O heart of God, so tender!

Author: Dr. J. V. Smith, 1847-1916 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Christian Life Comfort and Sympathy Lyrics: 1 O heart of God, so tender! O love of Christ to me! The treasures of Thy goodness Are vaster than the sea, With boundless grace and mercy The Gospel call is given, That man, bowed down and weary, May sing of Home and Heaven. 2 O heart of God, so constant! Unchanging, true and pure, To-morrow and for ever Thy love is always sure. What though our friends may fail us, And cast our trust aside, Yet closer than a brother Thou dost for e'er abide. 3 O heart of God, so helpful! What matchless power is Thine! No trusting soul can perish Upheld by strength divine. Thy holy arm is ever Our bulwark and defence, The shield of all Thy children, Their joyful confidence. 4 O heart of God, inspire us, With love our spirits blend; May every thought and purpose Like holy prayer ascend, Breathe on us now, O Saviour! Speak to us from above, Fill all our hearts with gladness, The gladness of Thy love. Used With Tune: CENTENARY

Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide

Author: Marcus M. Wells, 1815-1895 Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: Comforter Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, faithful Guide, Ever near the Christian’s side; Gently lead us by the hand, Pilgrims in a desert land; Weary souls fore’er rejoice, While they hear that sweetest voice Whisp'ring softly, “Wand'rer, come! Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.” 2 Ever present, truest Friend, Ever near Thine aid to lend, Leave us not to doubt and fear, Groping on in darkness drear; When the storms are raging sore, Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o’er. Whisp'ring softly, “Wand'rer, come! Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.” 3 When our days of toil shall cease, Waiting still for sweet release, Nothing left but heav'n and prayer, Wond'ring if our names were there; Wading deep the dismal flood, Pleading naught but Jesus’ blood, Whisp'ring softly, “Wand'rer, come! Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.” Amen. Used With Tune: FAITHFUL GUIDE

When Jesus Came Preaching

Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Comfort First Line: When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God With the love that has pow'r to persuade, The sick were made whole, both in body and soul, And even the demons obeyed. But he needed a few he could trust to be true, To share in his work from the start: When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God, God's gift to the humble of heart. 2 Since Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God, What a change in our lives he has made! How many have shared in the joy of their Lord, In self-giving have loved and obeyed! But let none of us doubt what religion's about, Or by what it is shamed and betrayed: Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with God, Is the rule of life Jesus obeyed. 3 Still Jesus comes preaching the Kingdom of God In a world that is sick and afraid; His gospel has spread like the leaven in bread By the love that has a pow'r to persuade. So let none of us swerve from our mission to serve, That has made us his Church from the start, May Jesus, the light of the world, send us out In the strength of the humble of heart. Scripture: Luke 8:1 Used With Tune: SAMANTHRA
