Father, I know that all my life

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #79 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Self-Consecration Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portion'd out by Thee; The changes that will surely come I do not fear to see: 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 to wipe the weeping eyes; A heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize. 3 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, That seeks 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; A work of lowly love to do For Him on whom I wait. 5 I ask Thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, A mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified. 6 And if some things I do not ask, Among my blessings be, I'd have my spirit filled the more With grateful love to Thee; More careful, not to serve Thee much, But please Thee perfectly.

When I survey the wondrous cross

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #203 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Self-Consecration Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. 3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet? Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Languages: English

Let thoughtless thousands choose the road

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #204 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Self-Consecration Lyrics: 1 Let thoughtless thousands choose the road That leads the soul away from God; This happiness, dear Lord, be mine, To live and die entirely Thine. 2 On Christ, by faith, my soul would live, From Him my life, my all receive; To Him devote my fleeting hours, Serve Him alone with all my powers. 3 Christ is my everlasting all; To Him I look, on Him I call; He will my every want supply, In time, and through eternity. 4 Soon will the Lord, my life, appear; Soon shall I end my trials here; Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain; To live is Christ--to die is gain. 5 Soon will the saints in glory meet, Soon walk through every golden street, And sing on every blissful plain-- To live is Christ--to die is gain.

My drowsy powers, why sleep ye so?

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #205 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Self-Consecration Lyrics: 1 My drowsy powers, why sleep ye so? Awake, my sluggish soul! Nothing has half thy work to do Yet nothing's half so dull. 2 The little ants, for one poor grain, Labor, and toil, and strive; Yet we who have a heaven t' obtain, How negligent we live! 3 We, for whose sake all nature stands, And stars their courses move; We, for whose guard the angel bands Come flying from above; 4 We, for whom God the Son came down, And labored for our good-- How careless to secure that crown He purchased with His blood. 5 Lord, shall we lie so sluggish still! And never act our parts? Come, holy Dove, from the heavenly hill, Renew and warm our hearts. 6 Then shall our active spirits move, Upwards our souls shall rise; With hands of faith and wings of faith, We'll fly and take the prize.

Stand up, my soul, shake off Thy fear

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #206 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Self-Consecration Lyrics: 1 Stand up, my soul, shake off Thy fear, And gird the gospel armor on; March to the gates of endless joy, Where Jesus, thy great Captain's gone. 2 Hell and thy sins resist thy course, But hell and sin are vanquished foes; Thy Saviour nailed them to the cross, And sung the triumph when He rose. 3 Then let my soul march boldly on-- Press forward to the heavenly gate; There peace and joy eternal reign, And glittering robes for conquerors wait. 4 There shall I wear a starry crown, And triumph in Almighty grace, While all the armies of the skies Join in my glorious Leader’s praise.

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #207 (1867) Topics: Self-Consecration Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be; Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought or hoped or known, Yet how rich is my condition, God and heaven are still mine own! 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Savior too; Human hearts and looks deceive me-- Thou art not, like man, untrue; And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate and friends disown me, Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'T will but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. Oh! 'tis not in grief to harm me; While Thy love is left to me; Oh! 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 4 Soul, then know thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin, and fear and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee; Think what Father's smiles are thine; Think that Jesus died to win thee; Child of heaven, can'st thou repine? 5 Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith, and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Languages: English
