I am listening, Lord, for thee; What hast thou to say to me? 2 Often through my heart is pealing Many another voice than thine; Many an unwilled echo stealing From the walls of this thy shrine. Let thy longed-for accents fall; Master, speak! and silence all. 3 Master, speak! I do not doubt thee, Though to tearfully I plead; Saviour, Shepherd! oh, without thee Life would be a blank indeed. But I long for fuller light, Deeper love and clearer sight. 4 Speak to me by name, O Master, Let me know it is to me; Speak, that I may follow faster, With a step more firm and free, Where the Shepherd leads the flock. In the shadow of the rock! Scripture: Psalm 25:14 Used With Tune: GRANGE

Author: William W. How Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: O One with God the Father Lyrics: 1 O one with God the Father In majesty and might, The brightness of his glory, Eternal Light of light; O'er this our home of darkness Thy rays are streaming now; The shadows flee before thee, The world's true Light art thou. 2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly:-- O heavenly Light, arise, Dispel these mists that shroud us, And hide thee from our eyes! We long to track the footprints That thou thyself hast trod; We long to see the pathway That leads to thee our God. 3 O Jesus, shine around us With radiance of thy grace; O Jesus, turn upon us The brightness of thy face. We need no star to guide us, As on our way we press, If thou thy light vouchsafest, O Sun of righteousness! Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Used With Tune: SPITTA

Israel, in ancient days

Meter: Irregular Appears in 84 hymnals Topics: Names and Characters of Christ Paschal Lamb Lyrics: 1 Israel, in ancient days, Not only had a view Of Sinai in a blaze, But learn'd the gospel too: Thy types and figures were a glass, In which they saw the Saviour's face. 2 The paschal sacrifice, And blood-besprinkled door, Seen with enlighten'd eyes, And once apply'd with pow'r, Would teach the need of other blood, To reconcile an angry God. 3 The lamb, the dove, set forth His perfect innocence, Whose blood of matchless worth Should be the sou's defence; For he who can for sin atone, Must have no failings of his own. 4 The scape-goat on his head The people's trespass bore, And, to the desert led, Was to be seen no more; In him our surety seem'd to say, "Behold I bear your sins away." 5 Dipt in his fellow's blood, The living bird went free: The type, well understood, Express'd the sinner's plea-- Describ'd the guilty soul enlarg'd, And by the Saviour's death discharg'd. 6 Jesus, I love to trace Throughout the sacred page, The footsteps of thy grace, The same in ev'ry age! O grant that I may faithful be To clearer light vouchsaf'd to me! Scripture: Hebrews 4:2
