Jesus, my Saviour, look on me
Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: The Hymnal #390 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Topics: Visitation Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour! look on me,
For I am weary and opprest;
I come to cast myself on Thee:
Thou art my Rest.
2 Look down on me, for I am weak,
I feel the toilsome journey's length;
Thine aid Omnipotent I seek:
Thou art my Strength.
3 I am bewildered on my way,
Dark and tempestuous is the night;
O send thou forth some cheering ray!
Thou art my Light.
4 When Satan flings his fiery darts,
I look to Thee; my terrors cease;
Thy cross a hiding-place imparts:
Thou art my Peace.
5 Standing alone on Jordan's brink,
In that tremendous, latest strife,
Thou wilt not suffer me to sink:
Thou art my Life.
6 Thou wilt my every want supply
E'en to the end, whate'er befall;
Through life, in death eternally,
Thou art my All.

Jesus, my Saviour, look on me
My God, my Father, while I stray
Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: The Hymnal #391 (1916) Topics: Visitation Lyrics:
My God, my Father, while I stray
Far from my home in life's rough way,
O teach me from my heart to say,
Though dark my path, and sad my lot,
Let me be still and murmur not,
Or breathe the prayer divinely taught,
What though in lonely grief I sigh
For friends beloved, no longer nigh,
Submissive still would I reply,
357
If thou shoulds't call me to resign
What most I prize, it ne'er was mine:
I only yield thee what is thine;
Let but my fainting heart be blest
With thy good Spirit for its guest,
My God, to thee I leave the rest;
Renew my will from day to day,
Blend it with thine, and take away
All that now makes it hard to say,
Then, when on earth I breathe no more
The prayer oft mixed with tears before,
I'll sing upon a happier shore,
"Thy will be done!"
Amen.

My God, my Father, while I stray
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Richard Baxter Hymnal: The Hymnal #392 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Visitation Lyrics:
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve thee is my share,
And this thy grace must give.
If life be long, O make me glad
The longer to obey;
If short, no labourer is sad
To end his toilsome day.
Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than he went through before;
And he that to God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
358
Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet
Thy blessed face to see:
For if thy work on earth be sweet,
What will thy glory be?
Then I shall end my sad complaints
And weary, sinful days,
And join with the triumphant saints
That sing my Savior's praise.
My knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with him.
Amen.

Lord, it belongs not to my care
Lord Jesus, think on me
Author: Synesius, c. 375-430; Allen W. Chatfield Hymnal: The Hymnal #393 (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Visitation Lyrics:
Lord Jesus, think on me,
And purge away my sin;
From earth-born passions set me free,
And make me pure within.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
With care and woe opprest,
Let me thy loving servant be,
And taste thy promised rest.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point thou the heavenly way.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
That, when the flood is past,
I may the eternal brightness see,
And share thy joy at last.
Amen.

Lord Jesus, think on me
Thy way, not mine, O Lord
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Hymnal #394 (1916) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6.6.6 Topics: Visitation Lyrics:
Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
However dark it be:
Lead me by thine own hand:
Choose out the path for me.
Smooth let it be or rough,
It will be still the best;
Winding or straight, it leads
Right onward to thy rest.
I dare not choose my lot;
I would not, if I might;
Choose thou for me, my God:
So shall I walk aright.
Take thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow fill,
As best to thee may seem;
Choose thou my good and ill.
Choose thou for me my friends,
My sickness or my health;
Choose thou my cares for me
My poverty or wealth.
Not mine, not mine the choice,
In things or great or small
Be thou my Guide, my Strength,
My Wisdom, and my All.
Amen.

Thy way, not mine, O Lord
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: The Hymnal #395 (1916) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6.6.6 Topics: Visitation Lyrics:
My Jesus, as thou wilt!
O may thy will be mine!
Into thy hand of love
I would my all resign;
Through sorrow or through joy,
Conduct me as Thine own,
And help me still to say,
My Lord, thy will be done!
360
My Jesus, as thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
Let not my star of hope
Grow dim or disappear;
Since thou on earth hast wept,
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with thee,
My Lord, thy will be done!
My Jesus, as thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with thee:
Straight to my home above
I travel calmly on,
And sing in life or death,
My Lord, thy will be done!
Amen.

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Hymnal #396 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Visitation Lyrics:
Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
Thy sovereign will denies,
Accepted at thy throne of grace
Let this petition rise:
Give me a calm and thankful heart,
From every murmur free;
The blessings of thy grace impart.
And make me live to thee.
Let the sweet hope that thou art mine
My path of life attend:
Thy presence through my journey shine
And crown my journey's end.
Amen.

Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
I look to Thee in every need
Author: Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: The Hymnal #397 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Topics: Visitation Lyrics:
I look to thee in every need,
And never look in vain
I feel thy strong and tender love,
And all is well again:
The thought of thee is mightier far
Than sin, and pain, and sorrow are.
Discouraged in the work of life,
Disheartened by its load,
Shamed by its failures or its fears,
I sink beside the road;
But let me only think of thee,
And then new heart springs up in me.
Thy calmness bends serene above,
My restlessness to still;
Around me flows thy quickening life,
To nerve my faltering will:
Thy presence fills my solitude;
Thy providence turns all to good.
Embosomed deep in thy dear love,
Held in thy law, I stand;
Thy hand in all things I behold,
And all things in thy hand;
Thou leadest me by unsought ways,
And turn'st my mourning into praise.
Amen.

I look to Thee in every need
I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Hymnal #398 (1916) Meter: 10.10.10.6 Topics: Visitation Lyrics:
I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
He moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;
It was not I that found, O Savior true;
No, I was found of thee.
Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold;
I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea--
'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold,
As thou, dear Lord, on me.
I find, I walk, I love, but O the whole
Of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee;
For thou wert long beforehand with my soul,
Always thou lovedst me.
Amen.

I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
At even, when the sun was set
Author: Henry Twells Hymnal: The Hymnal #399 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Visitation Lyrics:
At even, when the sun was set,
The sick, O Lord, around thee lay;
O in what divers pains they met!
O with what joy they went away.
Once more 'tis eventide, and we
Oppressed with various ills draw near;
What if thy form we cannot see?
We know and feel that thou art here
O Savior Christ, our woes dispel;
For some are sick, and some are sad,
And some have never loved thee well,
And some have lost the love they had,
And some have found the world is vain,
Yet from the world they break not free,
And some have friends who give them pain,
Yet have not sought a friend in thee.
363
And none, O Lord, have perfect rest,
For none are wholly free from sin;
And they who fain would love thee best
Are conscious most of wrong within.
O Savior Christ, thou too art Man;
Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried,
Thy kind but searching glance can scan
The very wounds that shame would hide.
Thy touch has still its ancient power;
No word from thee can fruitless fall;
Hear, in this solemn evening hour,
And in thy mercy heal us all.
Amen.
