We Have Not Known Thee as We Ought

Author: Thomas Benson Pollock Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #178 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 We have not known thee as we ought, nor learned thy wisdom, grace and pow'r; the things of earth have filled our thought, and trifles of the passing hour. Lord, give us light thy truth to see, and make us wise in knowing thee. 2 We have not feared thee as we ought, nor bowed beneath thine awesome eye, nor guarded deed and word and thought, remembering that God was nigh. Lord, give us faith to know thee near, and grant the grace of holy fear. 3 We have not loved thee as we ought, nor cared that we are loved by thee; thy presence we have coldly sought, and feebly longed thy face to see. Lord, give a pure and loving heart to feel and own the love thou art. 4 We have not served thee as we ought; alas! the duties left undone, the work with little fervor wrought, the battles lost or scarcely won! Lord, give the zeal and give the might, for thee to toil, for thee to fight. 5 When shall we know thee as we ought, and fear and love and serve aright! When shall we, out of trial brought, be perfect in the land of light! Lord, may we day by day prepare to see thy face and serve thee there. Scripture: Nehemiah 1:7 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CHRYSOSTOM

Thou Dost Reign on High

Author: Emily E.S. Elliott Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #241 (1990) Meter: Irregular Topics: Longing for Christ and God First Line: Thou dost reign on high with a kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou dost reign on high with a kingly crown, yet thou camest to earth for me, and in Bethlehem's home was there found no room for thy holy nativity: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, proclaiming thy royal degree; but of lowly birth didst thou come to earth, and in great humility: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee. 3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest, in the shade of the forest tree; but thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God, in the deserts of Galilee: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word that should set thy people free; but with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, they bore thee to Calvary: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, thy cross is my only plea. 5 When heav'n's arches shall ring, and her choirs shall sing, at thy coming to victory, let thy voice call me home, saying, "Yet there is room, there is room at my side for thee." And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, when thou comest and callest for me. Scripture: Matthew 8:20 Languages: English Tune Title: MARGARET

Jesus, merciful and mild

Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #459 (1961) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 Jesus, merciful and mild, Lead me as a helpless child: On no other arm but thine Would my weary soul recline. Thou art ready to forgive, Thou canst bid the sinner live; Guide the wand'rer, day by day, In the strait and narrow way. 2 Thou canst fit me by thy grace For the heav'nly dwelling-place; All thy promises are sure, Ever shall thy love endure; Then what more could I desire, How to greater bliss aspire? All I need, in thee I see; Thou art all in all to me. 3 Jesus, Saviour all Divine, Hast thou made me truly thine? Hast thou bought me by thy blood? Reconciled my heart to God? Hearken to my tender prayer Let me thine own image bear, Let me love thee more and more Till I reach heav'n's blissful shore. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 31:3 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLLINGSIDE
