I Sought the Lord, and Afterward I Knew

Author: Anonymous Meter: 10.10.10.6.10.8 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Profession of Faith Lyrics: 1 I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew He moved my soul to seek Him, seeking me; It was not I that found, O Savior true; No, I was found of Thee. It was not I that found, O Savior true; No, I was found of Thee. 2 Thou didst reach forth Thy hand and mine enfold; I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea; ’Twas not so much that I on Thee took hold, As Thou, dear Lord, on me. ’Twas not so much that I on Thee took hold, As Thou, dear Lord, on me. 3 I find, I walk, I love; but O the whole Of love is but my answer, Lord, to Thee! For Thou wert long beforehand with my soul; Always Thou lovedst me. For Thou wert long beforehand with my soul; Always, always Thou lovedst me. Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

O for a Closer Walk with God

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,370 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God, a calm and heav'nly frame, a light to shine upon the road that leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew when first I sought the Lord? Where is the soul refreshing view of Jesus and His Word? 3 What peaceful hours I then enjoyed! How sweet their mem'ry 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. Used With Tune: CAITHNESS

Come, Thou Fount

Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,206 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession First Line: Come, Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount--I'm fixed upon it-- mount of God's unchanging love. 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by Thy help I've come; and I hope, by Thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wand'ring from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood. 3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wand'ring heart to Thee; prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it; seal it for Thy courts above.

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,864 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heav'n to earth come down, fix in us Thy humble dwelling; all Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion; pure, unbounded love Thou art; visit us with Thy salvation; enter ev'ry trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit into ev'ry troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit; let us find the promised rest. Take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; end of faith, as its beginning: set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver; let us all Thy life receive; suddenly return and never, nevermore Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, serve Thee as Thy hosts above, pray and praise Thee without ceasing, glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation; pure and spotless let us be. Let us see Thy great salvation perfectly restored in Thee. Changed from glory into glory, till in heav'n we take our place, till we cast our crowns before Thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Author: George Herbert; John Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 262 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 Teach me, my God and King, in all things Thee to see, and what I do in anything, to do it as for Thee. 2 To scorn the senses’ sway, while still to Thee I tend; in all I do be Thou the Way, in all be Thou the End. 3 All may of Thee partake; nothing so small can be, but draws, when acted for Thy sake, greatness and worth from Thee. 4 If done t'obey Thy laws, e’en servile labors shine; hallowed is toil, if this the cause, the meanest work divine.
