"Not your own"

Author: Mrs. E. S. Alderson Appears in 65 hymnals First Line: Lord of glory! thou hast bought us Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory! thou hast bought us, With thy life-blood as the price, Never trudging, for the lost ones, That tremendous sacrifice. 2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord! to yield thee Gladly, freely, of thine own; With the sunshine of thy goodness, Melt our thankless hearts of stone. 3 Wondrous honor hast thou given To our humblest charity, In thine own mysterious sentence, "Ye have done it unto me!" 4 Give us faith, to trust thee boldly, Hope, to stay our souls on thee: But, oh, best of all thy graces Give us thine own charity.

Evening

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 124 hymnals First Line: The swift declining day Lyrics: 1 The swift declining day, How fast its moments fly!

"He knoweth our frame"

Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Yes, he knows the way is dreary Lyrics: 1 Yes, he knows the way is dreary, Knows the weakness of our frame, Knows that hand and heart are weary, He in all points felt the same. He is near to help and bless; Be not weary, onward press. 2 Look to him, who once was willing All his glory to resign, That, for thee the law fulfilling, All his merit might be thine. Strive to follow, day by day, Where his footsteps mark the way. 3 Look to him, the Lord of Glory, Tasting death to win thy life; Gazing on that wondrous story, Canst thou falter in the strife? Is it not new life to know That the Lord hath loved thee so? 4 Look to him, and faith shall brighten, Hope shall soar, and love shall burn, Peace once more thy heart shall lighten; Rise, he calleth thee, return! Be not weary on thy way; Jesus is thy strength and stay.

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 46 hymnals First Line: A mother may forgetful be Lyrics: 1 A mother may forgetful be, For human love is frail; But thy Creator's love to thee, O Zion, cannot fail. 2 No: thy dear name engraven stands, In characters of love, On thine almighty Father's hands, And never shall remove. 3 Before his ever-watchful eye Thy mournful state appears, And every groan, and every sigh, Divine compassion hears. 4 O Zion, learn to doubt no more, Be every fear suppressed; Unchanging truth, and love, and power, Dwell in thy Saviour's breast.

"What hourly dangers!"

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 247 hymnals First Line: Alas! what hourly dangers rise! Lyrics: 1 Alas! what hourly dangers rise! What snares beset my way! To heaven, oh, let me lift mine eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears! My weak resistance, ah, how vain! How strong my foes and fears! 3 O gracious God! in whom I live, My feeble efforts aid; Help me to watch, and pray, and strive, Though trembling and afraid. 4 Increase my faith, increase my hope, When foes and fears prevail; And bear my fainting spirit up, Or soon my strength will fail. 5 Oh, keep me in thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee! And let me never, never stray From happiness and thee. Topics: Christian Experience; Backsliding; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin; Backsliding; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin
