How gentle God's commands

Author: Rev. Philip Doddridge Appears in 665 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How gentle God's commands, How kind His precepts are! Come, cast your burdens on the Lord, And trust His constant care. 2 While Providence supports, Let saints securely dwell; That hand, which bears all nature up, Shall guide His children well. 3 Why should this anxious load Press down your weary mind? Haste to your heavenly Father's throne, And sweet refreshment find. 4 His goodness stands approved, Down to the present day; I'll drop my burden at His feet, And bear a song away. Amen.

How oft, alas! this wretched heart

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 316 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How oft, alas! this wretched heart Has wandered from the Lord, How oft my roving thoughts depart, Forgetful of His word. 2 Yet sovereign mercy calls, "Return;" Dear Lord, and may I come? My vile ingratitude I mourn; O take the wanderer home. 3 And canst Thou, wilt Thou yet forgive, And bid my crimes remove? And shall a pardoned rebel live To speak Thy wondrous love? 4 Almighty grace, thy healing power, How glorious, how Divine! That can to bliss and life restore So vile a heart as mine. 5 Thy pardoning love, so free, so sweet, Dear Saviour, I adore; O keep me at Thy sacred feet And let me rove no more. Amen.

How shall I follow Him I serve?

Author: Josiah Conder Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How shall I follow Him I serve? How shall I copy Him I love? Nor from those blessed footsteps swerve, Which lead me to His seat above? 2 Privations, sorrows, bitter scorn, The life of toil, the mean abode, The faithless kiss, the crown of thorn,-- Are these the consecrated road? 3 'Twas thus He suffered, though a Son, Foreknowing, choosing, feeling all, Until the perfect work was done, And drunk the bitter cup of gall. 4 Lord, should my path through suffering lie, Forbid it I should e'er repine; Still let me turn to Calvary, Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine. 5 O let me think how Thou didst leave Untasted every pure delight, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, The toilsome day, the homeless night:-- 6 To faint, to grieve, to die for me! Thou camest, not Thyself to please; And, dear as earthly comforts be, Shall I not love Thee more than these? 7 Yes, I would count them all but loss, To gain the notice of Thine eye: Flesh shrinks and trembles at the cross, But Thou canst give the victory.

Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us,

Author: James Edmeston Appears in 358 hymnals 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, Through 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. Amen.

Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace

Author: William H. Burleigh Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace; Without Thy guiding hand we go astray, And doubts appal, and sorrows still increase; Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way. 2 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth; Unhelped by Thee, in error's maze we grope, While passion stains and folly dims our youth, And age comes on uncheered by faith and hope. 3 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right; Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadows of a moral night, Only with Thee we journey safely on. 4 Lead us, O Father, to Thy heavenly rest, However rough and steep the path may be; Through joy or sorrow, as Thou deemest best, Until our lives are perfected in Thee. Amen.

No, no, it is not dying

Author: Rev. Robinson P. Dunn; Rev. H. A. César Malan Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 No, no, it is not dying To go unto our God; This gloomy earth forsaking, Our journey homeward taking Along the starry road. 2 No, no, it is not dying Heaven's citizen to be; A crown immortal wearing, And rest unbroken sharing, From care and conflict free. 3 No, no, it is not dying To hear this gracious word, "Receive a Father's blessing, For evermore possessing The favor of Thy Lord." 4 No, no, it is not dying The Shepherd's voice to know: His sheep He ever leadeth, His peaceful flock He feedeth, Where living pastures grow. 5 No, no it is not dying To wear a lordly crown; Among God's people dwelling, The glorious triumph swelling Of Him whose sway we own. Amen.

Now the day is over

Author: Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould Appears in 956 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over, Night is drawing nigh, Shadows of the evening Steal across the sky. 2 Now the darkness gathers, Stars begin to peep; Birds, and beasts, and flowers Soon will be asleep. 3 Jesus, give the weary Calm and sweet repose; With Thy tenderest blessing May our eyelids close. 4 Grant to little children Visions bright of Thee; Guard the sailors, tossing On the deep blue sea. 5 Comfort every sufferer Watching late in pain; Those who plan some evil From their sins restrain. 6 Through the long night-watches, May Thine angels spread Their white wings above me, Watching round my bed. 7 When the morning wakens, Then may I arise Pure, and fresh, and sinless In Thy holy eyes. 8 Glory to the Father, Glory to the Son, And to Thee, blest Spirit, Whilst all ages run. Amen.

Now the laborer's task is o'er

Author: Rev. John Ellerton Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now the laborer's task is o'er; Now the battle day is past; Now upon the farther shore Lands the voyager at last. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. 2 There the tears of earth are dried; There its hidden things are clear; There the work of life is tried By a juster Judge than here. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. 3 There the sinful souls, that turn To the cross their dying eyes, All the love of Christ shall learn At His feet in Paradise. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now thy servant sleeping. 4 There no more the powers of hell Can prevail to mar their peace; Christ the Lord shall guard them well, He who died for their release. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. 5 "Earth to earth, and dust to dust," Calmly now the words we say; Left behind, we wait in trust For the resurrection-day. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. Amen.
