"More love"
Author: Mrs. E. P. Prentiss Appears in 829 hymnals Topics: Afflictions First Line: More love to thee, O Christ` Refrain First Line: More love, O Christ, to thee Lyrics: 1 More love to thee, O Christ,
More love to thee!
Hear thou the pray I make
On bended knee;
This is my earnest plea,--
More love, O Christ, to thee,
More love to thee!
2 Once earthly joy I craved,
Sought peace and rest;
Now thee alone I seek,--
Give what is best;
This all my prayer shall be,--
More love, O Christ, to thee,
More love to thee!
3 Let sorrow do its work,
Send grief and pain;
Sweet are thy messengers,
Sweet their refrain,
When they can sing with me,
More love, O Christ, to thee,
More love to thee!
4 Then shall my latest breath
Whisper thy praise,
This be the parting cry
My heart shall praise;
This still its prayer shall be,--
More love, O Christ, to thee,
More love to thee! Scripture: 2 Peter 3:18 Used With Tune: MORE LOVE

Only lean upon his word;

His unchanging faithfulness.

From his grace are never moved.

God's free grace shall not decay;
He hath promised to fulfill
All the pleasure of his will.
4 Jesus! guardian of thy flock,
Be thyself our constant rock;
Make us by thy powerful hand,
Firm as Zion's mountain stand.

The Saint's Trial and Safety
Appears in 148 hymnals Topics: Afflictions moderated; Grace Tried by Affliction; Saints afflictions moderated; Afflictions moderated; Grace Tried by Affliction; Saints afflictions moderated First Line: Unshaken as the sacred hill Lyrics: 1 Unshaken as the sacred hill,
And firm as mountains stand,
Firm as a rock the soul shall rest,
That trusts th' almighty hand.
2 Not walls nor hills could guard so well
Old Salem's happy ground,
As those eternal arms of love
That every saint surround.
3 While tyrants are a smarting scourge
To drive them near to God,
Divine compassion will assuage
The fury of the rod.
4 Deal gently, Lord, with souls sincere,
And lead them safely on
To the bright gates of paradise,
Where Christ their Lord is gone.
5 But if we trace those crooked ways
That the old serpent drew,
The wrath that drove him first to hell,
Shall smite his followers too. Scripture: Psalm 125

The closer walk
Author: William Cowper Appears in 1,373 hymnals Topics: Afflictions First Line: Oh, for a closer walk with God Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame,--
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
2 Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and his word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb. Scripture: Genesis 5:24 Used With Tune: HERMON

"Where is the blessedness"
Author: John Newton Appears in 343 hymnals Topics: Afflictions First Line: Sweet was the time when first I felt Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt
The Saviour's pardoning blood
Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt,
And bring me home to God.
2 Soon as the morn the light revealed,
His praises tuned my tongue;
And, when the evening shade prevailed,
His love was all my song.
3 In prayer, my soul drew near the Lord,
And saw his glory shine;
And when I read his holy word,
I called each promise mine.
4 Now, when the evening shade prevails,
My soul in darkness mourns;
And when the morn the light reveals,
No light to me returns.
5 Rise, Saviour! help me to prevail,
And make my soul thy care;
I know thy mercy cannot fail,
Let me that mercy share. Scripture: Galatians 4:15 Used With Tune: COOLING

"What hourly dangers!"
Author: Anne Steele Appears in 247 hymnals Topics: Afflictions First Line: Alas! what hourly dangers rise! Lyrics: 1 Alas! what hourly dangers rise!
What snares beset my way!
To heaven, oh, let me lift mine eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.
2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain,
And melt in flowing tears!
My weak resistance, ah, how vain!
How strong my foes and fears!
3 O gracious God! in whom I live,
My feeble efforts aid;
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive,
Though trembling and afraid.
4 Increase my faith, increase, my hope,
When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirit up,
Or soon my strength will fail.
5 Oh, keep me in thy heavenly way,
And bid the tempter flee!
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and thee. Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Used With Tune: COOLING

Consecrated, Lord, to thee,
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of thy love,
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee,
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King.
2 Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from thee,
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as thou shalt choose.
3 Take my will, and make it thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is thine own!
It shall be thy royal throne.
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At thy feet its treasure-store;
Take myself, and I will be,
Ever, only, all, for thee! Scripture: Proverbs 23:26 Used With Tune: CULFORD

Peace
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 103 hymnals Topics: Afflictions; Christians Afflictions First Line: Thou very present Aid Lyrics: 1 Thou very present Aid
In suffering and distress,
The mind which still on thee is stayed,
Is kept in perfect peace.
2 The soul by faith reclined
On the Redeemer's breast,
'Mid raging storms, exults to find
An everlasting rest.
3 Sorrow and fear are gone,
Whene'er thy face appears;
It stills the sighing orphan's moan,
And dries the widow's tears.
4 Jesus, to whom I fly,
Doth all my wishes fill;
What though created streams are dry?
I have the fountain still.
5 Stripped of each earthly friend,
I find them all in One,
And peace and joy which never end,
And heaven, in Christ, alone. Scripture: Job 1:21 Used With Tune: THATCHER
