Who Knows How Near My End May Be?
Author: Amilie Juliane; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7557 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Who knows how near my end may be?
Time speeds away, and death comes on;
How swiftly, ah! how suddenly,
May death be here, and life be gone!
My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
2. The world that smiled when morn was come
May change for me ere close of eve;
So long as earth is still my home
In peril of my death I live;
My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
3. Teach me to ponder oft my end,
And ere the hour of death appears,
To cast my soul on Christ her Friend,
Nor spare repentant cries and tears;
My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
4. And let me now so order all,
That ever ready I may be,
To say with joy, whate’er befall,
Lord, do Thou as Thou wilt with me:
My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
5. O Father, cover all my sins
With Jesus’ merits, who alone
The pardon that I covet wins,
And makes His long sought rest our own;
My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
6. Then death may come or tarry yet,
I know in Christ I perish not;
He never will His own forget,
He gives me robes without a spot:
My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
7. And thus I live in God at peace,
And die without a thought or fear,
Content to take what God decrees,
For through His Son my faith is clear;
His grace shall be in death my stay,
And peace shall bless my dying day. Languages: English Tune Title: BRECKNOCK

Thus Far On Life's Bewildering Path
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12604 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Thus far on life’s bewildering path Lyrics: 1 Thus far on life’s bewildering path,
Thus far, Thou, Lord, our steps hast led;
Snatched from the world’s pursuing wrath,
Unharmed, though floods hung o’er our head;
Like ransomed Israel on the shore,
Here, then, we pause, look back, adore.
2 Strangers and pilgrims here below,
Like all our fathers in their day,
We to the land of promise go,
Lord, by Thine own appointed way:
Still guide, illumine, cheer our flight,
In cloud by day, in fire by night.
3 Safety Thy presence is, and rest;
While—as the eagle, o’er her brood
Flutters her pinions, stirs the nest,
Covers, defends, provides them food,
Bears on her wings, instructs to fly—
Thy love prepares us for the sky.
4 Protect us through the wilderness
From fiery tempest, plague, and foe;
With bread from Heav’n Thy people bless,
And living streams where’er we go:
Nor let our rebel hearts repine,
Or follow any voice but Thine.
5 Thy holy law to us proclaim,
But not from Sinai’s top alone;
Hid in the rock cleft, be Thy name,
Thy power and all Thy goodness shown;
And may we never bow the knee,
Or worship any God but Thee.
6 When we have numbered all our years,
And stand, at length, on Jordan’s brink,
Though the flesh fail with mortal fears,
O let not then the spirit sink;
But, strong in faith, and hope, and love,
Plunge through the stream to rise above. Languages: English Tune Title: BRECKNOCK
