Who is this fair one in distress
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #570 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Secret devotion Lyrics:
[Who is this fair one in distress,
That travels from the wilderness?
And pressed with sorrows and with sins,
On her beloved Lord she leans.
This is the spouse of Christ our God,
Bought with the treasure of his blood;
And her request and her complaint
Is but the voice of every saint.]
"O let my name engraven stand
Both on thy heart and on thy hand;
Seal me upon thine arm, and wear
That pledge of love for ever there.
"Stronger than death thy love is known,
Which floods of wrath could never drown;
And hell and earth in vain combine
To quench a fire so much divine.
"But I am jealous of my heart,
Lest it should once from thee depart;
Then let thy name be well impressed
As a fair signet on my breast.
"Till thou hast brought me to thy home,
Where fears and doubts can never come,
Thy count'nance let me often see,
And often thou shalt hear from me.
"Come, my Beloved, haste away,
Cut short the hours of thy delay;
Fly like a youthful hart or roe
Over the hills where spices grow."
Scripture: Song of Solomon 8:5-7 Languages: English
Who is this fair one in distress
God of the morning, at whose voice
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #571 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Secret devotion Lyrics:
God of the morning! at whose voice
The cheerful sun makes haste to rise,
And like a giant doth rejoice
To run his journey through the skies.
From the fair chambers of the east
The circuit of his race begins,
And, without weariness or rest,
Round the whole earth he flies and shines.
O like the sun may I fulfil
Th' appointed duties of the day,
With ready mind and active will
March on and keep my heav'nly way.
[But I shall rove and lose the race,
If God, my sun, should disappear,
And leave me in this world's wild maze,
To follow every wand'ring star.
Lord, thy commands are clean and pure,
Enlight'ning our beclouded eyes;
Thy threat'nings just, thy promise sure,
Thy gospel makes the simple wise.]
Give me thy counsel for my guide,
And then receive me to thy bliss;
All my desires and hopes beside
Are faint and cold compared with this.
Scripture: Psalm 19:5 Languages: English
God of the morning, at whose voice
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #577 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Secret devotion Lyrics:
Thus far the Lord has led me on,
Thus far his power prolongs my days;
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
Much of my time has run to waste,
And I perhaps am near my home;
But he forgives my follies past,
He gives me strength for days to come.
I lay my body down to sleep,
Peace is the pillow for my head;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed.
In vain the sons of earth or hell
Tell me a thousand frightful things
My God in safety makes me dwell
Beneath the shadow of his wings.
[Faith in his name forbids my fear;
O may thy presence ne'er depart!
And in the morning make me hear
The love and kindness of thy heart.
Thus when the night of death shall come,
My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,
And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound.]
Scripture: Psalm 4:8 Languages: English
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Sweet is the prayer whose holy stream
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #728 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion; Secret Prayer Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the prayer whose holy stream
In earnest pleading flows;
Devotion dwells upon the theme,
And warm and warmer glows.
2 Faith grasps the blessing she desires;
Hope points the upward gaze;
And Love, celestial Love inspires
The eloquence of praise.
3 But sweeter far the still small voice
Unheard by human ear,
When God has made the heart rejoice
And dried the bitter tear.
4 No accents flow, no words ascend;
All utterance faileth there;
But sainted spirits comprehend,
And God accepts the prayer.
Sweet is the prayer whose holy stream
Father divine, thy piercing eye
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #729 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion; Secret Prayer
Father divine, thy piercing eye
I love to steal awhile away
Author: Mrs. Brown Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #732 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion; Secret Prayer at Twilight Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away
From every cumb'ring care;
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
2 I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear;
And all his promises to plead,
Where none but God can hear.
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore;
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven:
The prospect does my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.
5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er,
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day. Scripture: Genesis 24:63
I love to steal awhile away
