E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 2 Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 3 There let the way appear Steps unto heaven: All that Thou sendest me In mercy given: Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4 Then, with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 5 Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY

I bow my forehead to the dust

Author: John G. Whittier Hymnal: The Hymnal #282 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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. Languages: English Tune Title: PENTATONE

Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Hymnal #296 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Life in Christ Comfort; Comfort; Confidence; Contentment; God Presence, His Abiding; Joy; Meditation Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord, who rises With healing in His wings: When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation We sweetly then pursue The theme of God's salvation, And find it ever new; Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown tomorrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But He will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing Will clothe His people too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed; And He who feeds the ravens Will give His children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig tree neither Their wonted fruit shall bear, Though all the field should wither Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice, For while in Him confiding I cannot but rejoice. Amen. Tune Title: BENTLEY

The days are gone when far and wide my will Drove me astray; And now I fain would climb the arduous hill, That narrow way Which leads through mist and rocks to Thine abode; Toiling for man, and Thee, Almighty God. 3. Whate’er of pain Thy loving hand allot, I gladly bear; Only, O Lord, let peace be not forgot, Nor yet Thy care, Freedom from storms and wild desires within, Peace from the fierce oppression of my sin. 4. So may I, far away, when evening falls On life and love, Arrive at last the holy, happy halls, With Thee above— Wounded yet healed, sin-laden yet forgiven, And sure Thy goodness is my only heaven. Amen. Tune Title: LUX BEATA
