Lord Jesus, think on me

Chatfield Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 136 hymnals Topics: Visitation Lyrics: Lord Jesus, think on me, And purge away my sin; From earth-born passions set me free, And make me pure within.

Lord Jesus, think on me, Nor let me go astray; Through darkness and perplexity Point thou the heavenly way.

Brief life is here our portion

Author: St. Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 249 hymnals Topics: Visitation Lyrics: Brief life is here our portion, Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The life that knows no ending, The tearless life is there! O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest, For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest! There grief is turned to pleasure; Such pleasure as below No human voice can utter, No human heart can know; And after fleshly weakness, And after this world's night, And after storm and whirlwind, Are calm, and joy, and light. And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown; And he whom now we trust in Shall then be seen and known, And they that know and see him Shall have him for their own. And now we watch and struggle, And now we live in hope, And Sion in her anguish With Babylon must cope; But there is David's fountain, And life in fullest glow; And there the light is golden, And milk and honey flow. The morning shall awaken, The shadows flee away, And each true-hearted servant Shall shine as doth the day; For God our King and Portion, In fullness of his grace, We then shall see for ever, And worship face to face. O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest Who art with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ALPHEGE

Art thou weary, art thou languid

Author: John M. Neale Meter: 8.5.8.3 Appears in 657 hymnals Topics: Visitation Lyrics: Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distrest? "Come to me," saith One, "and coming, Be at rest." Hath he marks to lead me to him, If he be my guide? "In his feet and hands are wound-prints, And his side." Is there diadem, as monarch, That his brow adorns? "Yea, a crown, in very surety, But of thorns." If I find him, if I follow, What his guerdon here? "Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear." If I still hold closely to him, What hath he at last? "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan past." If I ask him to receive me, Will he say me nay? "Not till earth, and not till heaven Pass away." Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is he sure to bless? Angels, martyrs, prophets, virgins, Answer, "Yes." Used With Tune: STEPHANOS

Far from my heavenly home

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 148 hymnals Topics: Visitation Lyrics: Far from my heavenly home, Far from my Father's breast, Fainting I cry, blest Spirit, come, And speed me to my rest. My spirit homeward turns, And fain would thither flee; My heart, O Sion, droops and yearns, When I remember thee. To thee, to thee I press, A dark and toilsome road; When shall I pass the wilderness, And reach the saints' abode? God of my life, be near: On thee my hopes I cast: O guide me through the desert here, And bring me home at last! Amen. Used With Tune: LYTE

I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew

Author: Anonymous Meter: 10.10.10.6 Appears in 92 hymnals Topics: Visitation Lyrics: I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew He moved my soul to seek him, seeking me; It was not I that found, O Savior true; No, I was found of thee.

I find, I walk, I love, but O the whole Of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee; For thou wert long beforehand with my soul, Always thou lovedst me. Amen. Used With Tune: ARTAVIA
