Author: T. F. Middleton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 83 hymnals First Line: As over the past my memory strays Lyrics: 1 As o'er the past my memory strays,
Why heaves the secret sigh?
'Tis that I mourn departed days,
Still unprepared to die.
2 The world and worldly things beloved,
My anxious thoughts employ'd;
And time unhallowed, unimproved,
Presents a fearful void.
3 Yet, holy Father, wild despair
Chase from my labouring breast;
Thy grace it is which prompts the prayer,
That grace can do the rest.
4 My life's brief remnant all be Thine;
And when Thy sure decree
Bids me this fleeting breath resign,
O speed my soul to Thee.
Hymnal: according to the use of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, 1871

Author: Joseph Swain Appears in 498 hymnals First Line: O thou in whose presence my soul takes delight Lyrics: 1 O Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight,
On whom in affliction I call,
My comfort by day and my song in the night,
My hope, my salva1tion, my all!
2 Where dost Thou, dear Shepherd, resort with Thy sheep,
To feed them in pastures of love?
Say, why in the valley of death should I weep,
Or alone in this wilderness rove?
3 Oh, why should I wander, an alien from Thee,
Or cry in the desert for bread?
Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see,
And smile at the tears I have shed.
4 He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice,
And myriads wait for His word.
He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice,
Re-echoes the praise of the Lord.
5 Dear Shepherd! I hear and will follow Thy call;
I know the sweet sound of Thy voice.
Restore and defend me, for Thou art my all,
And in Thee I will ever rejoice. Topics: Assurance Used With Tune: [O Thou inwhose presence my soul takes delght]

Author: Kenneth C. Moser Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Oft I am so lonely, in this world of care Lyrics: 1 Oft I am so lonely, in this world of care,
But I know in Glory, no sad ones dwell there.
Yes, I know, in Heaven, Jesus waits for me;
When my work is ended, I shall with Him be.
2 When I enter Heaven — city, bright and fair,
He’ll be first to welcome me, a child and heir
To those heav’nly treasures laid, by Christ, in store,
For the weary traveler when this life is o’er.
3 Why, then, should I wander blindly here in sin,
When in Heaven yonder is a crown to win.
O dear Savior, guide me, keep me by Thy side;
May I now and ever in Thy love abide. Used With Tune: LUBBOCK Text Sources: New Victory by Emmet S. Dean (Nashville: National Baptist Publishing Board, 1918)
