My spirit on Thy care
Hymnal: ELHL1892 #261 (1893) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My spirit on Thy care,
Blest Saviour, I recline;
Thou wilt not leave me to despair,
For Thou art Love divine.
2 In Thee I place my trust,
On Thee I calmly rest:
I know Thee good, I know Thee just,
And count Thy choice the best.
3 Whate'er events betide,
Thy will they all perform;
Safe in Thy breast my head I hide,
Nor fear the coming storm.
4 Let good or ill befall,
It must be good for me;
Secure of having Thee in all,
Of having all in Thee. Topics: The Christian Life Trust in God Languages: English
My spirit on Thy care
O for a faith that will not shrink
Hymnal: ELHL1892 #262 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O FOR a faith that will not shrink,
Though pressed by many a foe;
That will not tremble on the brink
Of poverty or woe;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod:
But in the hour of grief or pain
Can lean upon its God.
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That, when in danger, knows no fear,
In darkness, feels no doubt,
4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That sin's wild ocean cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile:
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste, e’en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Topics: The Christian Life Resolve and Holiness Languages: English
O for a faith that will not shrink
O God, forsake me not
Hymnal: ELHL1892 #263 (1893) Meter: 6.7 Lyrics: 1 O God, forsake me not!
But lead, full of compassion,
With loving hands Thy child,
That I may gain salvation,
When here my course is run;
Be Thou my Light, my Lot,
My Staff, my Rock, my Shield,--
O God, forsake me not!
2 O God, forsake me not!
Take not Thy Spirit from me,
And suffer not the might
Of sin to overcome me;
Increase my feeble faith,
Which Thou Thyself hast wrought;
Be Thou my Strength and Power--
O God, forsake me not!
3 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, hear my supplication!
In every evil hour
Help me o’ercome temptation;
And when the Prince of hell
My conscience seeks to blot,
Be Thou not far from me--
O God, forsake me not!
4 O God, forsake me not!
Thy mercy I’m addressing;
O Father, God of Love,
Grant me Thy heavenly blessing
To do the duty which
To me Thou didst allot,
To do what pleaseth Thee--
O God, forsake me not!
5 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, I am Thine forever,
Grant me true faith in Thee,
Grant that I leave Thee never;
Grant me a blessed end,
When my good fight is fought,
Help me in life and death--
O God, forsake me not! Topics: The Christian Life Prayer Languages: English
O God, forsake me not
O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Hymnal: ELHL1892 #264 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who through this weary pilgrimage,
Hast all our Fathers led!
2 To Thee our humble vows we raise,
To Thee address our prayer;
And in Thy kind and faithful breast
Deposit all our care.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide,
Give us each day our daily bread
And raiment fit provide.
4 O spread Thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our Father's loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
5 To Thee, as to our covenant God,
We'll our whole selves resign,
And thankful own that all we are,
And all we have, is Thine, Topics: The Christian Life Prayer Languages: English
O God of Jacob, by whose hand
O God, Thou faithful God
Hymnal: ELHL1892 #265 (1893) Meter: 6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O GOD, Thou faithful God,
Thou Fount that ever flowest,
Without whom nothing is,
Who all good gifts bestowest;
A pure and healthy frame
O give me, and within
A conscience free from blame,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 And grant me, Lord, to do,
With ready heart and willing,
Whate'er Thou shalt command:
My calling here fulfilling;
To do it when I ought,
With all my strength; and bless
The work I thus have wrought,
For Thou must give success.
3 O let me never speak
What bounds of truth exceedeth:
Grant that no idle word
From out my mouth proceedeth;
And grant, when in my place
I must and ought to speak,
My words due power and grace,
Nor let me wound the weak.
4 If dangers gather round,
Still keep me calm and fearless;
Help me to bear the cross,
When life is dark and cheerless;
Let me subdue my foe
With words and actions kind;
When counsel I would know,
Good counsel let me find.
5 And let me with all men,
As far as in me lieth,
In peace and friendship live,
And if thy gift supplieth
Me wealth and honor fair,
Then this refuse me not,
That naught be mingled there
Of goods unjustly got.
6 And if a longer life,
Be here on earth decreed me,
And Thou through many a strife
To age at last wilt lead me,
Thy patience on me shed,
Avert all sin and shame,
And crown my hoary head
With pure untarnished fame.
7 Let me depart this life
Confiding in my Saviour;
Do thou my soul receive,
That it may live forever;
And let my body have.
A quiet resting-place
Beside a Christian's grave,
And let it sleep in peace.
8 And on that solemn day
When all the dead are waking,
Stretch o'er my grave Thy hand,
Thyself my slumbers breaking;
Then let me hear Thy voice,
And change this earthly frame,
And bid me aye rejoice
With those who love Thy name. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer Languages: English
O God, Thou faithful God
O Lord, I love Thee from my heart
Hymnal: ELHL1892 #266 (1893) Meter: 8.7.4 Lyrics: 1 O LORD, I love Thee from my heart;
I pray Thee, ne'er from me depart,
With tender mercy cheer me;
I scorn the richest earthly lot,
E'en heaven and earth attract me not,
If only Thou be near me.
Yea, though my heart be like to break,
Thou shalt my Trust that naught can shake,
My Portion and my Comfort be.
Who by Thy blood hast purchased me,
Lord Jesus Christ!
My God and Lord! my God and Lord!
Forsake me not who trust Thy Word.
2 Yea, Lord, 'twas Thy free bounty gave
My body, soul, and what I have
In this poor life of labor;
O grant that I may through Thy grace
Use all my powers to show Thy praise,
And serve and help my neighbor.
From all false doctrine keep me, Lord,
From Satan's lies and malice ward,
In every cross uphold thou me,
That I may bear it patiently,
Lord Jesus Christ!
My God and Lord! my God and Lord!
In death Thy comfort still afford.
3 Ah! Lord, let Thy dear angels come
At my last end to bear me home,
That I may die unfearing;
And in its narrow chamber keep
My body safe in painless sleep
Until Thy reappearing;
And then from death awaken me,
That these mine eyes with joy may see,
O Son of God, thy glorious face,
My Saviour and my Fount of grace!
Lord Jesus Christ!
My prayer attend, my prayer attend,
And I will praise Thee without end. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer Languages: English
O Lord, I love Thee from my heart
O Lord, my best desire fulfill
Hymnal: ELHL1892 #267 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O LORD, my best desire fulfill,
And help me to resign
Life, health, and comfort to Thy will,
And make Thy pleasure mine.
2 Why should I shrink at Thy command,
Whose love forbids my fears?
Or tremble at the gracious hand
That wipes away my tears?
3 No, rather let me freely yield
What most I prize to Thee,
Who never hast a good withheld,
Or wilt withhold, from me.
4 Thy favor, all my journey through,
Thou art engaged to grant:
What else I want, or think I do,
'Tis better still to want.

O Love, who formedst me to wear
Hymnal: ELHL1892 #268 (1893) Lyrics: 1 O LOVE, who formedst me to wear
The image of Thy Godhead here;
Who soughtest me with tender care
Through all my wand'rings wild and drear--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be.

On me Thy choice hast gently laid;
O Love, who here as man wast born
And like to us in all things made--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be.
3 O Love, who once in time wast slain,
Pierced through and through with bitter woe;
O Love, who wrestling thus didst gain
That we eternal joy might know--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be.
4 O Love, of whom is truth and light,
The Word and Spirit, life and power,
Whose heart was bared to them that smite,
To shield us in our trial hour--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be.
5 O Love, who thus hast bound me fast
Beneath that gentle yoke of Thine;
Love, who hast conquered me at last
And rapt away this heart of mine--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be.
6 O Love, who lovest me for aye,
Who for my soul dost ever plead;
O Love, who didst my ransom pay,
Who for me e'er dost intercede--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be.
7 O Love, who once shalt bid me rise
From out this dying life of ours;
O Love, who once above yon skies
Shalt set me in the fadeless bowers--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be, Topics: The Christian Life Resolve and Holiness Languages: English

O that the Lord would guide my ways
Hymnal: ELHL1892 #269 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O THAT the Lord would guide my ways,
To keep His statutes still!
O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!
2 Order my footsteps by Thy Word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep;
And should I e'er forget Thy way,
Restore Thy wandering sheep.

'Tis a delightful road;
Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,
Offend against my God. Topics: The Christian Life Watchfulness Languages: English

One wretched sinner die,
Who diedst Thyself, my soul to save
From endless misery!
Teach me my course to run
While yet I sojourn here
That when Thou comest on Thy throne
I may with joy appear.
2 Thou art Thyself the Way,
Thyself in me reveal;
So shall I pass my life's short day
Obedient to Thy will;
To shall I love my God,
Because He first loved me,
And praise Thee in Thy bright abode,
Through all eternity. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer Languages: English
