Show me thy face, one transient gleam

Author: Anon Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Show me thy face, one transient gleam Of loveliness divine, And I shall never think or dream Of other love save thine; All lesser light will darken quite, All lower glories wane, The beautiful of earth will scarce Seem beautiful again. 2 Show me thy face, I shall forget The weary days of yore, The fretting ghosts of vain regret Shall haunt my soul no more. All doubts and fears for future years In quiet trust subside, And naught but blest content and calm Within my breast abide. 3 Show me thy face, the heaviest cross Will then seem light to bear, There will be gain in every loss, And peace with every care. With such light feet the years will fleet, Life seem as brief as blest, Till I have laid my burden down, And entered into rest. Topics: The life of holiness Praise and Thanksgiving

Thank you, Lord, for all your goodness

Author: August Ludvig Storm (1862-1914); Flora Larsson Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Thank you, Lord, for all your goodness Through the years of yesterday; Thank you, too, for present mercies And your blessing on my way. Thank you for each revelation, And for what you choose to hide; Thank you, Lord, for grace sustaining As I in your love abide. 2 Thank you, Lord, for sunlit pathways, Thank you, too, for byways rough; Thank you for the fruitful summers Also for the winters tough. Thank you, Lord, for fragrant flowers Growing right amid the weeds; Thank you for the peace you give me Even when my spirit bleeds. 3 Thank you, Lord, for wayside roses, Even for the thorns beside; Thank you for the prayers you granted And for those that you denied; Thank you, Lord, for precious comfort In my hours of grief and pain; Thank you for your precious promise Life eternal I shall gain.

All scenes alike engaging prove

Author: Jeanne de la Mothe Guyon (1648-1717); William Cowper (1731-1800) Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All scenes alike engaging prove To souls impressed with sacred love; Where’er they dwell, they dwell in thee, In Heaven, in earth, or on the sea. 2 To me remains nor place nor time, My country is in every clime; I can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there. 3 While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none; But with my God to guide my way ‘Tis equal joy to go or stay. 4 My dwelling-place art thou alone; No other can I claim or own, The point where all my wishes meet, My law, my love, life’s only sweet. 5 Then let me to thy throne repair And never be a stranger there; There love divine shall be my guard, And peace and safety my reward.

As pants the hart for cooling streams

Author: Nahum Tate (1652-1715); Nicholas Brady (1659-1726) Appears in 321 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams, When heated in the chase, So longs my soul, O Lord, for thee, And thy refreshing grace. 2 For thee, my God, the living God, My thirsty soul doth pine; O when shall I behold thy face, Thou majesty divine! 3 I sigh to think of happier days, When thou, O Lord, wast nigh, When every heart was tuned to praise, And none more blest than I. 4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Hope still, and thou shalt sing The praise of him who is thy God, Thy health’s eternal spring. Topics: Means of grace Prayer

At even, ere the sun was set

Author: Henry Twells (1823-1900) Appears in 313 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set, The sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more ‘tis eventide, and we, Oppressed with various ills, draw near; What if thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel, For some are sick and some are sad, And some have never loved thee well, And some have lost the love they had. 4 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 5 Thy touch has still its ancient power; No word from thee can fruitless fall; Hear in this solemn evening hour, And in thy mercy heal us all.

Awake, our souls; away, our fears

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Appears in 403 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls; away, our fears! Let every trembling thought be gone; Awake, and run the heavenly race, And put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, ‘tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God That feeds the strength of every saint. 3 O mighty God, thy matchless power Is ever new, and ever young, And firm endures, while endless years Their everlasting circles run. 4 From thee, the ever-flowing spring, Our souls shall drink a fresh supply; While such as trust their native strength Shall melt away and droop and die. 5 Swift as the eagle cuts the air We’ll mount aloft to thine abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire along the heavenly road.

Behold the throne of grace

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Appears in 306 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the throne of grace, The promise calls me near; There Jesus shows a smiling face And waits to answer prayer. 2 My soul, ask what thou wilt, Thou canst not be too bold; Since his own blood for thee he spilt, What else can he withhold? 3 Beyond thy utmost wants His love and power can bless; To praying souls he always grants More than they can express. 4 Thine image, Lord, bestow, Thy presence and thy love; I ask to serve thee here below, And reign with thee above. 5 Teach me to live by faith; Conform my will to thine; Let me victorious be in death, And then in Glory shine.
