"Distresses for Christ's sake"

Author: Mrs. C. Fry Wilson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #386 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: For what shall I praise thee, my God and my King Lyrics: 1 For what shall I praise thee, my God and my King, For what blessings the tribute of gratitude bring? Shall I praise thee for pleasure, for health, or for ease, For the sunshine of youth, for the garden of peace? 2 For this I should praise; but if only for this, I should leave half untold the donation of bliss! I thank bless for sickness, for sorrow, and care, For the thorns I have gathered, the anguish I bear; 3 For nights of anxiety, watching, and tears, A present of pain, a prospective of fears; I praise thee, I bless thee, my Lord and my God, For the good and the evil thy hand hath bestowed!

Shield and Sun, Shepherd, Brother, Lord, and Friend Every precious name in one! I will love thee without end. Languages: English

Loving and Beloved

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Laudes Domini #393 (1890) Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Character of First Line: Do not I love thee, O my Lord? Lyrics: 1 Do not I love thee, O my Lord? Behold my heart, and see; And turn the dearest idol out That dares to rival thee. 2 Is not thy name melodious still To mine attentive ear? Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound, My Saviour's voice to hear? 3 Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock I would disdain to feed? Hast thou a foe, before whose face I fear thy cause to plead? 4 Would not my heart pour forth its blood In honor of thy name? And challenge the cold hand of death To damp the immortal flame? 5 Thou knowest that I love thee, Lord; But, oh, I long to soar Far from the sphere of mortal joys, And learn to love thee more.
