Nearer, My God, to Thee

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: NCH1929 #266 (1929) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1. Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 2. Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 3. There let the way appear, Steps unto heav'n: All that Thou sendest me, In mercy giv'n: Angels to beckon me, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4. Then, with my waking tho'ts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 5. Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!

Since His will is revealed In His written Word, He commands that I walk With my loving Lord. O may I faithful be To His Word alway, Walk with Him, trusting Him Thro' the night and day; Walk with Him, trusting Him Thro' the night and day; 3. Then will I do His will As to me revealed, Nor to doubt nor despair Shall I ever yield, But to Him ever go, Should I be distrest, Knowing well I shall find Comfort there and rest; Knowing well I shall find Comfort there and rest.

O Jesus, Joy of Loving Hearts

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153 Hymnal: NCH1929 #268 (1929) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O Jesus, Joy of loving hearts! Lyrics: 1. O Jesus, Joy of loving hearts! Thou Fount of life! Thou Light of men! From fullest bliss that earth imparts, We turn unfilled to Thee again, We turn unfilled to Thee again. 2. Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood, Thou savest those that on Thee call; To them that seek Thee, Thou art good, To them that find Thee, all in all, To them that find Thee, all in all. 3. We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still; We drink of Thee, the Fountain-head, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. 4. Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, Where'er our change-ful lot is cast, Glad that Thy gracious smile we see, Blest, that our faith can hold Thee fast, Blest, that our faith can hold Thee fast. 6. O Jesus, ever with us stay! Make all our moments calm and bright; Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.

How Tedious and Tasteless

Author: Rev. John Newton Hymnal: NCH1929 #271 (1929) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D First Line: How tedious and tasteless the hours Lyrics: 1. How tedious and tasteless the hours When Jesus no longer I see! Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flow'rs, Have all lost their sweetness for me. The midsummer sun shines but dim; The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in Him, December's as pleasant as May. 2. His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music His voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice: I should, were He always thus nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I; My summer would last all the year. 3. Content with receiving His grace, My all to His pleasure resigned, No changes of season or place Would make any change in my mind: While blest with a sense of his love, A palace a toy would appear; And prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. 4. Dear Lord, if indeed I am Thine, If Thou art my sun and my song, Say, why do I languish and pine, And why are my winters so long? Oh, drive these dark clouds from my sky; Thy soul-cheering presence restore; Or take me to Thee up on high, Where winter and clouds are no more. Amen.

I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice, And it told Thy love to me; But I long to rise on the wings of faith, And be closer drawn to Thee. Refrain: Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To the cross where Thou hast died; Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, To Thy precious, bleeding side. 2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, By the pow'r of grace divine; Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, And my will be merged with Thine. [Refrain] 3. O the pure delight of a single hour That before Thy throne I spend, When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God, I commune as friend with friend! [Refrain] 4. There are depths of love that I cannot know Till I cross the narrow sea; There are heights of joy that I may not reach Till I rest in peace with Thee.

Is Thy Cruse of Comfort Failing

Author: Elizabeth Charles Hymnal: NCH1929 #274 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Is thy cruse of comfort failing? Lyrics: 1. Is thy cruse of comfort failing? Rise and share it with another, And thro' all the years of famine It shall serve thee and thy brother; Love divine will fill thy store-house, Or thy handful still renew; Scanty fare for one will often Make a royal feast for two. 2. For the heart grows rich in giving; All its wealth is living grain; Seeds which mildew in the garner, Scattered, fill with gold the plain. Is thy burden hard and heavy? Do thy steps drag wearily? Help to bear thy brother's burden, God will bear both it and thee. 3. Numb and weary on the mountain, Wouldst thou sleep amidst the snow? Chafe that frozen form beside thee, And together both shall glow. Art thou stricken in life's battle? Many wounded round thee moan; Lavish on their wounds thy balsams, And that balm shall heal thine own. 4. Is the heart a well left empty? None but God its void can fill; Nothing but a ceaseless Fountain Can its ceaseless longings still. Is the heart a living power? Self-entwined, its strength sinks low; It can only live in loving, And by serving love will grow. Topics: The Christian Life Fellowship With Believers Languages: English Tune Title: CARITAS

How Sweet, How Heavenly Is the Sight

Author: Rev. Joseph Swain Hymnal: NCH1929 #275 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How sweet, how heav'nly is the sight Lyrics: 1. How sweet, how heav'nly is the sight, When those that love the Lord In one another's peace delight, And thus fulfill His word. 2. When each can feel each brother's sigh, And with him bear a part; When sorrow flows from eye to eye, And joy from heart to heart. 3. When free from envy, scorn and pride, Our wishes all above, Each can his brother's failings hide, And show a brother's love. 4. When love, in one delightful stream Thro' ev'ry bosom flows; And union sweet, and dear esteem, In ev'ry action glows. 5. Love is a golden chain that binds The happy souls above, And he's an heir of heav'n who finds His bosom glow with love.
