Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow
Author: J. Borthwick Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #543 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow
Of the sad heart that comes to Thee for rest;
Cares of today, and burdens of tomorrow,
Blessings implored, and sins to be confest;
We come before Thee at Thy gracious word,
And lay them at Thy feet: Thou knowest, Lord.
2 Thou knowest all the past; how long and blindly
On the dark mountains the lost wand'rer strayed;
How the Good Shepherd followed, and how kindly
He bore it home, upon His shoulders laid;
And healed the bleeding wounds, and soothed the pain,
And brought back life, and hope, and strength again.
3 Thou knowest all the present; each temptation,
Each toilsome duty, each foreboding fear;
All to each one assigned, of tribulation,
Or to beloved ones, than self more dear;
All pensive mem'ries, as we journey on,
Longings for vanished smiles and voices gone.
4 Thou knowest all the future; gleams of gladness
By stormy clouds too quickly overcast;
Hours of sweet fellowship and parting sadness,
And the dark river to be crossed at last.
O what could hope and confidence afford
To tread that path, but this? Thou knowest, Lord.
5 Thou knowest, not alone as God, all-knowing;
As Man, our mortal weakness Thou hast proved;
On earth, with purest sympathies o'erflowing,
O Saviour, Thou hast wept, and Thou hast loved;
And love and sorrow still to Thee may come,
And find a hiding-place, a rest, a home.
6 Therefore we come, Thy gentle call obeying,
And lay our sins and sorrows at Thy feet;
On everlasting strength our weakness staying,
Clothed in Thy robe of righteousness complete:
Then rising and refreshed we leave Thy throne,
And follow on to know as we are known. Languages: English Tune Title: GRASMERE
Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow
There is a land of peace and love
Author: F. Stanfield Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #560 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 There is a land of peace and love,
Where troubled hearts find rest
No gloom, no storm, nor lonely night
Can ever dim th' eternal light
Of that bright home above.
2 No sorrow e'er can reach that shore,
And there no tear shall fall;
Earth's glories all shall pass away,
Lost in the light of endless day,
And grief shall be no more.
3 And oh! when on our raptured gaze
Shall break the sight of God,
Then shall our harboured spirits rest
Wrapt in the vision of the bless'd
Mid songs of ceaseless praise.
4 Then shall life's fevered toil be o'er,
And restless hearts be calm;
Then shall these anxious yearnings cease,
And troubled spirits rest in peace
On Heaven's eternal shore.
5 Fear not, though still earth's dark'ning gloom
O'ershadows life's lone path;
Jesus has shown the heavenward way
Which leads to realms of endless day,
To our dear Father's home. Languages: English Tune Title: STANFIELD
There is a land of peace and love
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Author: J. Borthwick; B. Schmolck Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #547 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
O may Thy will be mine!
In to Thy hand of love
I would my all resign;
Through sorrow or through joy
Conduct me as Thine own,
And help me still to say,
My Lord, Thy will be done.
2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Tho' seen through many a tear,
Let not my star of hope
Grow dim or disappear;
Since Thou on earth hast wept,
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with Thee:
Straight to my home above
I travel calmly on,
And sing in life or death,
My Lord, Thy will be done! Languages: English Tune Title: BROUGHTON
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Forever with the Lord!
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #675a (1894) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord!
Amen! so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
And immortality!
2 Here in the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
3 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul, how near,
At times, to faith's foreseeing eye
Thy golden gates appear!
4 Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above!
5 Then, then I feel that He,
Remembered or forgot,
The Lord, is never far from me,
Though I perceive Him not.
6 So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Forever with the Lord!]

One sweetly solemn thought
Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #676 (1894) Meter: Irregular Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I am nearer my home today
Than I ever have been before;
2 Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea,
Nearer my Father's hose,
Where the "many mansions" be;
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown;
4 But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the deep and unknown stream
To be crossed ere we reach the light.
5 Jesus, perfect my trust,
Strengthen the hand of my faith;
Let me feel Thee near when I stand
On the edge of the shore of death;
6 Feel Thee near when my feet
Are slipping over the brink;
For it may be I'm nearer home,
Nearer now than I think.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [One sweetly solemn thought]
One sweetly solemn thought
Take my life, and let it be
Author: F. R. Havergal Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #551 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
3 Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
5 Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store:
Take myself, and I will be,
Ever, only, all, for Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: IVES
Take my life, and let it be
Blest are the moments, doubly blest
Author: W. Wordsworth Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #533 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Blest are the moments, doubly blest,
That drawn from this one hour of rest,
Are with a ready heart bestowed
Upon the service of our God!
2 Each field is then a hallowed spot,
An altar is in each man's cot,
A church in every grove that spreads
Its living roof above our heads.
3 Look up to heaven, the industrious sun
Already half his race hath run
He cannot halt or go astray,
But our immortal spirits may.
4 Lord, since his rising in the east,
If we have faltered or transgressed,
Guide, from Thy love's abundant source,
What yet remains of this day's course;
5 Help with Thy grace, thro' life's short day,
Our upward and our downward way;
And glorify for us the west,
When we shall sink to final rest. Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM
Blest are the moments, doubly blest
Thro' the day Thy love has spared us
Author: T. Kelly Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #535 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Thro the day Thy love has spared us,
Hear us ere the hour of rest:
Thro' the silent watches guard us,
Let no foe our peace molest;
Jesus, Thou our Guardian be;
Sweet it is to trust in Thee.
2 Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers,
Dwelling in the midst of foes;
Us and ours preserve from dangers;
In Thine arms may we repose;
And, when life's short day is past,
Rest with Thee in heaven at last. Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKDALE
Thro' the day Thy love has spared us
Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
Author: C. L. Smith Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #536 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
For the day is passing by;
See! the shades of evening gather,
And the night is drawing nigh.
2 Deeper, deeper grow the shadows,
Paler now the glowing west,
Swift the night of death advances;
Shall it be the night of rest?
3 Lonely seems the vale of shadow;
Sinks my heart with troubled fear;
Give me faith for clearer vision,
Speak Thou, Lord, in words of cheer.
4 Let me hear Thy voice behind me,
Calming all these wild alarms:
Let me, underneath my weakness,
Feel the everlasting arms.
5 Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying,
Lord, I cast myself on Thee;
Tarry with me through the darkness,
While I sleep, still watch by me.
6 Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
Lay my head upon Thy breast
Till the morning; then awake me!
Morning of eternal rest. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. SYLVESTER
Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
