alone I see, The farther off I feel from Thee. Thou art my life's restoring rest, In Thee for safety let me hide, — And win me for Thy grateful guest By love that will not be denied. Try me with Thy refining fire, Array me in Thy white attire, Be Wisdom, Righteousness to me, The River of my pleasures be, And fill my life with love of Thee. Scripture: Proverbs 18:24

Would Those Who Thirst For Blood

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Would those who thirst for blood, Thy little flock devour? Lord, change their hearts or check their rage, By Thine almighty power. 2 When dangers compass round, May Thine uplifted arm Restrain or frustrate their designs, Who seek to do us harm. 3 ’Midst savage beasts of prey, Thou art our confidence; From men more savage far than they, Be Thou our sure defense. 4 To Thee, almighty God, In all our straits we come; Do Thou protect us in the way, And bring us safely home.
