If Solomon For Wisdom Prayed

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 If Solomon for wisdom prayed, The Lord before had made him wise; Else he another choice had made, And asked for what the worldlings prize. 2 Thus He invites his people still, He first instructs them how to choose; Then bids them ask whate’er they will, Assured that He will not refuse. 3 Our wishes would our ruin prove, Could we our wretched choice obtain; Before we feel the Savior’s love, Kindle our love to Him again. 4 But when our hearts perceive His worth, Desires, till then unknown, take place; Our spirits cleave no more to earth, But pant for holiness and grace. 5 And dost Thou say, "Ask what Thou wilt?" Lord, I would seize the golden hour; I pray to be released from guilt, And freed from sin and Satan’s power. 6 More of Thy presence, Lord, impart, More of Thine image let me bear; Erect thy throne within my heart, And reign without a rival there. 7 Give me to read my pardon sealed, And from Thy joy to draw my strength; To have Thy boundless love revealed In all its height, and breadth, and length. 8 Grant these requests, I ask no more But to Thy care the rest resign; Sick or in health, or rich or poor, All shall be well if Thou art mine.

Thy Wondrous Testimonies, Lord

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy wondrous testimonies, Lord, my soul will keep and greatly praise; Thy Word, by faithful lips proclaimed, to simplest minds the truth conveys. 2 I thirst for Thy commandments, Lord, and for Thy mercy press my claim; O look on me, and show the grace displayed to all who love Thy name. 3 Direct my footsteps in Thy word, from sin's dominion save my soul, from man's oppression set me free, that I may yield to Thy control. 4 O make Thy face to shine on me, and teach me all Thy laws to keep; because Thy statutes are despised, with overwhelming grief I weep.

By roads that wound uphill and down

Author: Louis F. Benson, 1855-1930 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By roads that wound uphill and down, Beside the lake in Galilee, From house to house, from town to town, Our Lord fulfilled his ministry. 2 He healed the sick; he cured the blind; He sought for those who went astray; He told the lost that God is kind And set them on the homeward way. 3 How blest the homes that knew him then; And holy yet the paths he trod! O gracious heart that loved allmen1 O patient feet that walked with God! 4 Lord Christ, forevermore, the same In heaven as in Galilee, Embolden us to name thy name, To make our lives a ministry. Amen. Topics: Christ Love of; Healing; Home; Christ the Son Life and Ministry Scripture: Psalm 84:4-5 Used With Tune: HESPERUS
