I Do Believe
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 544 hymnals Topics: Christan Life Meditation and Prayer First Line: Father, I stretch my hands to Thee Lyrics: 1 Father, I stretch my hands to Thee;
No other help I know;
If Thou withdraw Thyself from me,
Ah, wither shall I go?
2 On Thy dear Son I now believe,
O let me feel Thy power;
And all my varied wants relieve,
In this accepted hour.
3 Author of faith! To Thee I lift
My weary, longing eyes;
O let me now receive that gift;
My soul without it dies.
4 Surely Thou canst not let me die;
O speak, and I shall live;
And here I will unwearied lie,
Till Thou Thy Spirit give.
5 How would my fainting soul rejoice
Could I but see Thy face!
Now let me hear Thy quickening voice,
And taste Thy pardoning grace.
6 I do believe, I now believe
That Jesus died for me,
And that He shed His precious blood
From sin to set me free. Used With Tune: I DO BELIEVE

We Would See Jesus
Author: Anna B. Warner (1820-1915) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 280 hymnals Topics: Christan Life Meditation and Prayer First Line: “We would see Jesus;” for the shadows lengthen Lyrics: 1 “We would see Jesus;” for the shadows lengthen
Across the little landscape of our life;
We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen
For the last conflict, in this mortal strife.
2 “We would see Jesus,” Rock of our salvation,
Where on our feet were set with sovereign grace;
Not life, nor death, with all their agitation,
Can thence remove us, gazing on His face.
3 “We would see Jesus;” other lights are paling,
Which for long years we did rejoice to see;
The blessings of this sinful world are failing;
We would not mourn them, in exchange for Thee.
4 “We would see Jesus;” this is all we’re needing-
Strength, joy and willingness come with the sight;
We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading,
Soon to return and end this mortal night! Scripture: John 12:21 Used With Tune: [We would see Jesus, for the shadows lengthen] (Belden)
We Would See Jesus

My God, permit my Tongue
Appears in 196 hymnals Topics: Meditation Lyrics: 1 My GOD, permit my Tongue
This Joy, to call thee mine;
And let my early Cries prevail
To taste thy Love divine.
2 My thirsty fainting Soul
Thy Mercy doth implore;
Not Travellers in Desert Lands,
Can pant for Water more.
3 Within thy Churches, Lord,
I long to find my Place,
Thy Pow'r and Glory to behold,
And feel thy quick'ning Grace.
4 For Life without thy Love
No Relish can afford;
No Joy can be compar'd with this,
To serve and please the Lord.
5 To thee I'll lift my Hands,
And praise Thee while I live;
Not the rich Dainties of a Feast
Such Food and Pleasure give.
6 In wakeful Hours at Night
I call my GOD to Mind;
I think how wise thy Counsels are,
And all thy Dealings kind.
7 Since thou hast been my Help,
To thee my Spirit flies,
And on thy watchful Providence
My chearful Hope relies.
8 The Shadow of thy Wings
My Soul in Safety keeps!
I follow where my Father leads,
And he supports my Steps. Scripture: Psalm 63
My God, permit my Tongue

Nearer, Still Nearer
Author: Leila N. Morris Appears in 227 hymnals Topics: Meditation; Meditation First Line: Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart Lyrics: 1 Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art;
Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast,
Shelter me safe in that “Haven of Rest,”
Shelter me safe in that “Haven of Rest.”
2 Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
Naught as an off'ring to Jesus, my King;
Only my sinful, now contrite heart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.
3 Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine,
Sin with its follies I gladly resign;
All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord, crucified,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord, crucified.
4 Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last,
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
Thro' endless ages ever to be,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee.
Used With Tune: [Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart]
Nearer, Still Nearer

Words That We Hold Tight
Author: Bishop Dr. Adedeji Ishola Meter: 9.9.9.9 with refrain Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Prayer and Meditation First Line: Words that we hold tight won't let us go Refrain First Line: Show us how to forgive Lyrics: 1 Words that we hold tight won’t let us go.
Paths we don’t follow will haunt us so.
What will undo us is not our friend.
Show us, O spirit, how to befriend.
Refrain:
Show us how to forgive.
To all who live,
show us forgiveness that we may live.
2 To speak of loving is not to love.
Lies move among us, below, above.
When we are raging, needing to mend,
show us, O spirit, how to befriend. [Refrain]
3 When love is doubtful, choice is not clear,
we turn to worship to cast out fear.
Teach us forgiveness, make love our end.
Show us, O spirit, how to befriend. [Refrain] Used With Tune: EKO A BA KO Text Sources: Based on a text by Bishop Dr. Adedeji Ishola
