"A word of Blessing"

Author: Richard Massie Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: O Lord, who by thy presence hast made light Lyrics: 1 O Lord, who by thy presence hast made light The heat and burden of the toilsome day, Be with us also in the silent night, Be with us when the daylight fades away. 2 Oh, speak a word of blessing, gracious Lord! Thy blessing is endued with soothing power; On human hearts worn out with toil, thy word Falls soft and gentle as the evening shower. 3 Come then, O Lord, and deign to be our guest, After the day's confusion, toil, and din; Oh, come to bring us peace, and joy, and rest, To give salvation, and to pardon sin! 4 Bind up the wounds, assuage the aching smart Left in each bosom from the day just past, And let us on a Father's loving heart Forget our griefs, and find sweet rest at last.

Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs

Author: E.H. Bickersteth Appears in 91 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs With trembling hand that from Thy table fall, A weary, heavy-laden sinner comes To plead Thy promise and obey Thy call. 2 I am not worthy to be thought Thy child, Nor sit the last and lowest at Thy board; Too long a wanderer, and too oft beguiled, I only ask one reconciling word. 3 One word from Thee, my Lord, one smile, one look, And I could face the cold, rough world again; And with that treasure in my heart could brook The wrath of devils and the scorn of men. 4 And is not mercy Thy prerogative-- Free mercy, boundless, fathomless, divine? Me, Lord, the chief of sinners, me forgive, And Thine the greater glory, only Thine. 5 I hear Thy voice; Thou bidst me come and rest; I come, I kneel, I clasp Thy piercéd feet; Thou bidst me take my place, a welcome guest Among Thy saints, and of Thy banquet eat. 6 My praise can only breathe itself in prayer. My prayer can only lose itself in Thee; Dwell Thou for ever in my heart, and there, Lord, let me sup with Thee; sup Thou with me.

I Journey Through a Desert

Author: Mary J. D. Walker Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: I journey through a desert drear and wild Lyrics: 1 I journey through a desert drear and wild, Yet is my heart by such sweet thoughts beguiled, Of Him on whom I lean, my strength, my stay, I can forget the sorrows of the day. 2 Thoughts of His love the root of every grace Which finds in this poor heart a dwelling place; The sunshine of my soul, than day more bright, And my calm pillow of repose by night. 3 Thoughts of His sojourn in this vale of tears, The tale of love unfolded in those years Of sinless suffering and patient grace, I love again and yet again to trace. 4 Thoughts of His coming,—for that joyful day In patient hope I watch, and wait, and pray; The dawn draws nigh, the midnight shadows flee, Oh, what a sunrise will that advent be!
