One sweetly solemn thought

Author: P. Cary Appears in 714 hymnals Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er; I am nearer my home today Than I ever have been before; 2 Nearer the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea, Nearer my Father's house, Where the "many mansions" be; 3 Nearer the bound of life, Where we lay our burdens down; Nearer leaving the cross, Nearer gaining the crown; 4 But lying darkly between, Winding down thro' the night, Is the deep and unknown stream To be crossed ere we reach the light. 5 Jesus, perfect my trust, Strengthen the hand of my faith: Let me feel Thee near when I stand On the edge of the shore of death; 6 Feel Thee near when my feet Are slipping over the brink; For it may be I'm nearer home, Nearer now than I think. Used With Tune: AMBROSE

The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. 2 Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed? To do the will of Jesus, this is rest. 3 Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round? On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found. 4 Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away? In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they. 5 Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown? Jesus we know, and He is on the throne. 6 Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours? Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers. 7 It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease, And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace. Used With Tune: PAX TECUM

Thy way, not mine, O Lord

Author: H. Bonar Appears in 404 hymnals Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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. 3 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. Used With Tune: BLESSED HOME

O Lord, the Holy Innocents

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: O Lord, the Holy Innocents Laid down for thee their infant life, And martyrs brave and patient saints Have stood for thee in fire and strife. We wear the cross they wore of old Our lips have learned like vows to make; We need not die; we cannot fight; What may we do for Jesus' sake? O day by day each Christian child Has much to do, without, within; A death to die for Jesus' sake, A weary war to wage with sin. When deep within our swelling hearts The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues, And tears of passion in our eyes; Then we may stay the angry blow, Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for our Lord. With smiles of peace and looks of love, Light in our dwellings we may make, Bid kind good-humour brighten there, And do all still for Jesus' sake. There's not a child so weak and small But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise, That he may do for Jesus' sake. Used With Tune: ALSTONE
