Author: Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams, 1805-1848 Appears in 2,610 hymnals Topics: Longing For God First Line: Nearer, my God, to Thee Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee; E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, 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 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 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 to Thee. 5 Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upwards I fly; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee.

I could not do without Thee

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 Appears in 192 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ; Christ Preciousness of Christ; Longing For Christ; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Lyrics: 1 I could not do without Thee, O Saviour of the lost, Whose precious blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, Thy precious blood must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. 2 I could not do without Thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, beloved Saviour, Art all in all to me, And perfect strength in weakness Is theirs who lean on Thee. 3 I could not do without Thee, No other friend can read The spirit's strange deep longings, Interpreting its need; No human heart could enter Each dim recess of mine, And soothe and hush and calm it, O blessed Lord, but Thine. 4 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneness The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I."

Come down, O Love divine

Author: Bianco de Siena, d. 1434; Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-90 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: Longing for God Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine, seek now this soul of mine, and visit it with our own ardour glowing; O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing. 2 There let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming; and let your glorious light shine ever on my sight and clothe me round, the while my path illuming. 3 Let holy charity my outward garment be, and lowliness become my inner clothing: true lowliness of heart, which takes the humbler part and for its own shortcomings weeps with loathing. 4 And so the yearning strong, with which the soul will long, shall far outpass the power of human telling; for none can guess its grace till we become the place in which the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

Som tørstige Hjort monne skrige

Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Love to and Longing for God Lyrics: 1 Som tørstige Hjort monne skrige Alt efter det rindende Væld, Saa monne og efter dig hige, O Herre, min tørstige Sjæl; Thi du er den levende Kilde, Og drikke saa gjerne jeg vilde For aldrig at tørste igjen. 2 De Dage og Nætter henskride, Og Sjælen kun lædskes med Graad, Af Sorgen jeg Hænder maa vride, Jeg veed ingen Frelse og Raad, Ak, naar vil dog Gud sig forbarme? Ak, naar maa jeg Ussle og Arme Indgange for Herren at staa? 3 Jeg er udi Hjertet saa bange, De Afgrunde ligge saa nær, Og paa deres Rand maa jeg gange, Det er kun en jammerlig Ferd; Jeg svimler, mig Rædsel nedknuger, Mig Afgrunden visselig sluger– O Herre, o hør mine Skrig! 4 Du er jo min Saligheds-Klippe, Paa dig har jeg bygget mit Hus; Ak, vilde du glemme og glippe, Da synker det straks udi Grus; At bryde de skummende Vover, Og, medens du tøvrer og sover, De lukke sig over min Sjæl. 5 Naar andre til Kirke mon gange, Da sidder jeg her udi Vraa, De kvæde saa liflige Sange, Men jeg maa ei høre derpaa, Min Sang er at sukke og klage; Saa skride de hellige Dage For mig, som de virke, – i Kval. 6 Dog, hvi vil, min Sjæl, du forsage, Hvi bøies, hvi bruser du saa? Lad skride de Nætter og Dage, Og bi paa din Gud, som du maa! Engang skal den Morgen oprinde, Da frelst du, saa glad udi Sinde, Skal takke og love din Gud. 7 Hans Lys og hans Sandhed skal føre Mig op til hans Tempel i Fred, Der Ordet mit Hjerte skal røre. Og glemme jeg skal, hvad jeg leed; Ja selv skal jeg røre min Tunge, Til Salmer for herren at sjunge Til Lov og til Pris for min Gud. Scripture: Psalm 42

Guds salige Godhed og Naade

Author: J. Brunsmand Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Love to and Longing for God Lyrics: 1 Guds salige Godhed og Naade, Som haver ei Maal eller Maade, Sig alle tilkjende har givet, Indbyder os alle til Livet. 2 Den driver os alle og tugter, At bære Omvendelsens Frugter, Og Synden at sky og forlade, Som Helvede selv den at hade; 3 Al verdslig Begjæring forsage, Paa det vi maa Herren behage, Og lever vort høie Kald værdig, Gudfrygtig og tugtig, retfærdig. 4 Og efter hans salig Vilje Og Velbehag stedse os stille, Samt altid med inderlig Længsel At løses og løftes af Fængsel; 5 Den store Guds Komme forvente, Naar han de Udvalte vil hente Med Aander og Englernes Skare, Sin Helligheds Kraft aabenbare; 6 Som leed for os Pine og Smerte, At rense vort syndige Hjerte, Al Ondskab fra os at bortskjære, At vi maa hans Eiendom være; 7 Og stedse i Sind og Aand rene Af Hjertet ham troligen tjene, Den Helligaand ikke bedrøve, I alt Godt os idelig øve. 8 Det giv os, o naadige Fader, Som, ei dine Venner forlader, Paa det vi saa evig dig kunde Lovsynge med Hjerter og Munde!

In Sweet Communion, Lord, with Thee

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 In sweet communion, Lord, with thee I constantly abide; my hand thou holdest in thine own to keep me near thy side. 2 Thy counsel through my earthly way shall guide me and control, and then to glory afterward thou wilt receive my soul. 3 Whom have I, Lord, in heav'n but thee, to whom my thoughts aspire? And, having thee, on earth is naught that I can yet desire? 4 Though flesh and heart should faint and fail, the Lord will ever be the strength and portion of my heart, my God eternally. 5 To live apart from God is death, 'tis good his face to seek; my refuge is the living God, his praise I long to speak.
