Dear Lord, my best desires fulfil

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 258 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:7 Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord, my best desires fulfil, And help me to resign Life, health, and comfort to thy will; And make thy pleasure mine. 2 Why should I shrink at thy command Whose love forbids my fears? Or tremble at the gracious hand That wipes away my tears? 3 No--let me rather freely yield What most I prize to thee, Who never hast a good withheld, Or wilt withhold, from me. 4 Thy favour, all my journey through, Thou art engag'd to grant; What else I want, or think I do, 'Tis better still to want. 5 Wisdom and mercy guide my way: Shall I resist them both? A poor blind creature of a day, And crush'd before the moth? 6 But ah! my inward spirit cries, Still bind me to thy sway; Else the next cloud that veils my skies Drives all these thoughts away.

Author: Johann Franck, 1618-1677; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 119 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:28-29 Lyrics: PART ONE - 1 Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, leave the gloomy haunts of sadness; come into the daylight's splendour, there with joy thy praises render unto him whose grace unbounded hath this wondrous banquet founded: high o'er all the heavens he reigneth, yet to dwell with thee he deigneth. 2 Now I sink before thee lowly, filled with joy most deep and holy, as with trembling awe and wonder on thy mighty works I ponder: how, by mystery surrounded, depth no mortal ever sounded, none may dare to pierce unbidden secrets that with thee are hidden. PART TWO - 3 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, light, who dost my soul enlighten, joy, the sweetest heart e'er knoweth, fount, whence all my being floweth, at thy feet I cry, my Maker, let me be a fit partaker of this blessed food from heaven, for our good, thy glory, given. 4 Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray thee, let me gladly here obey thee; never to my hurt invited, be thy love with love requited: from this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; through the gifts thou here dost give me, as thy guest in heaven receive me.
