Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,056 hymnals Topics: Longing for God or Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
O Savior of mankind!
3 0 hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
Nor tongue nor pen can show!
The love of Jesus, what it is
None but His loved ones know. Used With Tune: ST. AGNES Text Sources: Latin hymn, 11th Century

O for a closer walk with God
I Am Thine, O Lord, I Have Heard Thy Voice
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 10.7.10.7 with refrain Appears in 738 hymnals Topics: Longing for Christ and God Refrain First Line: Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord Lyrics: 1 I am thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice,
and it told thy love to me;
but I long to rise in the arms of faith,
and be closer drawn to thee.
Refrain:
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
to the cross where thou hast died;
draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
to thy precious, bleeding side.
2 Consecrate me now to thy service, Lord,
by the pow'r of grace divine;
let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
and my will be lost in thine. [Refrain]
3 O the pure delight of a single hour
that before thy throne I spend,
when I kneel in prayer, and with thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend. [Refrain]
4 There are depths of love that I cannot know
till I cross the narrow sea;
there are heights of joy that I may not reach
till I rest in peace with thee. [Refrain]

O God, thou art my God alone
Nearer, my God to Thee
Author: Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams, 1805-1848 Appears in 2,594 hymnals Topics: Longing For God First Line: Nearer, my God, to Thee Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee;
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
2 Though, like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet, in my dreams, I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
3 There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
4 Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
5 Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upwards I fly;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee. Used With Tune: HORBURY
Nearer, my God to Thee
Come down, O Love divine
Author: Bianco de Siena, d. 1434; Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-90 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: Longing for God Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek now this soul of mine,
and visit it with our own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 There let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming;
and let your glorious light
shine ever on my sight
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
my outward garment be,
and lowliness become my inner clothing:
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part
and for its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace
till we become the place
in which the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

Hvor deilig skal Guds Kirke staa
Author: Kingo Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Love to and Longing for God; Love to and Longing for God Lyrics: 1 Hvor deilig skal Guds Kirke staa,
Og i hans Aasyn Ynde faa,
Naar alle Hjerter knytted' er
Udi eet Sind og een Begjær:
At elske ham og blive ved
At vandre frem i Kjærlighed!
2 Hvad er vort Væsen, om vi ei
Gaa Kjærligheds den rene Vei,
Og broderlig hinanden vil
Al velment Troskab byde til
Med sligt et Hjerte og Attraa,
Som Gud stod hos og saa derpaa?
3 Bort Vrede, Skjelsord, daarlig Harm!
I bør ei hyses i dem Barm,
Hvor Gud til Fred og salig Ro
Vil, sin Velsignelse skal bo:
Bort derfor alt, hvad skade kan
Og hindre Enigheds Forstand!
4 Gid Tunge, Læber, Sind og Mund
De kunde ret af Hjertens Grund
Forsage Trædskhed, List og Svig,
Og gjøre sig et Himmerig
Udaf den søde Venskabs Fred
Med hver Mand i Guds Kjærlighed!
5 Guds Øie ser dog al vor Daad,
Vor Tanke, Paafund, Hjertens Raad;
De Onde gaa ham ei forbi
Paa deres Ondskabs skjulte Sti,
Han ogsaa paa de Fromme ser,
Al Hjælp og Naade han dem ter.
6 Min Sjæl, agt derfor lidet om
Den Trusel, Had og Vrede, som
Dig Verdens Børn kan lægge paa,
Den skal saa snar en Vending faa,
Gak du kun frem paa Fredens Vei,
Og agt al Verdens Tummel ei!
7 O søde Gud, o gid jeg maa
Mit Hjerte ved dig dannet faa,
At du kan heliges i mig,
Til jeg dig ser i Himmerig,
Hvor hellig, hellig, hellig da
Jeg synger med Halleluja!
Hvor deilig skal Guds Kirke staa
