The King of saints, how fair his face
When shall thy love constrain
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals Topics: The Christian Church Growth in Grace Lyrics: 1 When shall thy love constrain,
And force me to thy breast?
When shall my soul return again
To her eternal rest?
2 Ah! what avail my strife,
My wand'ring to and fro?
Thou hast the words of endless life
Ah! whither should I go?
3 Thy condescending grace
To me did freely move;
It calls me still to seek thy face,
And stoops to ask my love.
4 Lord, at thy feet I fall;
I groan to be set free;
I fain would now obey the call,
And give up all for thee. Scripture: Psalm 116:7
When shall thy love constrain

Resting at the Cross
Oh, for a faith that will not shrink
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 706 hymnals Topics: Growth in Grace Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a faith that will not shrink,
Though press'd by ev'ry foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe!--
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chast'ning rod,
But, in the hour of grief or pain,
Can lean upon its God;--
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;--
4 That bears unmoved the world's dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That seas of trouble cannot drown,
Nor Satan's arts beguile;--
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life's last spark is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate'er may come,
We'll taste, e'en here, the hallow'd bliss
Of an eternal home.
Oh, for a faith that will not shrink

One Day Nearer Home
Appears in 92 hymnals Topics: Growth in Grace First Line: O'er the hills the sun is setting Refrain First Line: Nearer, nearer Lyrics: 1 O’er the hills the sun is setting,
And the eve is drawing on;
Slowly drops the gentle twilight,
For another day is gone.
Gone for aye—its race is over;
Soon the darker shades will come;
Still ‘tis sweet to know at evening
That we’re one day nearer home.
Chorus:
Nearer, nearer,
One day nearer home;
Nearer, nearer,
One day nearer home.
2 Worn and weary, oft the pilgrim
Hails the setting of the sun,
For the goal is one day nearer,
And his journey nearly done;
Thus we feel when o’er the life’s desert
Heart and sandal-sore we roam;
As the twilight gathers o’er us,
We are one day nearer home. [Chorus]
3 Nearer home! yes, one day nearer
To our Father’s house on high,
To the green fields and the fountains
Of the land beyond the sky;
For the heavens grow brighter o’er us,
And the lamps hand in the dome,
And our tents are pitched still closer,
For we’re one day nearer home. [Chorus]
4 “One day nearer,” sings the mar’ner,
As he glides the water o’er,
While the light is softly dying
On his distant native shore;
Thus the Christian on life’s ocean,
As his life-boat cuts the foam,
In the evening cries with rapture,
“I am one day nearer home.” [Chorus]
Used With Tune: [O'er the hills the sun is setting]
One Day Nearer Home
