Christ our Rest

Author: G. Matheson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #383 (1890) Topics: Christians Love for Christ; Christians Love for Christ First Line: O Love, that wilt not let me go Lyrics: 1 O Love, that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, That in thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. 2 O Light, that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in thy sunshine's blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. 3 O Joy, that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the sunshine through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain That morning shall tearless be. 4 O Cross, that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life's glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be.

"Distresses for Christ's sake"

Author: Mrs. C. Fry Wilson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #386 (1890) Topics: Christians Love for Christ; Christians Love for Christ First Line: For what shall I praise thee, my God and my King Lyrics: 1 For what shall I praise thee, my God and my King, For what blessings the tribute of gratitude bring? Shall I praise thee for pleasure, for health, or for ease, For the sunshine of youth, for the garden of peace? 2 For this I should praise; but if only for this, I should leave half untold the donation of bliss! I thank bless for sickness, for sorrow, and care, For the thorns I have gathered, the anguish I bear; 3 For nights of anxiety, watching, and tears, A present of pain, a prospective of fears; I praise thee, I bless thee, my Lord and my God, For the good and the evil thy hand hath bestowed!

Havergal Hymnal: Laudes Domini #374 (1890) Topics: Christians Love for Christ; Christians Love for Christ First Line: Master, speak! thy servant heareth Lyrics: 1 Master, speak! thy servant heareth, Longing for thy gracious word, Longing for thy voice that cheereth; Master, let it now be heard. I am listening, Lord, for thee; What hast thou to say to me? 2 Often through my heart is pealing Many another voice than thine; Many an unwilled echo stealing From the walls of this thy shrine. Let thy longed-for accents fall; Master, speak! and silence all. 3 Master, speak! I do not doubt thee, Though so tearfully I plead; Saviour, Shepherd! oh, without thee Life would be a blank indeed. But I long for fuller light, Deeper love and clearer sight. 4 Speak to me by name, O Master, Let me know it is to me; Speak, that I may follow faster, With a step more firm and free, Where the Shepherd leads the flock, In the shadow of the rock!

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

Hast thou a foe, before whose face I fear thy cause to plead? 4 Would not my heart pour forth its blood In honor of thy name? And challenge the cold hand of death To damp the immortal flame? 5 Thou knowest that I love thee, Lord; But, oh, I long to soar Far from the sphere of mortal joys, And learn to love thee more.
