Written Before Me
Author: Ada R. Habershon Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: What are you writing on the page of life Refrain First Line: Writing, yes, writing as the moments fly Lyrics: 1 What are you writing on the page of life,
Moment by moment is the record made,
Letter by letter, word by word it grows,
Is this a thought that makes your heart afraid?
Refrain:
Writing, yes, writing as the moments fly,
Writing, yes, writing as the days go by,
Writing, yes, writing for God’s holy eye,
What are you writing today?
2 What are you writing in the sight of God,
To His all-seeing eye it all is plain,
Read it with Him and face the record black,
Then let Him wash away each shameful stain? [Refrain]
3 What is He writing in His heav’nly book.
What is the record for eternity,
Has the dark page been made as white as snow,
Or must you face each entry by and by. [Refrain]
4 What is the record written day by day,
Is there an entry of some service sweet,
Some deed of love recorded by Himself,
Which His approval and His smile will greet. [Refrain] Scripture: Isaiah 65:6 Used With Tune: [What are you writing on the page of life]

Written in a Painful Illness
Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Indulgent father, ever gracious God Lyrics:
Indulgent father, ever gracious God,
Low at thy feet submissive I adore
Thy chastening hand, nor murmur at the rod:
Yet thy supporting arm, I must implore.
Thou holy, wise, and kind, O bid my heart
In patient silence wait thy sovereign will!
Sweet consolation let thy voice impart,
And say to every anxious thought "be still."
Say to my heart, that often hath prefer'd
To thy kind ear, the supplicating sigh;
"Be comforted, be strong, thy suit is heard;
Behold my all-sufficient grace is nigh!"
Oft have I wish'd to have my heart refin'd
By cleansing grace; desir'd, and long'd to wear
The bright resemblance of my Saviour's mind,
His gentle, humble virtues copied there.
O may the rod the happy end promote
To humble, cleanse, renew this heart of mine!
And may thy grace assist me to devote
Its powers to thee alone for they are thine!
If the short remnant of my fleeting time
Be near its period; teach, O teach my soul
On faith's fair wing, to reach that blissful clime
Where time's quick-circling wheels no more shall roll!
Oppress'd with pain my feeble powers decay,
The springs of life wear out, the vital flame
Seems quivering near its exit. Is the day
At hand which shall dissolve this mortal frame?
If this frail tottering mansion soon should fall,
Art thou, my soul, prepar'd to take thy flight?
Prepar'd, at thy almighty Father's call,
To quit, with joy, the scenes of mortal night?
Or canst thou patient see death's threatening dart,
And oe'r the expecting grave long-lingering bend,
To drop thy dying partner, loth to part,
While yet thy hopes and wishes upward tend?
What mean these questions?—all depends on thee
My Saviour God: speak to my trembling heart:
[p.56] Say "thou art mine," that word is life to me,
And I can smile at death's tremendous dart!
Whether he threaten long, or sudden rend
This mortal frame, and set my spirit free;
That moment let thy angel guards attend,
And bear me safe to life, to heaven and thee.

Written in Heaven
Written in May, after a seasonable shower of rain
Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: How chang'd the face of nature shows Lyrics:
How chang'd the face of nature shows,
How gay the rural scene!
A fairer bloom the flowers disclose,
The meads a livelier green.
While bounty clothes the fertile vale,
And blossoms on the spray,
And fragrance breathes in every gale,
How sweet the vernal day!
And hark! the feather'd warblers sing!
Tis nature's cheerful voice;
Soft music hails the lovely spring,
And woods and fields rejoice.
How kind the influence of the skies!
These showers, with blessings fraught,
Bid verdure, beauty, fragrance rise,
And fix the roving thought.
O let my wondering heart confess,
With gratitude and love,
The bounteous hand that deigns to bless
The garden, field, and grove.
That bounteous hand my thoughts adore,
Beyond expression kind,
Hath sweeter, nobler gifts in store,
To bless the craving mind.
That hand, in this hard heart of mine
Can make each virtue live,
And kindly showers of grace divine
Life, beauty, fragrance give.
O God of nature, God of grace,
Thy heavenly gifts impart!
And bid sweet meditation trace
Spring blooming in my heart!
Inspir'd to praise I then shall join
Glad nature's cheerful song:
And love and gratitude divine
Attune my joyful tongue.
Written in May, after a seasonable shower of rain
