Nearer, My God To Thee

Nearer to thee!
E'en tho' it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
2 Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
3 There let the way appear,
Steps unto heav'n;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
4 Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
5 Or if, on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee;
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!

As pants the hart for cooling streams
Author: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715; N. Brady, 1659-1726 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #428 (1917) Topics: God Longing for; Longing For God Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams,
When heated in the chase,
So longs my soul, O God, for Thee,
And Thy refreshing grace.
2 For Thee, my God, the living God,
My thirsty soul doth pine;
O when shall I behold Thy face,
Thou Majesty divine!
3 God of my strength, how long shall I,
Like one forgotten, mourn?
Forlorn, forsaken, and exposed
To the oppressor's scorn.
4 I sigh to think of happier days,
When Thou, O Lord, wast nigh;
When every heart was tuned to praise,
And none more blest than I.
5 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still, and thou shalt sing
The praise of Him who is thy God,
Thy Saviour, and thy King. Languages: English Tune Title: SPOHR

Everything That Has Voice

sing for peace, speak for pace,
given chance, given choice,
work for peace, write for peace,

echoing our common care:
everything that has voice sing for peace!

cries for peace, dies for peace;
let the children, every place,
sleep in peace, grow in peace,
home and country safe to be
where the Spirit rises free:
all the world longs for peace cries for peace.
3 Everyone who has breath,
you and I, passers-by,
every tenant of the earth,
plant for peace, gather peace,
cultivate a neighborhood
cherishing our neighbor's good:
everyone who has a breath live in peace. Scripture: Psalm 35:14 Languages: English Tune Title: SING FOR PEACE

Supreme Love to Christ
Author: B. Francis Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLIII (1792) Topics: Hope Hoping and longing for glory First Line: My gracious Redeemer I'll love Lyrics: 1 My gracious redeemer I'll love,
His praises aloud I'll proclaim,
And join with the armies above,
To shout his adorable name.
To gaze on the glories divine
Shall be my eternal employ,
And feel them incessantly shine,
My boundless ineffable joy.
2 He freely redeem'd with his blood,
My soul from the confines of hell,
To live on the smiles of my God,
And in his sweet presence to dwell;
To shine with the angels of light,
With saints and with seraphs to sing,
To view, with eternal delight,
My Jesus, my savior, my King.
3 In Mesheck, as yet, I reside,
A darksome and restless abode!
Molested with foes on each side,
And longing to dwell with my God.
O, when shall my spirit exchange
This cell of corruptible clay,
For mansions celestial, and range
Thro' realms of ineffable day!
4 My glorious redeemer! I long
To see thee descend on the cloud,
Amidst the bright numberless throng,
And mix with the triumphing crow'd;
O, when wilt thou bid me ascend,
To join in thy praises above,
To gaze on thee, world without end,
And feast on thy ravishing love?
5 Nor sorrow, nor sickness, nor pain,
Nor sin, nor temptation, nor fear,
Shall ever molest me again,
Perfection of glory reigns there.
This soul and this body shall shine
In robes of salvation and praise,
And banquet on pleasures divine,
Where God his full beauty displays.
6 Ye palaces, sceptres, and crowns,
Your pride with disdain I survey;
Your pomps are but shadows and sounds,
And pass in a moment away:
The crown that my savior bestows,
Yon permanent fun shall outshine;
My jou everlastingly flows,
My God, my redeemer is mine.

Melancholy Thoughts Reproved; or, Hope in Affliction

But I will call thy name to mind,
And times of past distress record,
When I have found my God was kind.
2 Huge troubles with tumultuous noise
Swell like a sea, and round me spread;
Thy rising waves drown all my joys,
And roll tremendous o'er my head.
3 Yet will the Lord command his love,
When I address his throne by day,
Nor in the night his grace remove;
The night shall hear me sing and pray.
4 I'll cast myself before his feet,
And say, "my God, my heavenly rock,
"Why doth thy love so long forget
"The soul that groans beneath thy stroke?"
5 I'll chide my heart that sinks so low,
Why should my soul indulge her grief;
Hope in the Lord, and praise him too;
He is my rest, my sure relief.
6 My God, my most exceeding joy,
Thy light and truth shall guide me still,
Thy word shall my best thoughts employ,
And lead me to thine heavenly hill. Scripture: Psalm 42:6-11 Languages: English
