Father, I know that all my life
Author: Miss Anna L. Waring, 1823-1910 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #496 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life
Is portioned out for me;
And the changes that are sure to come
I do not fear to see;
But I ask Thee for a present mind
Intent on pleasing Thee.
2 I ask thee for a thoughtful love,
Through constant watching wise,
To meet the glad with joyful smiles,
And wipe the weeping eyes;
And a heart at leisure from itself,
To soothe and sympathize.
3 I would not have the restless will
That hurries to and fro,
Seeking for some great thing to do,
Or secret thing to know:
I would be treated as a child,
And guided where I go.
4 Wherever in the world I am,
In whatsoe'er estate,
I have a fellowship with hearts
To keep and cultivate;
And a work of lowly love to do
For the Lord on whom I wait.
5 So I ask Thee for the daily strength,
To none that ask denies;
And a mind to blend with outward life,
While keeping at Thy side;
Content to fill a little space,
If Thou be glorified. Languages: English Tune Title: LEBANON
Father, I know that all my life
Lord of life, when foes assail us
Author: Hunter Dodds Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #517 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Lord of life, when foes assail us,
And our hearts are bowed in pain,
Earthly friends can not deliver;
Swords and bucklers, all are vain.
Be our buckler, Thou whose pity
Bore the shame upon the tree:
Man of Sorrows, in our sorrow
We can only trust in Thee.
2 On the darkly heaving billows,
Thou didst walk, and they were still;
Thou canst stay the ills that press us,
They are servants to Thy will.
Thou alone art King of nations,
Lord of life and victory:
Man of Sorrows, in our sorrows
We can only trust in Thee.
3 O subdue our heart's rebellion,
That we faint not nor repine;
Nought of evil can befall us,
That comes down from hand of Thine.
May we, like Thy great disciple,
Meet Thee on the swelling sea:
Man of Sorrows, in our sorrows
We can only trust in Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: SALVATOR

O Holy Spirit, enter in

Among these hearts thy work begin,
Thy temple deign to make us;
Sun of the soul, thou light divine,
Around and in us brightly shine,
To strength and gladness wake us.
Where thou shinest,
Life from heaven there is given;
We before thee
For that precious gift implore thee.
2 Left to ourselves we shall but stray,
O lead us on the narrow way,
With wisest counsel guide us;
And give us steadfastness, that we
May henceforth truly follow thee,
Whatever woes betide us;
Heal thou gently
Hearts now broken, give some token
Thou art near us,
Whom we trust to light and cheer us. A-men.
3 O mighty Rock, O Source of life!
Let thy dear word, 'mid doubt and strife,
Be so within us burning,
That we be faithful unto death
In thy pure love and holy faith,
From thee true wisdom learning.
Lord, thy graces
On us shower; by thy power
Christ confessing,
Let us win his grace and blessing.
4 Grant that our days, while life shall last,
In purest holiness be passed;
Our minds so rule and strengthen
That they may rise o'er things of earth,
The hopes and joys that here have birth;
And if our course thou lengthen,
Keep thou pure, Lord,
From offences, heart and senses;
Blessèd Spirit,
Bid us thus true life inherit.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SCHON LEUCHTET

That I may love what thou dost love
And do what thou wouldst do.

Until my heart is pure,
Until with thee I will one will,
To do and to endure. A-men.
3 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Unite my soul with thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with thy fire divine.
4 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with thee the perfect life
Of thine eternity.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: TRENTHAM

My gracious Lord, I own thy right
Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #488 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 My gracious Lord, I own Thy right
To every service I can pay,
And call it my supreme delight
To hear Thy counsels and obey.
2 What is my being but for Thee,
Its sure support, its noblest end?
'Tis my delight Thy face to see,
And service the cause of such a Friend.
3 I would not sigh for worldly joy,
Or to increase my worldly good;
Nor future days nor powers employ
To spread a sounding name abroad.
4 To Christ my Saviour I would live,
To Him who for my ransom died;
Nor could all worldly honour give
Such bliss as crowns me at His side.
5 His work my hoary age shall bless,
When youthful vigour is no more;
And my last hour of life confess
His dying love, His saving power. Languages: English Tune Title: LASUS
My gracious Lord, I own thy right
Thou art the Way: to Thee alone
Author: Bishop George W. Doane Hymnal: The Hymnal #254 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Inner Life, The Lyrics: 1 Thou art the Way: to Thee alone
From sin and death we flee;
And he who would the Father seek
Must seek Him, Lord, by Thee.
2 Thou art the Truth: Thy word alone
True wisdom can impart;
Thou only canst inform the mind
And purify the heart.
3 Thou art the Life: the rending tomb
Proclaims Thy conquering arm,
And those who put their trust in Thee
Nor death nor hell shall harm.
4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the life:
Grant us that Way to know,
That Truth to keep, that Life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. JAMES
Thou art the Way: to Thee alone
We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen
Author: Anna B. Warner Hymnal: The Hymnal #263 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Inner Life, The Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen
Across this little landscape of our life;
We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen
For the last weariness, the final strife.
2 We would see Jesus, the great Rock Foundation
Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace:
Nor life nor death, with all their agitation,
Can thence remove us, if we see His face.
3 We would see Jesus; sense is all too blinding,
And heaven appears too dim, too far away;
We would see Thee, to gain a sweet reminding
That Thou hast promised our great debt to pay.
4 We would see Jesus: this is all we’re needing;
Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight;
We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading;
Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HENLEY
We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen
O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #302 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Topics: Inner Life Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.

I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.
