Lord, unafflicted, undismayed

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 Lord, unafflicted, undismayed, In pleasure's path how long I stayed! Bur Thou hast made me feel Thy rod, And turned my soul to Thee, my God. 2 What though it pierced my fainting heart, I bless Thy hand that cased the smart; It taught my tears a while to flow, But saved me from eternal woe. 3 Oh hadst Thou left me unchastised, Thy precepts I had still despised, And still the snare, in secret laid Had my unwary feet betrayed. 4 I love Thy chastenings, oh my God; They fix my hopes on Thy abode, Where, in Thy presence fully blest, Thy stricken saints for ever rest.

Oh that I knew the secret place

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint Thirsting After God Lyrics: 1 Oh that I knew the secret place Where I might find my God! I'd spread my wants before His face, And pour my woes abroad. 2 I'd tell him how my sins arise, What sorrows I sustain; How grace decays and comfort dies, And leaves my heart in pain: 3 He knows what arguments I'd take To wrestle with my God: I'd plead for His own mercy's sake-- And for my Savior's blood. 4 My God will pity my complaints, And drive my foes away; He knows the meaning of His saints When they in sorrow pray. 5 Arise, my soul! from deep distress, And banish every fear; He calls Thee to His throne of grace, To spread thy sorrow there.

When languor and disease invade

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 305 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 When languor and disease invade This trembling house of clay, ’Tis sweet to look beyond my pains, And long to fly away. 2 Sweet to look inward, and attend The whispers of His love; Sweet to look upward to the place Where Jesus pleads above. 3 Sweet on His faithfulness to rest, Whose love can never end; Sweet on His covenant of grace For all things to depend. 4 If such the sweetness of the streams, What must the fountain be, Where saints and angels draw their bliss Immediately from thee!

Joyfully, joyfully onward I move

Appears in 322 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint In Prospect of Heaven Lyrics: 1 Joyfully, joyfully, onward I move, Bound for the land of bright spirits above; Angelic choristers, sing as I come-- Joyfully, joyfully haste to thy home! Soon with my pilgrimage ended below, Home to the land of bright spirits I go; Pilgrim and stranger no more shall I roam: Joyfully, joyfully resting at home. 2 Friends fondly cherished have passed on before; Waiting, they watch me approaching the shore; Singing, to cheer me through death’s chilling gloom: Joyfully, joyfully haste to thy home; Sounds of sweet melody fall on mine ear Harps of the blessèd, your voices I hear! Rings with the harmony heaven’s high dome-- Joyfully, joyfully, haste to thy home. 3 Death with thy weapons of war lay me low; Strike, king of terrors, I fear not the blow; Jesus hath broken the bars of the tomb! Joyfully, joyfully will I go home. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn; Death shall be banished, his scepter be gone; Joyfully, then shall I witness his doom, Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home.

Commit Thy way, confiding

Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 Commit Thy way, confiding, When trials here arise, To Him whose hand is guiding The tumults of the skies. There clouds and tempests, raging, Have all their path assigned; Will God, for thee engaging, No way of safety find? 2 Trust in the Lord! His favor Will for thy wants provide; Regard His word!--and ever Thy work shall safe abide. When sorrows here o'ertake thee, And self-inflicted care, Let not thy God forsake thee! He listens for thy prayer. 3 Hope on! thou weak believer, Hope on, and falter not! He will thy soul deliver From deeps of troubled thought: Thy graces He will nourish, With hope thy heart employ, Till faith and hope shall flourish And yield their fruits of joy. 4 The sorrows, Lord, that try us, Oh bring them to an end! With needed strength supply us, From ever foe defend! Let us, till death pursuing The best--Thy chosen--way, In heaven our life renewing, Praise Thee in endless day. Scripture: Psalm 37

Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint In Prospect of Heaven Lyrics: 1 Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell, With all your feeble light; Farewell, thou ever-changing moon, Pale empress of the night. 2 And thou, refulgent orb of day, In brighter flames arrayed! My soul, which springs beyond thy sphere, No more demands thine aid. 3 Ye stars are but the shining dust Of my divine abode- The pavement of those heavenly courts, Where I shall reign with God. 4 The Father of eternal light Shall there His beams display; Nor shall one moment's darkness mix With that unvaried day. 5 No more the drops of piercing grief Shall swell into mine eyes; Nor the noon-day sun decline, Amid those brighter skies. 6 There all the millions of His saints Shall in one song unite; And each the bliss of all shall share, With infinite delight.

When God revealed His gracious name

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint Pardoned Lyrics: 1 When God revealed His gracious name, And changed my mournful state, My rapture seemed a pleasing dream, The grace appeared so great. 2 The world beheld the glorious change, And did Thy hand confess; My tongue broke out in unknown strains, And sung surprising grace. 3 "Great is the work," my neighbors cried, And owned Thy power divine; "Great is the work," my heart replied, "And be the glory Thine." 4 The Lord can clear the darkest skies, Can give us day for night; Make drops of sacred sorrow rise To rivers of delight. 5 Let those that sow in sadness wait Till the fair harvest come; They shall confess their sheaves are great, And shout the blessings home.
