I bow my forehead to the dust

Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Trust; Confidence; God Presence, His Abiding; Hope; Humility; Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 I bow my forehead to the dust, I veil mine eyes for shame, And urge, in trembling self-distrust, A prayer without a claim. No offering of mine own I have, No works my faith to prove; I can but give the gifts He gave, And plead His love for love. 2 I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies. And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar: No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore. 3 I know not where His islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond His love and care. And Thou, O Lord, by whom are seen Thy creatures as they be, Forgive me if too close I lean My human heart on Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: PENTATONE

Peace! doubting heart; my God's I am

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Abiding, presence of Christ; Afflictions Christ with us in; Christ Abiding with Believers; The Christian Life Comfort and Sympathy; Presence, of Christ ; Suffering Human; Suffering For Christ's ; Peace Of God Lyrics: 1 Peace! doubting heart; my God's I am; Who formed me man, forbids my fear; The Lord hath called me by my name; The Lord protects, for ever near; His blood for me did once atone. And still He loves and guards His own. 2 When passing through the watery deep, I ask in faith His promised aid, The waves an awful distance keep, And shrink from my devoted head; Fearless their violence I dare; They cannot harm, for God is there! 3 To Him mine eye of faith I turn, And through the fire pursue my way; The fire forgets its power to burn, The lambent flames around me play; I own His power, accept the sign, And shout to prove the Saviour mine. 4 When darkness intercepts the skies, And sorrow's waves around me roll, When high the storms of passion rise, And half o'erwhelm my sinking soul, My soul a sudden calm shall feel, And hear a whisper, "Peace: be still!" 5 Still near me, O my Saviour, stand! And guard in fierce temptation's hour; Hide in the hollow of Thy hand; Show forth in me Thy saving power; Still be Thy arms my sure defence; Nor earth nor hell shall pluck me thence.

O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 3 O God, my sins in mercy cover With merits of Thy dying Son! In Him I put my trust securely, He on the cross my pardon won. O God, when toils my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 4 Help me to set mine house in order Betimes, and ever ready be, That when Thou callest, I may answer Lord, as Thou wilt do unto me. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 5 The sorrows and the cross of Jesus Make death-beds soft, and light the grave; They comfort me in hour of parting, And give the grace I fain would have. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 6 From Jesus naught shall ever part me; In faith I touch His pierced side And hail Him Lord, my God and Saviour; Nor life nor death shall us divide.
