Feeble, helpless, how shall I

Author: William H. Furness Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Feeble, helpless, how shall I Learn to live and learn to die? Who, O God, my guide shall be? Who shall lead Thy child to Thee? 2 Blessed Father, gracious One, Thou hast sent Thy holy Son; He will give the light I need, He my trembling steps will lead. 3 Through this world, uncertain, dim, Let me ever learn on Him; From His precepts wisdom draw, Make His life my solemn law. 4 Thus in deed, and thought, and word, Led by Jesus Christ the Lord, In my weakness, thus shall I Learn to live and learn to die.

Lord, thine heart in love hath yearned

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, thine heart in love hath yearned on thy lost and fallen land; Israel's race is homeward turned, thou hast freed thy captive band. 2 thou hast borne thy people's sin, covered all their deeds of ill; all thy wrath is gathered in, and thy burning anger still. 3 Turn us, stay us, now once more, God of all our health and peace; let thy cloud of wrath fleet o'er, from thine own thy fury cease. 4 Wilt thou ne'er the storm assuage on the realm of thy desire, lengthening out from age to age thy consuming jealous ire? 5 Wilt thou not in mercy turn? Turn, and be our life again, that thy people's heart may burn with the gladness of thy reign. 6 Show us now thy tender love; thy salvation, Lord, impart; I the voice divine would prove, listening in my silent heart: 7 Listening what the Lord will say — 'Peace' to all that own his will: to his saints that love his way, 'Peace', and 'turn no more to ill'. 8 Ye that fear him, night at hand now his saving health ye find, that the glory in our land, as of old, may dwell enshrined. 9 Mercy now and justice meet, peace and truth for aye embrace; truth from earth is springing sweet, justice looks from her high place. 10 Nor will God his goodness stay, nor our land her bounteous store: marking out her Maker's way, Righteousness shall go before.

Crowned with Thorns upon the Tree

Author: H. Grattan Guiness, 1835-1910 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Crowned with thorns upon the tree, Silent in Thine agony; Dying, crushed beneath the load Of the wrath and curse of God. 2. On Thy pale and suffering brow, Mystery of love and woe; On Thy grief and sore amaze, Savior, I would fix my gaze! 3. On Thy holy, loving breast Thou dost bid the weary rest; Rest there from the world’s false ways, Rest there from its vanities. 4. Rest in pardon and relief, From the load of guilt and grief, Rest in Thy redeeming blood, Rest in perfect peace with God. 5. Sin-atoning Sacrifice, Thou art precious in mine eyes; Thou alone my rest shall be, Now and thro’ eternity. Used With Tune: CORNELIUS
