Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #99 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Goodness of God in the mission of Christ Lyrics: 1 I was a wand'ring sheep, I did not love the fold, I did not love my Shepherd's voice, I would not be controll'd: I was a wayward child, I did not love my home, I did not love my Father's voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child, He follow'd me o'er vale and hill, O'er deserts waste and wild; He found me nigh to death, Famish'd, and faint, and lone; He bound me with the bands of love, He saved the wand'ring one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is, 'Twas He that loved my soul, 'Twas He that wash'd me in His blood, 'Twas He that made me whole; 'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wand'ring sheep, 'Twas He that brought me to the fold-- 'Tis He that still doth keep. 4 No more a wand'ring sheep, I love to be controll'd, I love my tender Shepherd's voice, I love the peaceful fold: No more a wayward child, I seek no more to roam, I love my Heavenly Father's voice-- I love, I love His home.

Father, how wide Thy glory shines!

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #101 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Goodness of God in the mission of Christ Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide Thy glory shines! How high Thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousand through the skies. 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power, Their motions speak Thy skill, And on the wings of ev'ry hour We read Thy patience still. 3 When sinners break the Father's law, Thy dying Son atones; Oh, the dear mysteries of His cross! The triumph of His groans! 4 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 5 Oh, may I bear some humble part In that immortal song! Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue. Languages: English

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #373 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Goodness of God a ground of trust Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more! The light of His countenance shineth so bright, That here, as in heaven, there need be no night. 2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear; I tremble no more when I see Jesus near; I know that His presence my safeguard will be, For, "Why are you troubled?" He saith unto me. 3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found, When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round: They bear me away in His presence to be: I see Him still nearer whom always I see. 4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face; I shall know how His love went before me each day, And wonder that ever my eyes turn'd away.

I need Thee, precious Jesus

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #382 (1870) Topics: Goodness of God a ground of trust Lyrics: 1 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am full of sin; My soul is dark and guilty, My heart is dead within: I need the cleansing fountain Where I can always flee, The blood of Christ most precious, The sinner's perfect plea. 2 I need Thee, blesséd Jesus, For I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store; I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3 I need Thee, blesséd Jesus, And hope to see Thee soon, Encircled with the rainbow, And seated on Thy throne! There, with Thy blood-bought children, My joy shall ever be, To sing Thy praise, Lord Jesus, To gaze, my Lord, on Thee! Languages: English
