I bow my forehead to the dust

Author: John G. Whittier Hymnal: The Hymnal #282 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: 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

I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on, O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #729 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 To the hills I lift my eyes, the everlasting hills. Streaming forth in fresh supplies, my soul the Spirit feels; will he not his help afford? Help, while yet I ask, is giv'n; God comes down, the God and Lord who made both earth and heav'n. 2 Faithful soul, pray, always pray, and still in God confide; he your stumbling steps shall stay, and shall not let you slide; safe from known or secret roes, free from sin and Satan's hold, when the flesh, earth, hell oppose, he'll keep you in his fold. 3 See the Lord, your keeper, stand omnipotently near. Now he holds you by the hand, and banishes your fear; shadows with his wings your head, guards from all impending harms; round you and beneath are spread the everlasting arms. 4 Christ shall bless your going out, shall bless your coming in; kindly compass you about, till you are saved from sin. Like your spotless Master, you, filled with wisdom, love, and pow'r, holy, pure, and perfect now, both now and evermore. Scripture: Psalm 121 Languages: English Tune Title: AMSTERDAM
