Amen. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But Jesus, draw Thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin. 3 O let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will. O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control; O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul! 4 O Jesus, Thou hast promised To all who follow Thee That where Thou art in glory There shall Thy servant be; And, Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend! 5 O let me see Thy footmarks, And in them plant mine own; My hope to follow duly Is in Thy strength alone. O guide me, call me, draw me, Uphold me to the end; And then in heaven receive me, My Savior and my Friend! Used With Tune: [O Jesus, I have promised]

One sweetly solemn thought

Author: Phoebe Cary Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 706 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Fifth Sunday in Lent; The Church Year Fifth Sunday in Lent Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er; Nearer to my home today am I Than e’er I’ve been before. 2 Nearer my Father’s house, Where many mansions be; Nearer today the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. 3 Nearer the bound of life Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the heavy cross; Nearer to gain the crown. 4 But, lying dark between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the silent, unknown stream That leads at last to light. 5 Ev'n now, perchance, my feet, Are slipping over the brink, For I, to-day, am nearer home,-- Nearer now than I think. 6 Jesus, perfect my trust; Strengthen my spirit's faith; Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death. Used With Tune: [One sweetly solemn thought]

Bound by God's far purpose in one living whole, move we on together to the shining goal. [Refrain] Scripture: Hebrews 11 Used With Tune: ST. GERTRUDE
