'Tis a point I long to know

Meter: Irregular Appears in 279 hymnals Topics: Lovest thou Me? Lyrics: 1 'Tis a point I long to know; Oft it causes anxious thought; Do I love the Lord, or no? Am I his, or am I not? 2 If I love, why am I thus? Why this dull, this lifeless frame? Hardly, sure, can they be worse, Who have never heard his name! 3 Could my heart so hard remain, Prayer a task and burden prove, Every trifle give me pain, If I knew a Saviour's love? 4 When I turn my eyes within, All is dark, and vain, and wild, Fill'd with unbelief and sin, Can I deem myself a child? 5 If I pray, or hear, or read, Sin is mix'd with all I do; You who love the Lord indeed, Tell me, Is it thus with you? 6 Yet I mourn my stubborn will, Find my sin a grief and thrall; Should I grieve at what I feel, If I did not love at all! 7 Could I joy his saints to meet, Choose the ways I once abhorr'd, Find, at times, the promise sweet, If I did not love the Lord? 8 Lord, decide this doubtful case! Thou who art the people's sun, Shine upon thy work of grace, If it be indeed begun. 9 Let me love thee more and more, If I love at all, I'll pray; If I have not lov'd before, Help me to begin to day.

Hark, my soul, it is the Lord

Meter: Irregular Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: Lovest thou Me? Lyrics: 1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord; 'Tis thy Saviour, hear his word: Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee: "Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?" 2 "I deliver'd thee, when bound, And, when bleeding, heal'd thy wound, Sought thee wand'ring, set thee right, Turn'd thy darkness into light. 3 "Can a woman's tender care Cease toward the child she bare? Yes, she may forgetful be, Yet will I remember thee. 4 "Mine is an unchanging love, Higher than the heights above; Deeper than the depths beneath-- Free and faithful--strong as death. 5 "Thou shalt see my glory soon, When the work of grace is done; Partner of my throne shalt be, Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?" 6 Lord, it is my chief complaint, That my love is week and faint; Yet I love thee, and adore; O for grace to love thee more! Scripture: John 21:16

Thy promise, faith's anchor, how steadfast and sure! That love, like sweet sunshine, my cold heart can warm, That promise make steady my soul in the storm. 4 Breathe, breathe on my spirit, oft ruffled, thy peace: From restless, vain wishes, bid thou my heart cease; In thee all its longings henceforward shall end, Till, glad, to thy presence my soul shall ascend. 5 Oh, then, blessed Jesus, who once for me died, Made clean in the fountain that gushed from thy side, I shall see thy full glory, thy face shall behold, And praise thee with raptures for ever untold!

Author: Mrs. Dane Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 255 hymnals Topics: Oh, Sing to Me of Heaven Lyrics: 1 Oh, sing to me of heaven, When I am called to die! Sing songs of holy ecstasy, To waft my soul on high! 2 When cold and sluggish drops Roll off my marble brow, Burst forth in strains of joyfulness, Let heaven begin below! 3 When the last moment comes, Oh, watch my dying face, And catch the bright, seraphic gleam Which o'er each feature plays. 4 Then, to my ravished ears, Let one sweet song be given-- Let music charm me last on earth, And greet me first in heaven. 5 Then close my sightless eyes, And lay me down to rest, And clasp my pale and icy hands Upon my lifeless breast. 6 Then round my senseless clay Assemble those I love, And sing of heaven, delightful heaven, My glorious home above.
