The true Test

Author: John G. Whittier Hymnal: Laudes Domini #158 (1890) Topics: Christ Example of; Christ Example of First Line: We may not climb the heavenly steeps Lyrics: 1 We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For him no depths can drown. 2 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is he; And faith has yet its Olivet, And love its Galilee. 3 The healing of the seamless dress, Is by our beds of pain; We touch him in life's throng and press, And we are whole again. 4 Through him the first fond prayers are said Our lips of childhood frame; The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with his name. 5 O Lord and Master of us all, Whate'er our name or sign, We own thy sway, we hear thy call, We test our lives by thine!

Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: Laudes Domini #376 (1890) Topics: Christ Example of; Christ Example of First Line: Yes, he knows the way is dreary Lyrics: 1 Yes, he knows the way is dreary, Knows the weakness of our frame, Knows that hand and heart are weary, He in all points felt the same. He is near to help and bless; Be not weary, onward press. 2 Look to him, who once was willing All his glory to resign, That, for thee the law fulfilling, All his merit might be thine. Strive to follow, day by day, Where his footsteps mark the way. 3 Look to him, the Lord of Glory, Tasting death to win thy life; Gazing on that wondrous story, Canst thou falter in the strife? Is it not new life to know That the Lord hath loved thee so? 4 Look to him, and faith shall brighten, Hope shall soar, and love shall burn, Peace once more thy heart shall lighten; Rise, he calleth thee, return! Be not weary on thy way; Jesus is thy strength and stay. Languages: English

So meek, forgiving, godlike, high, So glorious in humility? 4 Even death, which sets the prisoner free, Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to thee; Yet love through all thy torture glowed, And mercy with thy life-blood flowed. 5 Oh, in thy light be mine to go, Illuming all my way of woe! And give me ever on the road To trace thy footsteps, Son of God. Languages: English
