Father, I know that all my life

Author: Anna Laetitia Waring (1823-1910) Appears in 231 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; The changes that will surely come, I do not fear to see; I ask thee for a patient mind, Intent on pleasing thee. 2 I ask thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching, wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And wipe the weeping eyes; A heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathise. 3 I ask thee for the daily strength To none that ask denied, A mind to blend with outward life While keeping at thy side; Content to fill a little space If thou be glorified. 4 In service which thy love appoints There are no bonds for me; My secret heart is taught the truth That makes thy children free: A life of self-renouncing love Is one of liberty. 5 Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe’er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts To keep and cultivate, A work of lowly love to do For him on whom I wait.

Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Appears in 1,310 hymnals First Line: Jesus, I my cross have taken Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow thee; Though I be despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be. Refrain: I will follow thee, my Saviour, Thou hast shed thy blood for me; And though all the world forsake thee, By thy grace I’ll follow thee. 2 Perish every fond ambition, All I’ve sought or hoped or known; Yet how rich is my condition, God and Heaven are still my own. 3 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Saviour too; Human hearts and looks deceive me, Thou art not like them, untrue. 4 And while thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might, Foes may hate and friends may shun me, Show thy face and all is bright. 5 O ‘tis not in grief to harm me, While thy love is left to me! O ‘twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy not found in thee! Topics: The life of holiness Consecration and service

All my heart I give thee

Author: Harry Davis (d 1919) Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: Jesus, precious Saviour, thou hast saved my soul Lyrics: 1 Jesus, precious Saviour, thou hast saved my soul, From sin’s foul corruption made me fully whole; Every hour I’ll serve thee, whate’er may befall, Till in Heaven I crown thee King and Lord of all. Refrain: All my heart I give thee, Day by day, come what may. All my life I give thee, Dying men to save. 2 From the lowly manger I will follow thee, In the desert and the strife near thee I will be; E’en the sufferings of the cross I will gladly bear, And with thee in Heaven I a crown shall wear. 3 In the toils and conflicts faithful I will be, All things I will gladly bear, they’ll be good for me; As a saviour of mankind, slaves of sin to bring, Give me holy courage, mighty, mighty King. 4 Precious souls are dying, nerve me for the fight, Help me spread the glorious news, liberty and light; Fiercer gets the contest, Satan’s power shall fall, Then on earth I’ll crown thee glorious Lord of all.
