In all my vast concerns with Thee
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 251 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 In all my vast concerns with Thee,
In vain my soul would try
To shun Thy presence, Lord, or flee
The notice of Thine eye.
2 Thy all-surrounding sight surveys
My rising and my rest,
My public walks, my private ways,
The secrets of my breast.
3 My thoughts lie open to Thee, Lord,
Before they're formed within;
And, ere my lips pronounce the word,
Thou know'st the sense I mean.
4 O wondrous knowledge, deep and high!
Where can a creature hide!
Within Thy circling arms I lie,
Beset on every side.
5 So let Thy grace surround me still,
And like a bulwark prove,
To guard my soul from every ill,
Secured by sovereign love. Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
In all my vast concerns with Thee
Let Him to whom we now belong
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Let Him to whom we now belong
His sovereign right assert,
And take up every thankful song,
And every loving heart.
2 He justly claims us for His own,
Who bought us with a price;
The Christian lives to Christ alone,
To Christ alone he dies.
3 Jesus, Thine own at last receive,
Fulfil our hearts' desire,
And let us to Thy glory live,
And in Thy cause expire.
4 Our souls and bodies we resign;
With joy we render Thee
Our all, no longer ours, but Thine
To all eternity. Used With Tune: ST. BERNARD
Let Him to whom we now belong
Lord, I believe a rest remains
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 246 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Lord, I believe a rest remains,
To all Thy people known,
A rest where pure enjoyment reigns,
And Thou art loved alone:
2 A rest, where all our soul's desire
Is fixed on things above;
Where fear, and sin, and grief expire,
Cast out by perfect love.
3 O that I now the rest might know,
Believe, and enter in!
Now, Saviour, now the power bestow,
And let me cease from sin.
4 Remove this hardness from my heart,
This unbelief remove;
To me the rest of faith impart,
The Sabbath of Thy love.
5 I would be Thine, Thou know'st I would,
And have Thee all my own;
Thee, O my all-sufficient Good!
I want, and Thee alone. Used With Tune: REDHEAD, No. 66
Lord, I believe a rest remains
Lord, in the strength of grace
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Lord, in the strength of grace,
With a glad heart and free,
Myself, my residue of days,
I consecrate to thee.
2 Thy ransomed servant, I
Restore to Thee Thy own;
And, from this moment, live or die
To serve my God alone. Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM (II)

Walk in the light: so shalt thou know

That fellowship of love
His Spirit only can bestow
Who reigns in light above.
2 Walk in the light: and thou shalt find
Thy heart made truly his
Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined,
In whom no darkness is.
3 Walk in the light: and thou shalt own
Thy darkness passed away,
Because that light hath on thee shone
In which is perfect day.
4 Walk in the light: and thine shall be
A path, though thorny, bright;
For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee,
And God himself is light. Used With Tune: RICHMOND (CHESTERFIELD)
Walk in the light: so shalt thou know
With joy we meditate the grace
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace
Of our High Priest above;
His heart is made of tenderness,
And yearns with pitying love.
2 Touched with a sympathy within,
He knows our feeble frame;
He knows what sore temptations mean,
For He hath felt the same.
3 He in the days of feeble flesh
Poured our His cries and tears;
And, though exalted, feels afresh
What every member bears.
4 He'll never quench the smoking flax,
But raise it to a flame;
The bruised reed He never breaks,
Nor scorns the meanest name.
5 Then let our humble faith address
His mercy and His power;
We shall obtain delivering grace
In the distressing hour. Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL
With joy we meditate the grace
Come, let us to the Lord our God
Author: Dr. J. Morison, 1749-1798 Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Come, let us to the Lord our God
With contrite hearts return;
Our God is gracious, nor will leave
The desolate to mourn.
2 His voice commands the tempest forth,
And stills the stormy wave;
His arm, though it be strong to smite,
Is also strong to save.
3 Long hath the sight of sorrow reigned;
The dawn shall bring us light;
God shall appear, and we shall rise
With gladness in His sight.
4 Our hearts, if God we seek to know,
Shall know Him and rejoice;
His coming like the morn shall be,
Like morning songs His voice.
5 As dew upon the tender herb,
Diffusing fragrance round;
As showers that usher in the spring,
And cheer the thirsty ground;
6 So shall His presence bless our souls,
And shed a joyful light;
That hallowed morn shall chase away
The sorrows of the night. Used With Tune: ST. PETER
Come, let us to the Lord our God
I am not skilled to understand
Author: Dora Greenwell (1821-1882) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 85 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life; Inner Life, The Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand
What God hath willed, what God hath planned;
I only know that at His right hand
Stands One who is my Saviour!
2 I take God at His word and deed:
“Christ died to save me”— this I read;
And in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my Saviour!
3 And was there then no other way
For God to take?— I cannot say;
I only bless Him, day by day,
Who saved me through my Saviour.
4 That He should leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die,
You count it strange?— so do not I,
Since I have known my Saviour!
4 And O that He fulfilled may see
The travail of His soul in me,
And with His work contented be,
As I with my dear Saviour!
5 Yea, living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring,
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Saviour.
Amen. Used With Tune: ACH GOTT UND HERR
I am not skilled to understand
O Morning Star, how fair and bright

Thou beamest forth in truth and light!
O Sovereign meek and lowly!
Thou Root of Jesse, David's Son,
My Lord and Master, Thou hast won
My heart to serve Thee solely!
Thou art holy,
Fair and glorious, all victorious,
Rich in blessing,
Rule and might o'er all possessing.
2 Thou heavenly Brightness! Light divine!
O deep within my heart now shine,
And make Thee there an altar!
Fill me with joy and strength to be
Thy member, ever joined to Thee
In love that cannot falter;
Toward Thee longing
Doth possess me; turn and bless me;
Here in sadness
Eye and heart long for Thy gladness!
Amen. Used With Tune: FRANKFORT
O Morning Star, how fair and bright
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
Author: Rev. John S. B. Monsell (1811-1875) Meter: 13.10.13.10 Appears in 148 hymnals Topics: Inner Life, The Lyrics: 1 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim;
With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness,
Kneel and adore Him: the Lord is His Name!
2 Low at His feet lay thy burden of carefulness,
High on His heart He will bear it for thee,
Comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter His courts in the slenderness
Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine:
Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
These are the offerings to lay on His shrine.
4 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim;
With gold of obedience and incense of lowliness,
Kneel and adore Him: the Lord is His Name!
Amen. Used With Tune: WAS LEBET, WAS SCHWEBET
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
