Nearer, my God, to Thee
Author: Sarah F. Adams; H. D. Ganse, d. 1891 Hymnal: KGUG1940 #102 (1940) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,—
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
2 Nearer, my Lord, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
Who to Thy cross didst come
Dying for me.
Strengthen my willing feet,
Hold me in service sweet
Nearer, O Christ, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
3 Nearer, O Comforter,
Nearer to Thee!
Who with my loving Lord
Dwellest with me.
Grant me Thy fellowship,
Help me each day to keep
Nearer, my Guide, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
4 But to be nearer still,
Bring me, O God,
Not by the visioned steeps
Angels have trod.
Here where Thy cross I see,
Jesus, I wait for Thee,
Then evermore to be
Nearer to Thee!
Languages: English; German
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Prayer
Author: Joseph Scriven Hymnal: KGUG1940 #103 (1940) First Line: What a Friend we have in Jesus Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,—
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a Friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,–
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our Refuge,–
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there. Languages: English; German
Prayer
My faith looks up to Thee
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: KGUG1940 #104 (1940) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary;
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
2 May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire.
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee,
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my Guide.
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray,
From Thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream,
Shall o'er me roll,
Blest Savior, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul! Languages: English; German
My faith looks up to Thee
