O that the Lord would guide my ways

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #89 (1898) 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. 4 Make me to walk in Thy commands; 'Tis a delightful road; Nor let my head, or heart, or hands, Offend against my God.

How precious is the Book divine

Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine, To guide our souls to heaven. 2 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts In this dark vale of tears: Life, light, and joy, it still imparts, And quells our rising fears. 3 This lamp, through all the tedious night Of life, shall guide our way, Till we behold the clearer light Of an eternal day.

My God, accept my heart this day

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #91 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, accept my heart this day, And make it always Thine, That I from Thee no more may stray, No more from Thee decline. 2 Before the cross of Him who died, Behold I prostrate fall; Let every sin be crucified, And Christ be all in all. 3 Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace, Adopt me for Thine own, That I may see Thy glorious face, And worship at Thy throne. 4 May the dear blood once shed for me, My blest atonement prove, That I from first to last may be The purchase of Thy love. 5 Let every thought, and work, and word, To Thee be ever given; Then life shall be Thy service, Lord, And death the gate of heaven.

O For A Faith That Will Not Shrink

Author: W. H. Bathurst Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #127 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink Tho' pressed by ev'ry foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe! 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chast'ning rod, But, in the hour of grief and pain, Will 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 seas of trouble 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 heav'nly 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.

I love to steal awhile away

Author: Phoebe H. Brown Hymnal: Church Book #534 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away From every cumbering care, And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer. 2 I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear, And all His promises to plead Where none but God can hear. 3 I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows cast On Him whom I adore. 4 I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven; The prospect doth my strength renew, While here by tempests driven. 5 Thus when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day.
