Come hither, all ye weary souls

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 323 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come hither, all ye weary souls; Ye heavy-laden sinners, come; I'll give you rest from all your toils, And raise you to my heavenly home. 2 They shall find rest who learn of me; I'm of a meek and lowly mind; But passion rages like the sea, And pride is restless as the wind. 3 Blest is the man whose shoulders take My yoke, and bear it with delight; My yoke is easy to his neck, My grace shall make the burden light. 4 Jesus, we come at thy command; With faith, and hope, and humble zeal, Resign our spirits to thy hand, To mold and guide us at thy will.

With Firm Resolve I Held My Peace

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. With firm resolve I held my peace And spake not either bad or good, Lest I should utter sinful thoughts While wicked men before me stood. 2. While I was dumb my grief was stirred, My heart grew hot with thought suppressed; The while I mused the fire increased, Then to the Lord I made request. 3. Make me, O Lord, to know my end, Teach me the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am And turn from pride and sinful ways. 4. My time is nothing in Thy sight, Behold, my days are but a span; Yea, truly, at his best estate, A breath, a fleeting breath, is man. 5. Man’s life is passed in vain desire If troubled years be spent for gain; He knows not whose his wealth shall be, And all his toil is but in vain. 6. And now, O Lord, what wait I for? I have no hope except in Thee; Let not ungodly men reproach, From all transgressions set me free. 7. Because Thou didst it I was dumb, I spoke no word of rash complaint; Remove Thy stroke away from me, Beneath Thy chastisement I faint. 8. When Thou for his iniquity Rebukest and correctest man, His beauty is consumed away; How weak his strength, how vain his plan. 9. Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry; I weep; be Thou my Comforter. I am a stranger here below, A pilgrim as my fathers were. 10. O spare me, Lord, avert Thy wrath, Deal gently with me, I implore, That I may yet recover strength Ere I go hence and be no more.

While I Keep Silence, and Conceal

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1. While I keep silence, and conceal My heavy guilt within my heart, What torments doth my conscience feel! What agonies of inward smart! 2. I spread my sins before the Lord, And all my secret faults confess; Thy Gospel speaks a pardoning word, Thine Holy Spirit seals the grace. 3. For this shall every humble soul Make swift addresses to Thy seat; When floods of huge temptations roll, There shall they find a blest retreat. 4. How safe beneath Thy wings I lie, When days grow dark and storms appear; And when I walk, Thy watchful eye Shall guide me safe from every snare.

In Lowly Paths

Author: Rev. W. Gladden Appears in 594 hymnals First Line: O Master, let me walk with thee Lyrics: 1. O Master, let me walk with thee In lowly paths of service free; Tell me thy secret, help me bear The strain of toil, the fret o care. 2. Help me the slow of heart to move By some clear winning word of love; Teach me the wayward feet to stay, And guide them in the homeward way. 3. Teach me thy patience; still with thee In closer, dearer company, In work that keeps faith sweet and strong, In trust that triumphs over wrong; 4. In hope that sends a shining ray Far down the future's broad'ning way; In peace that wealth can never give, With thee, O Master, let me live. Topics: Christ Christ With Us Used With Tune: BERA

How Kind The Good Samaritan

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How kind the good Samaritan To him who fell among the thieves! Thus Jesus pities fallen men, And heals the wounds the soul receives. 2 Oh! I remember well the day, When sorely wounded, nearly slain, Like that poor man I bleeding lay, And groaned for help, but groaned in vain. 3 Men saw me in this helpless case, And passed without compassion by; Each neighbor turned away his face, Unmoved by my mournful cry. 4 But He whose name had been my scorn (As Jews Samaritans despise) Came when He saw me thus forlorn, With love and pity in His eyes. 5 Gently He raised me from the ground, Pressed me to lean upon His arm; And into every gaping wound, He poured His own all-healing balm. 6 Unto His church my steps He led, The house prepared for sinners lost; Gave charge I should be clothed and fed, And took upon Him all the cost. 7 Thus saved from death, from want secured, I wait till He again shall come, When I shall be completely cured, And take me to His heavenly home. 8 There through eternal boundless days When nature’s wheel no longer rolls; How shall I love, adore, and praise, This good Samaritan to souls!
