Optional stanza from Psalm 23: Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me, and in God's house forevermore my dwelling place shall be; and in God's house forevermore my dwelling place shall be.

My company before is gone, And I am left alone with thee. With thee all night I mean to stay, And wrestle till the break of day; With thee all night I mean to stay, And wrestle till the break of day. 2 I need not tell thee who I am, My misery and sin declare; Thyself hast called me by my name, Look on thy hands and read it there. But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. 3 Yield to me now, for I am weak, But confident in self-despair! Speak to my heart, in blessing speak, Be conquered by my instant prayer. Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, And tell me if thy name is Love. Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, And tell me if thy name is Love. 4 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diedst for me, I hear thy whisper in my heart. The morning breaks, the shadows flee, Pure, universal Love thou art. To me, to all, thy mercies move; Thy nature and thy name is Love. To me, to all, thy mercies move; Thy nature and thy name is Love. --- 1 Oh tú, viajero extraño, ven, sin verte, asido a ti yo estoy; se han ido todos, tarde es ya, y yo contigo solo voy; contigo en sombras lucharé, y así la aurora esperaré; contigo en sombras lucharé y así la aurora esperaré. 2 En vano quieres libertad, no he de dejarte nunca, no; mi nombre sabes, pero tú, ¿qué nombre tienes, oh Señor? ¿Acaso fuiste el que ofreció por mí su vida en amor? ¿Acaso fuiste el que ofreció; por mí su vida en amor? 3 Respóndeme, pues débil soy, y en mis angustias clamo a ti; que te conquiste mi oración, y me bendigas al partir; no he de dejarte, hombre o Dios, ansioso espero oír tu voz; no he de dejarte, hombre o Dios, ansioso espero oír tu voz. 4 Amor, tu nombre es solo amor; calladamente percibí tu voz diciendo al corazón, "mi vida entera di por ti"; las sombras huyen, brilla el sol, tu nombre, oh Dios, es santo amor; las sombras huyen, brilla el sol, tu nombre, oh Dios, es santo amor.

There is a fountain opened wide

Author: W. Cowper (1731-1800) Appears in 2,490 hymnals Topics: The Fall Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain opened wide where life and hope begin; for Christ the Lord was crucified to cleanse us from our sin. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day; and there have I, as vile as he, washed all my sins away. 3 O Lamb of God, your precious blood shall never lose its power, till all the ransomed church of God be saved to sin no more. 4 And since, by faith, I saw the stream your flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die. 6 When this poor, lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave, then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing your power to save.

The Tender Love a Father Has

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: The Fall Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has for all his children dear-- such love the Lord bestows on those who worship him in fear. 2 The Lord remembers we are dust, and all our frailty knows; our life is like the tender grass, and as the flower it grows. 3 The flower is withered by the wind that smites with blighting breath; so we are quickly swept away before the blast of death. 4 Unchanging is the love of God, from age to age the same, displayed to all who do his will and reverence his name. 5 Those who his gracious covenant keep the Lord will ever bless; their children's children shall rejoice to see his righteousness.
