I could not do without Thee

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 189 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I could not do without Thee, O Savior of the lost, Whose precious blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, Thy precious blood, must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. 2 I could not do without Thee; I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, beloved Saviour, Art All in all to me, And weakness will be power, If I lean hard on Thee. 3 I could not do without Thee; No other friend can read The spirit's strange deep longings, Interpreting its need; No human heart could enter Each dim recess of mine, And soothe, and hush, and calm it, O blessed Lord, but Thine. 4 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneness The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I." Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Love and Communion; Inner Life, The; Love and Communion; Resting in God Used With Tune: JESU DILECTISSIME

Gentle Mary laid her Child

Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her Child Lowly in a manger; There He lay, the Undefiled, To the world a stranger. Such a Babe in such a place, Can He be the Saviour? Ask the saved of all the race Who have found His favor. 2 Angels sang about His birth, Wise Men sought and found Him; Heaven's star shone brightly forth Glory all around Him. Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, Heard the angels singing; All the plains were lit that night, All the hills were ringing. 3 Gentle Mary laid her Child Lowly in a manger; He is still the Undefiled, But no more a stranger. Son of God of humble birth, Beautiful the story; Praise His name in all the earth, Hail! the King of Glory! Amen.

Author: Rev. William George Tarrant Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The fathers built this city In ages long ago, And, busy in its busy streets, They hurried to and fro; The children played around them And sang the songs of yore, Till, one by one, they fell asleep, To work and play no more. 2 Yet still the city standeth, A hive of toiling men, And mother’s love makes happy home For children now as then; O God of ages, help us, Such citizens to be, That children’s children here may sing The songs of liberty! 3 Let all the people praise Thee, Give all Thy saving health, Or vain the laborer’s strong right arm And vain the merchant’s wealth; Send forth Thy light to stablish The glory of the Word, Until this city is become The city of the Lord!
