Come, rest awhile; 'tis eventide--

Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: Come, rest awhile; 'tis eventide-- The hour to meditation dear; And set the cares of life aside, For God is near. Oh, let a thankful spirit tell The wonders of His heavenly grace, The love that loves us, all too well, Who spurn His grace. Amid our daily life He bears Our cold despite and thankless scorn; As if He gave not rest at eve, And joy at morn. 185 Thou gav'st me, Lord, at early morn, A gift unsullied, for my care; Another day, I might adorn With graces rare. I dare not tell it to my God But oh, that gift's no longer bright; He gave it with the charm of morn, And now 'tis night. O God, 'tis well at eventide, The hour for meditation given, To know we're welcome at Thy side-- Foretaste of heaven. For oh, one precious day misspent, Is all too great a load to bear; But I will lay it at Thy feet, And leave it there.

Have faith in God, the Master said

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: "Have faith in God," the Master said;-- Lord give me faith that I may rest, In calm content, my weary head Upon His breast. A faith like Thine, strong, brave, and sure, Not weak, nor easily dismayed; That through all trials shall endure, Aye unafraid. Then shall I cleave through clouds of doubt, And pass from darkness into day; Put all the muttering hosts to rout, That crowd my way. And I shall make my heart's request,-- Even mountains shall not bar my way; O God, Thou'lt give whate'er is best, Nor long delay.

My God, my Father, make me strong

Mighty Yet Meek

Author: Eli Corwin Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Mighty, yet meek, He comes to seek Lyrics: 1 Mighty, yet meek, He comes to seek And save the lost; to bring us peace, And sweet release, at countless cost, At countless cost. 2 Ye hearts that bleed, the bruisèd reed He will not break. the smoldering fire Shall not expire, He bids it wake, He bids it wake. 3 Prisoners of hope, who helpless grope In dungeon cells; lo, Jesus comes, And from the tombs darkness dispels, Darkness dispels. 4 Behold our king shall judgment bring, And right shall reign. the blind shall see, And captives be unbound again, Unbound again. 5 Haste, bring the light that scatters night; The nations wait, Lord not in vain For Thee to reign in royal state, In royal state. Used With Tune: DAVENPORT Text Sources: Minnetonka Songs by I. H. Baum and J. F. Merry (Cincinnati: John Church, 1879)
