Hope in darkness

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Hope First Line: O God, my sun, thy blissful rays Lyrics: 1 O God, my sun, thy blissful rays Irradiate, warm, and guide my heart! How dark, how mournful, are my days, If thy enlivening beams depart! 2 Scarce thro' the shades, a glimpse of day Appears to these desiring eyes! But shall my drooping spirit say, The cheerful morn will never rise? 3 O let me not despairing mourn, Tho' gloomy darkness spreads the sky; My glorious sun will yet return, And night with all its horrors fly. 4 O for the bright, the joyful day, When hope shall in assurance die! So tapers lose their feeble ray, Beneath the sun's refulgent eye.

Knowledge at present imperfect

Author: Fawcett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 147 hymnals Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Knowledge First Line: Thy way, O God, is in the sea Lyrics: 1 Thy way, O God, is in the sea, Thy paths I cannot trace; Nor comprehend the mystery Of thy unbounded Grace. 2 Here the dark veils of flesh and sense, My captive soul surround; Mysterious deeps of providence My wandering thoughts confound. 3 When I behold thy awful hand My earthly hopes destroy; In deep astonishment I stand, And ask the reason, why? 4 As thro' a glass, I dimly see The wonders of thy love; How little do I know of thee, Or of the joys above! 5 'Tis but in part I know thy will, I bless thee for the sight; When will thy love the rest reveal, In glory's clearer light? 6 With raptures shall I then survey Thy providence, and grace; And spend an everlasting day In wonder, love, and praise.

Loves thou me?

Author: Newton Appears in 280 hymnals Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Love of Christ First Line: 'Tis a point I long to know Lyrics: 1 'Tis a point I long to know, Oft it causes anxious thought; Do I love the Lord, or no? Am I his, or am I not? 2 If I love, why am I thus? Why this dull and lifeless frame? Hardly, sure, can they be worse, Who have never heard his name. 3 [Could my heart so hard remain, Prayer a task and burden prove; Every trifle give me pain, If I knew a savior's love? 4 When I turn my eyes within, All is dark, and vain, and wild; Fill'd with unbelief and sin, Can I deem myself a child?] 5 If I pray, or hear, or read, Sin is mix'd with all I do; You who love the Lord indeed, Tell me is it thus with you? 6 Yet I mourn my stubborn will, Find my sin a grief and thrall; Should I grieve at what I feel, If I did not love at all? 7 [Could I joy his saints to meet, Choose the ways I once abhor'd; Find, at times, the promise sweet If I did not love the Lord?] 8 Lord, decide the doubtful case! Thou, who art the people's sun; Since upon thy work of grace, If it be indeed begun. 9 Let me love thee more and more, If I love at all, I pray; If I have not lov'd before, Help me to begin to-day. Scripture: John 21:16

Paternal goodness marks thy name; Thy praises thro' thy high abode, The heavenly hosts with joy proclaim. 2 Freely thou gav'st thy dearest son, For man to suffer, bleed, and die; And bid'st me as a wretch undone, For all I want on him rely. 3 In him thy reconciled face, With joy unspeakable I see; And feel thy powerful, wondrous grace Draw and unite my soul to thee. 4 Whene'er my foolish wandering heart, Attracted by a creature's power, Would from this blissful center start Lord, fix there to stray no more! Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5

Rejoicing in God

Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Joy and Rejoicing First Line: The righteous Lord, supremely great Lyrics: 1 The righteous Lord, supremely great, Maintains his universal state; O'er all the earth his power extends, All heaven before his footstool bends. 2 Yet justice still with power presides, And mercy all his empire guides; Mercy and truth are his delight, And saints are lovely in his sight. 3 No more, ye wise, your wisdom boast; No more, ye strong, your valour trust; No more, ye rich, survey their store, Elate with heaps of shining ore. 4 Glory, ye saints, in this alone, That God, your God, to you is known; That you have own'd his sovereign sway, That you have felt his cheering ray. 5 Our wisdom, wealth, and power I find, In one Jehovah, all combin'd; On him we fix our roving eyes, And all our souls in rapture rise. 6 All else, which we our treasure call, May in one fatal moment fall; But what their happiness can move, Whom God the blessed deigns to love? Scripture: Jeremiah 9:23-24

Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Hope First Line: Why sinks my weak desponding mind? Lyrics: 1 Why sinks my weak desponding mind? Why heaves my heart the anxious sigh? Can sovereign goodness be unkind? Am I not safe if God is nigh? 2 He holds all nature in his hand: That gracious hand on which I live, Does life, and time, and death command, And has immortal joys to give. 3 'Tis he supports this fainting frame, On him alone my hopes recline; The wondrous glories of his name, How wide they spread! how bright they shine! 4 Infinite wisdom! boundless power! Unchanging faithfulness and love! Here let me trust, while I adore, Nor from my refuge e'er remove. 5 My God, if thou art mine indeed, Then I have all my heart can crave; A present help in times of need, Still kind to hear, and strong to save. 6 Forgive my doubts, O gracious Lord, And ease the sorrows of my breast; Speak to my heart the healing word, That thou art mine—and I am blest. Scripture: 1 Samuel 30:6
