Immortal Love, within whose righteous will

Author: Rev. Stopford A. Brooke Hymnal: HPAG1933 #303 (1950) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Lyrics: 1. Immortal Love, within whose righteous will Is always peace, O pity me, storm-tossed on waves of ill; Let passion cease; Come down in power within my heart to reign, For I am weak, and struggle has been vain. 2. The days are gone when far and wide my will Drove me astray; And now I fain would climb the arduous hill, That narrow way Which leads through mist and rocks to Thine abode; Toiling for man, and Thee, Almighty God. 3. Whate’er of pain Thy loving hand allot, I gladly bear; Only, O Lord, let peace be not forgot, Nor yet Thy care, Freedom from storms and wild desires within, Peace from the fierce oppression of my sin. 4. So may I, far away, when evening falls On life and love, Arrive at last the holy, happy halls, With Thee above— Wounded yet healed, sin-laden yet forgiven, And sure Thy goodness is my only heaven. Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Peace; God Presence, His Abiding; God Will, Doing His; Inner Life, The; Peace, Spiritual; Trust and Confidence Tune Title: LUX BEATA

Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: HPAG1933 #304 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lead us, Heavenly Father, lead us O'er the world's tempestuous sea; Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but Thee, Yet possessing every blessing, If our God our Father be. 2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us; All our weakness Thou dost know; Thou didst tread this earth before us, Thou didst feel its keenest woe; Lone and dreary, faint and weary, Thru the desert Thou didst go. 3 Spirit of our God, descending, Fill our hearts with heavenly joy, Love with every passion blending, Pleasure that can never cloy; Thus provided, pardoned, guided, Nothing can our peace destroy.

O Holy Saviour, Friend unseen

Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: HPAG1933 #306 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Holy Saviour, Friend unseen, The faint, the weak on Thee may lean, Help me, throughout life's varying scene, By faith to cling to Thee. 2 Blest with this fellowship divine, Take what Thou wilt, I'll ne'er repine; E'en as the branches to the vine, My soul would cling to Thee. 3 Though faith and hope may long be tried, I ask not, need not aught beside; How safe, how calm, how satisfied, The souls that cling to Thee! 4 Blest is my lot, whate'er befall; What can disturb me, who appall, While as my Strength, my Rock, my All, Saviour, I cling to Thee?

Jesus, the very thought of Thee

Author: Rev.

How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds

I could not do without Thee

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Hymnal: HPAG1933 #311 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 I could not do without Thee, O Savior of the lost, Whose precious blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, Thy precious blood, must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. 2 I could not do without Thee; I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, beloved Saviour, Art All in all to me, And weakness will be power, If I lean hard on Thee. 3 I could not do without Thee; No other friend can read The spirit's strange deep longings, Interpreting its need; No human heart could enter Each dim recess of mine, And soothe, and hush, and calm it, O blessed Lord, but Thine. 4 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneness The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I."
