Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and his word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made thee mourn, And drove thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

Oh, tis not in grief to harm me, While thy love is left to me; Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with thee. 4 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come, disaster, scorn, and pain! In thy service, pain is pleasure, With thy favor, loss is gain. I have called thee--Abba, Father! I have stayed my heart on thee! Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me.

Ah, tear it thence, and reign alone, the Lord of every motion there! Then shall my heart from earth be free, when it hath found repose in thee. 4 O Love, thy sovereign aid impart to save me from low-thoughted care; chase this self-will through all my heart, through all its latent mazes there; make me thy duteous child, that I ceaseless may 'Abba, Father!' cry. 5 Each moment draw from earth away my heart, that lowly waits thy call; speak to my inmost soul, and say 'I am thy Love, thy God, thy all!'

And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country, That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest! Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

The world's creator wears the form and fashion of a slave; our very flesh our Maker shares, his fallen creatures all to save. 3 For this how wondrously he wrought! A maiden, in her lowly place, became, in ways beyond all thought, the chosen vessel of his grace. 4 Assenting to the angel's word, she chose what God the Spirit willed, and suddenly the promised Lord that pure and hallowed temple filled. 5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall, he lay within the manger bed, and he whose bounty feeds us all at Mary's breast himself was fed. 6 And while the angels in the sky sang praise above the silent field, to shepherds poor the Lord most high, the one great Shepherd, was revealed. 7 All glory for this blessèd morn to God, the source of all, is due; all praise to you, O Virgin-born, all praise, O Holy Ghost, to you.
