Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 264 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, oh, make me glad
The longer to obey;
If short, no laborer is sad
To end his toilsome day.
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
And he that to God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessed face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be?
5 Then I shall end my sad complaints
And weary, sinful days,
And join with the triumphant saints
Who sing my Saviour's praise.
6 My knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him.
Amen.

Lord, it belongs not to my care
Oh, for a closer walk with God
Author: W. Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,387 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame,
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
2 Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
And drove Thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.
Amen. Used With Tune: [Oh, for a closer walk with God]
Oh, for a closer walk with God
When all Thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,011 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
2 Oh, how shall words with equal warmth
The gratitude declare,
That glows within my ravished heart?
But Thou canst read it there.
3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart,
That tastes those gifts with joy.
4 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds
The glorious theme renew.
5 When nature fails, and day and night
Divide Thy works no more,
My ever grateful heart, O Lord,
Thy mercy shall adore.
6 Through all eternity, to Thee
A joyful song I'll raise;
But oh, eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise!
Amen. Used With Tune: [When all Thy mercies, O my God]
When all Thy mercies, O my God
Great God, to Thee my evening song
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 286 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Great God, to Thee my evening song,
With humble gratitude I raise:
Oh, let Thy mercy tune my tongue,
And fill my heart with lively praise.
2 My days unclouded as they pass,
And every gently rolling hour,
Are monuments of wondrous grace,
And witness to Thy love and power.
3 And yet this thoughtless, wretched heart,
Too oft regardless of Thy love,
Ungrateful, can from Thee depart,
And from the path of duty rove.
4 Seal my forgiveness in the blood
Of Christ my Lord; His Name alone
I plead for pardon, gracious God,
And kind acceptance at Thy throne.
5 With hope in Him mine eyelids close;
With sleep refresh my feeble frame;
Safe in Thy care may I repose,
And wake with praises to Thy Name.
Amen. Used With Tune: [Great God, to Thee my evening song]
Great God, to Thee my evening song
There is a land of pure delight
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,418 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Eternal day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides,
And never-fading flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
3 Bright fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green;
So to the Jews fair Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
4 But timorous mortals start and shrink,
To cross the narrow sea;
And linger, trembling on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
5 Oh, could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love,
With faith's illumined eyes:
6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er,
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore.
Amen. Used With Tune: [There is a land of pure delight]
There is a land of pure delight
The day is past and gone
Author: Rev. John Leland Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 598 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone,
The evening shades appear;
Oh, may we all remember well
The night of death draws near.
2 We lay our garments by,
Upon our beds to rest;
So death shall soon disrobe us all
Of what is here possest.
3 Lord keep us safe this night,
Secure from all our fears;
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears.
Amen. Used With Tune: [The day is past and gone]
The day is past and gone
There is a blessed home
Author: H. W. Baker Appears in 193 hymnals Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 There is a blessed home
Beyond this land of woe,
Where trials never come,
Nor tears of sorrow flow;
Where faith is lost in sight,
And patient hope is crown'd,
And everlasting light
Its glory throws around.
2 There is a land of peace:
Good angels know it well;
Glad songs that never cease
Within its portals swell;
Around its glorious throne
Ten thousand saints adore
Christ, with the Father One,
And Spirit, evermore.
3 O joy all joys beyond,
To see the Lamb Who died,
And count each sacred wound
In hands, and feet, and side;
To give to Him the praise
Of every triumph won,
And sing through endless days
The great things He hath done!
4 Look up, ye saints of God!
Nor fear to tread below
The path your Saviour trod
Of daily toil and woe!
Wait but a little while
In uncomplaining love!
His own most gracious smile
Shall welcome you above. Used With Tune: BEULAH
There is a blessed home
Through the day thy love has spared us
Author: Rev. Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 256 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Through the day Thy love has spared us;
Hear us ere the hour of rest:
Through the silent watches guard us,
Let no foe our peace molest;
Jesus, Thou our guardian be;
Sweet it is to trust in Thee.
2 Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers,
Dwelling in the midst of foes;
Us and ours preserve from dangers;
In Thine arms may we repose;
And, when life's short day is past,
Rest with Thee in heaven at last.
Amen. Used With Tune: [Through the day thy love has spared us]
Through the day thy love has spared us
I heard the voice of Jesus say
Author: Dr. H. Bonar Appears in 1,237 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say
Come unto Me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast.
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place,
And He has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down and drink, and live.
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
I am this dark world's light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright.
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In Him my star, my sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk
Till travelling days are done.
Amen. Used With Tune: [I heard the voice of Jesus say]
I heard the voice of Jesus say
O happy home, where Thou art loved the dearest
Author: C. J. P. Spitta; S. L. Findlater Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 O happy home, where Thou art loved the dearest,
Thou loving Friend, and Saviour of our race,
And where among the guests there never cometh
One who can hold such high and honour'd place.
2 O happy home, whose two in heart united
In holy faith and blessed hope are one,
Whom death a little while alone divideth,
And cannot end the union here begun!
3 O happy home, whose little ones are given
Early to Thee in humble faith and prayer,
To Thee, their Friend, who from the heights of heaven
Guides them, and guards with more than mother's care!
4 O happy home, where each one serves Thee, lowly,
Whatever his appointed work may be,
Till every common task seems great and holy,
When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee!
5 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten
When joy is overflowing, full and free,
O happy home, where every wounded spirit
Is brought, Physician, Comforter, to Thee,
6 Until at last, when earth's day's work is ended,
All meet Thee in the blessed home above,
From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended,
Thy everlasting home of peace and love. Used With Tune: WELWYN
O happy home, where Thou art loved the dearest
