Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish

Author: Thomas Moore; Thomas Hastings Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 1,073 hymnals Topics: Visitation Lyrics: Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish; Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel: Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure, Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, "Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure." Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove. Used With Tune: CONSOLATION

Immortal Love, for ever full

Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 311 hymnals Topics: Visitation Lyrics: Immortal Love, for ever full, For ever flowing free, For ever shared, for ever whole, A never-ebbing sea! Our outward lips confess the Name All other names above; Love only knoweth whence it came, And comprehendeth love. We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For him no depths can drown: But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is he; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee. The healing of his seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch him in life's throng and press, And we are whole again. Through him the first fond prayers are said Our lips of childhood frame; The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with his Name. 368 O Lord, and Master of us all, Whate'er our name or sign, We own thy sway, we hear thy call, We test our lives by thine. Amen. Used With Tune: FINGAL

O Lamb of God, still keep me

Author: James G. Deck Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 161 hymnals Topics: Visitation Lyrics: O Lamb of God, still keep me Near to thy wounded side! 'Tis only there in safety And peace I can abide. What foes and snares surround me! What lusts and fears within! The grace that sought and found me Alone can keep me clean. 'Tis only in thee hiding, I feel my life secure; Only in thee abiding, The conflict can endure: Thine arm the victory gaineth O'er every hurtful foe; Thy love my heart sustaineth In all its care and woe. Soon shall my eyes behold thee, With rapture, face to face; One half hath not been told me Of all thy power and grace; Thy beauty, Lord, and glory, The wonders of thy love, Shall be the endless story Of all thy saints above. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Sweet the moments, rich in blessing

Author: James Allen; Walter Shirley Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 830 hymnals Topics: Visitation Lyrics: Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross I spend, Life and health and peace possessing From the sinner's dying Friend. Here I kneel in wonder, viewing Mercy poured in streams of blood; Precious drops, for pardon suing, Make and plead my peace with God. Truly blessed is the station, Low before his cross to lie, While I see divine compassion Pleading in his dying eye. Here I find my hope of heaven, While upon the Lamb I gaze; Loving much, and much forgiven, Let my heart o'erflow with praise. Lord, in loving contemplation Fix my heart and eyes on thee, Till I taste thy full salvation, And thine unveiled glories see. For thy sorrows I adore thee, For the griefs that wrought our peace; Gracious Savior, I implore thee, In my heart thy love increase. Amen. Used With Tune: BATTY

Jesus lives! henceforth is death But the gate of life immortal; This shall calm our trembling breath, When we pass its gloomy portal. Jesus lives! for us he died, Then, alone to Jesus living, Pure in heart may we abide, Glory to our Savior giving. Jesus lives! our hearts know well Naught from us his love shall sever; Life, nor death, nor powers of hell Tear us from his keeping ever. Jesus lives! to him the throne Over all the world is given: May we go where he has gone, Rest and reign with him in heaven. Alleluia! Used With Tune: ST. ALBINUS

In heavenly love abiding

Author: Anna L. Waring Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 584 hymnals Topics: Visitation Lyrics: In heavenly love abiding, No change my heart shall fear, And safe is such confiding, For nothing changes here. The storm may roar without me, My heart may low be laid; But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 206 Wherever He may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim; He knows the way He taketh, And I will walk with Him. Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where the dark clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, The path to life is free; My Savior has my treasure, And He will walk with me. Used With Tune: BENTLEY

How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds

It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds, And drives away our fear. It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary rest. Dear Name, the rock on which I build, My shield and hiding-place, My never-failing treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace. Jesus! my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King, My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought; But when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought. Till then I would thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of thy Name Refresh my soul in death. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Lord, it belongs not to my care

Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 264 hymnals Topics: Visitation Lyrics: Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve thee is my share, And this thy grace must give. If life be long, O make me glad The longer to obey; If short, no labourer is sad To end his toilsome day. Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than he went through before; And he that to God's kingdom comes Must enter by this door. 358 Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet Thy blessed face to see: For if thy work on earth be sweet, What will thy glory be? Then I shall end my sad complaints And weary, sinful days, And join with the triumphant saints That sing my Savior's praise. My knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with him. Amen. Used With Tune: HOLY TRINITY
