My heart is resting, O my God
Author: Anna Laetitia Waring (1820-1910) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 95 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 My heart is resting, O my God,
I will give thanks and sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.
I thirst for springs of heavenly life,
And here all day they rise;
I seek the treasure of Thy love,
And close at hand it lies.
2 I have a heritage of joy,
That yet I must not see;
But the hand that bled to make it mine
Is keeping it for me.
And a new song is in my mouth,
To long-loved music set:
"Glory to Thee for all the grace
I have not tasted yet."
3 My heart is resting, O my God,
My heart is in Thy care;
I hear the voice of joy and health
Resounding everywhere.
"Thou art my portion, saith my soul,"
Ten thousand voices say,
And the music of their glad Amen
Will never die away.
Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Joy; Confidence; God Love and Fatherhood, His; Joy; Meditation; Resting in God; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: PENTATONE
My heart is resting, O my God
I Bow My Forehead to the Dust
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 76 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 I bow my forehead to the dust,
I veil mine eyes for shame,
And urge, in trembling self-distrust,
A prayer without a claim.
No offering of mine own I have,
No works my faith to prove;
I can but give the gifts He gave,
And plead His love for love.
2 I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
And so beside the silent sea
I wait the muffled oar:
No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.
3 I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.
And Thou, O Lord, by whom are seen
Thy creatures as they be,
Forgive me if too close I lean
My human heart on Thee.
Amen. Topics: Faith; God Love and Fatherhood; Humility; Penitence; Trust; God the Father His Love and Fatherhood Scripture: Job 42:5-6 Used With Tune: PENTATONE

Song of Life
Author: Neil Barham Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Not in darkness nor in mystery Lyrics: 1. Not in darkness nor in mystery,
No depth of heart or mind,
Nowhere in heav’n or earth or hell
Can I run and Thou not find;
Transcendent thoughts too deep for me
Surround on every side.
Thy mighty wisdom, O my God,
Moves ocean, wind and tide.
2. With skillful and with hidden hand
Thou workest in the womb,
And there, in dark and tiny space,
Makest unseen life to bloom.
Fashioned fearfully and wonderf’ly,
Thy knowledge to display,
Thine image bearer grows in night
Which is to Thee as day.
3. How I love Thy wisdom and Thy thoughts
Unnumbered as the sands.
I joy that all my earthly trials
Are written by Thy hands.
And I trust that strong benevolence
That never leaves my side—
Thy holy, gracious presence is
My treasure and my guide. Used With Tune: PENTATONE
