My God, I love Thee--not because

Author: Edward Caswall; Francis Xavier Appears in 216 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee--not because I hope for heaven thereby-- Nor yet because, if I love not, I must forever die. 2 For me to lowest depths of woe Thou didst Thyself abase; For me didst bear the cross and shame, And manifold disgrace. 3 For me didst suffer pains unknown, Blood-sweat and agony, Yea, death itself--all, all for me Who was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessèd Saviour mine, Should I not love Thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward-- But freely, fully, as Thyself Hast lovèd me, O Lord! 6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God, And my eternal King. Amen. Topics: Fruit of the Spirit; Love To Christ; Love To God Used With Tune: HORSLEY

O Lord, my inmost heart and tho't Thy searching eye doth see; Where'er I rest, where'er I go, My ways are known to Thee. 2. Each spoken word, each silent tho't Thou, Lord, dost understand; Before me and behind art Thou, Restraining by Thy hand. 3. If I the wings of morning take To some remotest land, Still I shall be upheld by Thee And guided by Thy hand. 4. From Thee, O Lord, I cannot hide, Tho' darkness cover me; The darkness and the light of day Are both alike to Thee. 5. Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, my tho'ts to know; O lead me, if in sin I stray, In paths of life to go.

God Of Our Life! Thy Various Praise

Author: Ottiwell Heginbothom, 1744-1768 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 52 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of our life! Thy various praise Let mortal voices sound; Thy hand revolves our fleeting days, And brings the seasons round. 2 To Thee shall annual incense rise, Our Father and our friend; While annual mercies from the skies In genial streams descend. 3 In every scene of life, Thy care, In every age, we see; And constant as Thy favors are, So let our praises be. 4 Still may Thy love, in every scene, To every age appear; And let the same compassion deign To bless the opening year. 5 O keep this foolish heart of mine From anxious passions free, Teach me each comfort to resign, And trust my all to Thee. 6 If mercy smile, let mercy bring My wandering soul to God; And in affliction I shall sing, If Thou wilt bless the rod.
