O Love, that wilt not let me go

O Love, that wilt not let me go I rest my weary soul in thee I give Thee back the life I owe That in Thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be O Light, that followest all my way I yield my flickering torch to thee My heart restores its borrowed ray That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day My brighter, fairer be O Joy, that seekest me through pain I cannot close my heart to thee I trace the rainbow through the rain And feel the promise is not vain That morn that tearless be O Cross, that liftest up my head I dare not ask to fly from thee I lay in dust life's glory dead And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be Lyrics: George Matheson, 1882 Music: Albert L. Peace, 1884

When we walk with the Lord (Trust and obey)

When we walk with the Lord In the light of His Word What a glory He sheds on our way While we do His good will He abides with us still And with all who will trust and obey

Refrain: Trust and obey For there’s no other way To be happy in Jesus But to trust and obey

Not a shadow can rise Not a cloud in the skies But His smile quickly drives it away Not a doubt or a fear Not a sigh or a tear Can abide while we trust and obey

Not a burden we bear Not a sorrow we share But our toil He doth richly repay Not a grief or a loss Not a frown or a cross But is blessed if we trust and obey

But we never can prove The delights of His love Until all on the altar we lay For the favor He shows For the joy He bestows Are for them who will trust and obey

Then in fellowship sweet We will sit at His feet Or we’ll walk by His side in the way What He says we will do Where He sends we will go Never fear, only trust and obey

Lyrics: John H. Sammis, 1887 Music: Daniel B. Towner

Title: Give me the faith which can remove Lyrics: Charles Wesley Music: Henry Carey Artist: Judy Panicker

[hymnale]

Give me the faith which can remove

Give me the faith which can remove And sink the mountain to a plain Give me the childlike praying love Which longs to build thy house again Thy love let it my heart o’er-power And all my simple soul devour

I would the precious time redeem And longer live for this alone To spend and to be spent for them Who have not yet my Savior known Fully on these my mission prove And only breathe, to breathe thy love

My talents, gifts, and graces, Lord Into thy blessed hands receive And let me live to preach thy word And let me to thy glory live My every sacred moment spend In publishing the sinner’s friend

Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heart With boundless charity divine So shall I all my strength exert And love them with a zeal like thine And lead them to thy open side The sheep for whom the Shepherd died

Lyrics: Charles Wesley, 1749 Music: Henry Carey, 1732

O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head

O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head Our load was laid on Thee Thou stoodest in the sinner's stead Didst bear all ill for me A Victim led, Thy blood was shed Now there's no load for me Death and the curse were in Thy cup O Christ, 'twas full for Thee But Thou hast drained the last dark drop 'Tis empty now for me That bitter cup, love drank it up Now blessing's draught for me Jehovah lifted up His rod O Christ it fell on Thee You wast so stricken of Thy God There's not one stroke for me Thy tears, Thy blood, beneath it flowed Thy bruising healeth me The tempest's awful voice was heard O Christ, it broke on Thee Thy open bosom was my ward It braved the storm for me Thy form was scarred, Thy visage marred Now cloudless peace for me Jehovah bade His sword awake O Christ, it woke 'gainst thee Thy blood the flaming blade must slake Thine heart its sheath must be All for my sake, my peace to make Now sleeps that sword for me For me, Lord Jesus Thou hast died And I have died in Thee Thou'rt ris'n — my hands are all untied And now Thou liv'st in me When purified, made white and tried Thy glory, then for me Lyrics: Anne R. Cousin, 1824-1906 Music: Ira D. Sankey, 1840-1908

How firm a foundation

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word What more can He say than to you He hath said You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled In every condition, in sickness, in health In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea As thy days may demand, shall thy strength every be Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed For I am thy God and will still give thee aid I'll strengthen and help thee and cause thee to stand Upheld by My righteous omnipotent hand When through the deep waters I call thee to go The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply The flame shall not hurt thee, I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine Even down to old age, all My people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose I will not, I will not desert to its foes That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake I'll never, no never, no never forsake Lyrics: "K" in Rippon's selection, 1787 Music: Joseph Funk, 1832

Eternal Father, strong to save

Eternal Father, strong to save Whose arm hath bound the restless wave Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea O Christ, whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy word Who walkedst on the foaming deep And calm amid the storm didst sleep O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea O Holy Spirit, who didst brood Upon the waters dark and rude And bid their angry tumult cease And give, for wild confusion, peace O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea O Trinity of love and power Our brethren shield in danger's hour From rock and tempest, fire and foe Protect them wheresoe'er they go Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea Lyrics: William Whiting, 1825-78 Music: John B. Dykes, 1861 Source: The Church Hymnary

Beneath the cross of Jesus

Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land A home within a wilderness A rest upon the way From the burning of the noontide heat And the burden of the day O safe and happy shelter O refuge tried and sweet O trysting-place where heaven's love And heaven's justice meet As to the exiled patriarch That wondrous dream was given So seems my Savior's cross to me A ladder up to heaven Upon that cross of Jesus Mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me And from my smitten heart, with tears Two wonders I confess The wonder of His glorious love And my own worthlessness I take, O cross, thy shadow For my abiding-place I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face Content to let the world go by To know no gain nor loss My sinful self my only shame My glory all, the cross Lyrics: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-69 Music: Frederick C. Maker, 1881 Source: The Church Hymnary
