My Lord, I Do Not Ask to Stand

Author: Norman Richardson, 1878-1945; Florence Judson-Bradley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1. My Lord, I do not ask to stand As king or prince of high degree; I only pray that hand in hand A child and I may come to Thee. 2. To teach a tender voice to pray, Two childish eyes Thy face to see— Two feet to guide in Thy straight way; This fervently I ask of Thee. 3. O grant Thy patience to impart Thy holy law, Thy words of truth; Give, Lord, Thy grace, that my whole heart May overflow with love for youth. 4. As step by step we tread the way, Trusting, and confident, and free A child and I shall, day by day, Find sweet companionship with Thee. Used With Tune: HESPERUS

By roads that wound uphill and down

Author: Louis F. Benson, 1855-1930 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 By roads that wound uphill and down, Beside the lake in Galilee, From house to house, from town to town, Our Lord fulfilled his ministry. 2 He healed the sick; he cured the blind; He sought for those who went astray; He told the lost that God is kind And set them on the homeward way. 3 How blest the homes that knew him then; And holy yet the paths he trod! O gracious heart that loved allmen1 O patient feet that walked with God! 4 Lord Christ, forevermore, the same In heaven as in Galilee, Embolden us to name thy name, To make our lives a ministry.

Prayerful Desire

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 First Line: O Lord, make haste to hear my cry Lyrics: 1 O Lord, make haste to hear my cry, To Thee I call, on Thee rely. Incline to me a gracious ear, And when I call, in mercy hear. 2 When in the morning unto Thee I lift my voice and bring my plea, Then let my prayer as incense rise To God enthroned above the skies. 3 When unto Thee I look and pray With lifted hands at close of day, Then as the evening sacrifice Let my request accepted rise. 4 Guard Thou my thoughts, I Thee implore, And of my lips O keep Thou the door; Nor leave my sinful heart to stray Where evil footsteps lead the way. 5 O righteous God, Thy chastisement, Though sent thro' foes, in love is sent; Though grievous it will profit me, A healing ointment it shall be. 6 While wickedness my foes devise, To Thee my constant prayer shall rise; When their injustice is o'erthrown Mu gentleness shall still be shown. 7 Brought nigh to death and sore distressed, O Lord, my God, in Thee I rest; Forsake me not, I look to Thee, Let me Thy great salvation see. 8 Themselves entangled in their snare, Their own defeat my foes prepare; O keep me, Lord, for let me fall, Protect and lead me safe through all.

Thou, Lord of Life

Author: Samuel Longfellow Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 First Line: Thou, Lord of life, our saving health Lyrics: 1. Thou, Lord of life, our saving health, Who mak’st Thy suffering ones our care; Our gifts are still our truest wealth, To serve Thee our sincerest prayer. 2. As on the river’s rising tide Flow strength and coolness from the sea, So through the ways our hands provide, May quickening life flow in from Thee; 3. To heal the wound, to still the pain, And strength to failing pulses bring, Till the lame feet shall leap again, And the parched lips with gladness sing. 4. Bless Thou the gifts our hands have brought! Bless Thou the work our hearts have planned, Ours is the faith, the will, the thought; The rest, O God, is in Thy hand. Used With Tune: HESPERUS
