My God, I love Thee, not because

Author: Francis Xavier; Edward Caswell Appears in 211 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee, not because I hope for heav'n thereby; Nor yet because who love Thee not Must burn eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me Upon the cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace, 3 And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony, Yea, death itself; and all for one That was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessed Savior, Christ, Should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heav'n, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward; But solely for Thy love to me, O ever-loving Lord? 6 E’en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing, Alone because Thou art my God, And my eternal King. Used With Tune: BELMONT

When we cannot see our way

Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 When we cannot see our way, Let us trust, and still obey; He who bids us forward go, Cannot fail the way to show. 2 Though the sea be deep and wide, Though a passage be denied; Fearless let us still proceed, Since the Lord vouchsafes to lead. 3 Though it seems the gloom of night, Though we see no ray of light: Since the Lord Himself is there, ‘Tis not meet that we should fear. 4 Night with Him is never night, Where He is, there all is light; When He calls us, why delay? They are happy who obey. 5 Be it ours then while we’re here, Him to follow without fear! Where He calls us, there to go, What He bids us, that to do. Used With Tune: WEBER

He leadeth me! oh, blessed tho't!

Author: Rev J. Henry Gilmore Appears in 1,310 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 He leadeth me! oh, blessed tho't! Oh, words with heav'nly comfort fraught! Whate'er I do, where'er I be, Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. 2 Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden's flowers bloom, By waters calm, o'er troubled sea, Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me. 3 Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine, Nor ever murmur nor repine. Content, whatever lot I see, Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. 4 And when my task on earth is done, When, by Thy grace, the victory's won, E'ev death's cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me. Used With Tune: WARD

Jesus, my Lord, how rich Thy grace!

Author: Rev. Philip Doddridge Appears in 190 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Lord, how rich Thy grace! Thy bounties how complete! How shall I count the matchless sum, How pay the mighty debt? 2 High on a throne of radiant light Dost Thou exalted shine: What can my poverty bestow, When all the worlds are Thine? 3 But Thou hast brethren here below, The partners of Thy grace, And wilt confess their humble names Before Thy Father’s face. 4 In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed, And visited and cheered; And in their accents of distress My Savior’s voice is heard. 5 Thy face, with rev'rence and with love, We in Thy poor would see; O rather let me beg my bread, Than keep it back from Thee. Used With Tune: EAGLEY

No, the Church delights to raise Psalms and hymns and songs of praise. 5 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above.

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Jane Borthwick Appears in 628 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! O may Thy will be mine; Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign. Through sorrow, or through joy, Conduct me as Thine own; And help me still to say, My Lord, Thy will be done! 2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! If needy here and poor, Give me Thy people’s bread, Their portion rich and sure The manna of Thy Word Let my soul feed upon; And if all else should fail My Lord, Thy will be done! 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear; Since Thou on earth hast wept, And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done! 4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! When death itself draws nigh, To Thy dear wounded side I would for refuge fly. Leaning on Thee, to go Where Thou before hast gone. The rest as Thou shalt please; My Lord, Thy will be done! 5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee. Thus to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, My Lord, Thy will be done! Used With Tune: JEWETT
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
