I Will Not Let Thee Go
Author: J. Fawcett Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: Thou Coming One, our wants relieve Lyrics: 1. Thou coming One, our wants relieve
In this our evil day;
To all thy tempted followers give
The pow'r to watch and pray.
Long as our fiery trials last,
Long as the cross we bear,
O may our souls on thee be cast,
In all-prevailing pray'r.

Give us in faith to claim;
To wrestle till we see thy face,
And know thy hidden name.
Till then thy perfect love impart;
Till thou appear below
Be this the cry of ev'ry heart,
"I will not let thee go."

Thou tell thy name to me;
With all thy great salvation bless,
And make me all like thee.

Behold thy open face,
Where faith in sight is swallowed up,
And prayer in joyful praise. Used With Tune: PERSEVERANCE

And take my sins away!

And take my sins away!

And take my sins away!

And He shall come again,

And take my sins away! Used With Tune: BONAR

Holy Jesus, day by day
Gracious Father, guard thy children
Author: Anon. Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Gracious Father, guard thy children
From the foe's destructive power;
Save, O save them, Lord from falling
In this dark and trying hour.
Thou wilt surely prove thy people,
All our graces must be tried;
But thy word illumes our pathway,
And in God we still confide.
2 We are in the time of waiting;
Soon we shall behold our Lord,
Wafted far away from sorrow,
To receive our rich reward.
Keep us, Lord, till thine appearing,
Pure, unspotted from the world;
Let thy Holy Spirit cheer us
Till thy banner is unfurled.
3 With what joyful exultation
Shall the saints thy banner see,
When the Lord for whom we've waited
Shall proclaim the Jubilee!
Freedom from this world's pollutions;
Freedom from all sin and pain;
Freedom from the wiles of Satan,
And from death's destructive reign. Used With Tune: DAWNING
Gracious Father, guard thy children
From Out the Depths I Cry, O Lord, to Thee
Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics: 1 From out the depths I cry, O Lord, to Thee;
Lord, hear my call.
I love Thee, Lord, for Thou dost heed my plea,
Forgiving all.
If Thou shouldst mark our sins, who then shall stand?
But grace and mercy dwell at Thy right hand.
2 I wait for God, the Lord, and on His word
My hope relies;
My soul still waits and looks unto the Lord
Till light arise.
I look for Him to drive away my night,
Yea, more than watchmen look for morning light.
3 Hope in the Lord, ye waiting saints, and He
Will well provide;
For mercy and redemption full and free
With Him abide.
From sin and evil, mighty though they seem,
His arm almighty will His saints redeem. Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: SANDON

Son of God, thy people's shield
Author: Anon. Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Son of God, thy people's shield,
Must we still thine absence mourn?
Let thy promise be fulfilled;
Thou hast said, "I will return."
Gracious Master, soon appear
Quickly bring thy morning's light;
Then will cease the constant tear,
Hope be turned to joyful sight.
2 As a woman counts the days
Till her absent lord she sees,
Longs and watches, weeps and prays,
So the church must long for thee.
Come, that we may see thee nigh;
Then the sheep shall feed in peace;
Hushed forever trouble's sigh,
Sin and sorrow's triumph cease. Used With Tune: WATCHMAN
Son of God, thy people's shield
