"Keep me ever"

Author: John M. Neale Appears in 178 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9 First Line: Holy Father, thou hast taught me Lyrics: 1 Holy Father, thou hast taught me I should live to thee alone; Year by year thy hand hath brought me On through dangers oft unknown. When I wandered, thou hast found me; When I doubted, sent me light; Still thine arm has been around me, All my paths were in thy sight. 2 In the world will foes assail me, Craftier, stronger far than I; And the strife may never fail me, Well I know, before I die. Therefore, Lord, I come believing Thou canst give the power I need; Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength--the Spirit's strength, indeed. 3 I would trust in thy protection, Wholly rest upon thine arm; Follow wholly thy direction, Thou, mine only guard from harm! Keep me from mine own undoing, Help me turn to thee when tried, Still my footsteps, Father, viewing, Keep me ever at thy side.

I Asked the Lord That I Might Grow

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 134 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Lyrics: 1 I asked the Lord that I might grow in faith and love and ev'ry grace; might more of his salvation know, and seek more earnestly his face. 2 ’Twas he who taught me thus to pray, and he, I trust, has answered pray'r, but it has been in such a way as almost drove me to despair. 3 I hoped that in some favored hour at once he’d answer my request, and by his love’s constraining pow’r subdue my sins and give me rest. 4 Instead of this he made me feel the hidden evils of my heart, and let the angry pow’rs of hell assault my soul in ev'ry part. 5 Yea more, with his own hand he seemed intent to aggravate my woe, crossed all the fair designs I schemed, humbled my heart, and laid me low. 6 "Lord, why is this?" I, trembling, cried; "Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death?" "Tis in this way," the Lord replied, "I answer prayer for grace and faith. 7 "These inward trials I employ from self and pride to set thee free, and break thy schemes of earthly joy that thou may’st find thy all in me."
