Refrain: Dear Spirit, lead me to his side, Where my poor soul I may in safety hide; I place my hand in thine; O take this soul of mine, Lead on till I behold my Lord, Crucified. 2 For thy sure guidance I’ve not always sought, Pride spurred me on to think as others thought, That I alone could surely find the way From nature’s night to realms of endless day. [Refrain] 3 But now I place my trembling hand in thine, And take thy counsel, Lord, instead of mine; Thou know’st the way, thou art a trusted guide, And to my soul can show the Crucified. [Refrain] 4 Sweet Spirit, lead me kindly on I pray, Out of the maze of error’s broad’ning way; For it is death to linger there, or stay— With night so near, encircling life’s short day. [Refrain] 5 I know thou wilt, unworthy tho’ I be, Safe lead me on, my risen Lord to see, My loved ones too, who long have gone before, To join their ranks, at home, to part no more. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Dear Spirit, lead me to the Saviour’s side]

Where Are Your Sheaves?

Author: Jennie E. Hussey Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The bright summer days have been fleeting Refrain First Line: Where, O where are the golden sheaves? Lyrics: 1 The bright summer days have been fleeting, With sunshine and quick’ning show’rs; The harvester’s chorus of greeting Has followed the springtime flow’rs. Refrain: Where, O where are the golden sheaves? Thou hast gathered nought but leaves; Haste, for alas! the harvest may pass, Without any golden grain; Go to sowing and labor long, (Summer ends with a reaper’s song); Sing it again, your harvest refrain, Rejoicing with golden grain. 2 The fields that were white for the reaping, Stand sere in the twilight gray; The harvesters listen with weeping, To hear what their Lord will say. [Refrain] 3 O reaper, go forth to your duty, Or ever the time is past; The King to be hold in his beauty Shall be your reward at last. [Refrain] Scripture: Jeremiah 8:20 Used With Tune: [The bright summer days have been fleeting]

Refrain: Countless mercies! such a boundless store! Countless mercies! pressed and running o’er! Countless mercies! try to count them o’er Till you gaze in wonder at your boundless store. 2 Think of hidden dangers he hath brought you thro’; Think of all the burdens he hath borne for you; Count his words of comfort in your deepest need; Count the times when Jesus proved a Friend indeed. [Refrain] 3 Does your pathway darken ‘neath a cloud of fear? Count your many mercies; dry each bitter tear. Even ‘mid the shadows trust him without fear; “Home will be the sweeter for the dark down here.” [Refrain] 4 As he looks from heaven now on you and me, Don’t you know he chooseth what each day shall be? Trust his loving wisdom, though the hot tears start, Give to him the incense of a grateful heart. [Refrain] Scripture: Lamentations 3:32 Used With Tune: [Are you heavy-laden and with sorrow tried?]
