Ah God, my days are dark indeed

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Ah God, my days are dark indeed, How oft this aching heart must bleed! The narrow way how filled with pain, That I must pass ere heaven I gain! How hard to teach this flesh and blood To seek alone th'eternal good! 2 Ah whither now for comfort turn? For Thee, my Jesus, do I yearn; In Thee have I, howe'er distrest, Found ever counsel, aid, and rest; I cannot all forsaken be While still my heart can trust in Thee. 3 Jesus, my only God and Lord, What sweetness in Thy name is stored! So dark and hopeless is no grief But Thy sweet name can bring relief, So keen no sorrows' rankling dart But Thy sweet name can heal my heart. 4 Jesus, my Boast, my Light, my Joy, The Treasure nought can e'er destroy, No words, no song that I can frame Speak half the sweetness of Thy name! They only all its power shall prove Whose hearts have learnt Thy faith and love. 5 Jesus, my Bridegroom and my Crown, If Thou but smile the world may frown, In Thee lie depths of joy untold, Far richer than her richest gold; Whene'er I do but think of Thee, Thy dews drop down and solace me; 6 Let me this flesh and blood control, From sin and shame preserve my soul, And keep me steadfast in the faith, Then I am Thine in life and death: Jesus, Consoler, bend to me! Ah would I were e'en now with Thee!

Refrain: I do not know how long 'twill be, Nor what the future holds for me, But this I know, if Jesus leads me, I shall get home some day. 2 Oftentimes my sky is clear, Joy abounds without a tear, Though a day so bright begun, Clouds may hide tomorrow's sun. There'll be a day that's always bright, A day that never yields to night, And in its light the streets of glory I shall behold some day. [Refrain] 3 Harder yet may be the fight, Right may often yield to might, Wickedness awhile may reign, Satan's cause may seem to gain: There is a God that rules above, With hand of pow'r and heart of love; If I am right, He'll fight my battle, I shall have peace some day. [Refrain] 4 Burdens now may crush me down, Disappointments all around, Troubles speak in mournful sigh, Sorrow through a tear-stained eye: There is a world where pleasure reigns, No mourning soul shall roam its plains, And to that land of peace and glory I want to go some day.

And let this feeble body fail

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 357 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience; Fruits of the Spirit Hope; Happiness of hope; Holy Spirit Fruits of; Hope; Resignation Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it faint and die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long-sought rest, That only bliss for which it pants In the Redeemer's breast. 2 In hope of that immortal crown, I now the cross sustain, And gladly wonder up and down, And smile at toil and pain. I suffer on my threescore years Till my deliverer come, And wipe away his servant's tears, And take his exile home. 3 Oh, what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravish'd eyes Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise! I see a world of spirits bright Who taste the pleasures there! They all are robed in spotless white, And conq'ring palms they bear. 4 Oh, what are all my suff'rings here If, Lord, Thou count me meet, With that enraptured host t'appear, And worship at Thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away: But let me find them all again In that eternal day.
