My God, I thank Thee, Who hast made

Author: Adelaide A. Procter Meter: 8.4 Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, I thank Thee, Who hast made The earth so bright,; So full of splendor and of joy, Beauty and light; So many glorious things are here, Noble and right. 2 I thank Thee too that Thou hast made Joy to abound; So many gentle thoughts and deeds Circling us round. That in the darkest spot of earth Some love is found. 3 I thank Thee more that all our joy Is touched with pain; That shadows fall on brightest hours; That thorns remain; So that earth's bliss may be our guide, And not our chain. 4 For Thou Who knowest, Lord, how soon Our weak heart clings, Hast given us joys, tender and true, Yet all with wings; So that we see, gleaming on high, Diviner things. 5 I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast kept The best in store; We have enough, yet not too much To long for more: A yearning for a deeper peace, Not known before. 6 I thank Thee, Lord, that here our souls, Though amply blest, Can never find, although they seek, A perfect rest; Nor ever shall, until they lean On Jesus' breast. Amen. Topics: For the Sick and Afflicted; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: [My God, I thank Thee, Who hast made]

There's a friend above all others, O, how he loves!

Meter: 8.4 Appears in 179 hymnals Lyrics: 1. There's a friend above all others, O how he loves! His is love beyond a brother's O how he loves! Earthly friends may fail and leave us, This day kind, the next bereave us; But this Friend will ne'er deceive us, O how he loves! 2. Blessed Jesus, wouldst thou know him? O how he loves! Give thyself e'en this day to him, O how he loves! Is it sin that pains and grieves thee? Unbelief and trials tease thee? Jesus can from all release thee, O how he loves! 3. Love this friend who longs to save thee, O how he loves! Dost thou love? He will not leave thee, O how he loves! Think no more then of tomorrow, Take his easy yoke and follow, Jesus carries all thy sorrow, O how he loves! 4. All thy sins shall be forgiven, O how he loves! Backward all thy foes be driven, O how he loves! Best of blessing he'll provide thee, Naught but good shall e'er betide thee, Safe to glory he will guide thee, O how he loves! 5. Pause, my soul! adore and wonder, O how he loves! Naught can cleave this love asunder, O how he loves! Neither trial, nor temptation, Doubt, nor fear, nor tribulation, Can bereave us of salvation; O how he loves! 6. Let us still this love be viewing: O how he loves! And, though faint, keep on pursuing O how he loves! He will strengthen each endeavor, And when passed o'er Jordan's river This shall be our song for ever: O how he loves! Used With Tune: WELCH
