Give to the Winds Thy Fears
Author: John Wesley; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 518 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears;
Hope and be undismayed;
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears,
God shall lift up thy head.
2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms,
He gently clears thy way;
Wait thou His time; so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day.
3 Leave to His sovereign sway
To choose and to command;
So shalt thou, wondering, own His way,
How wise, how strong His hand!
4 Far, far above thy thought
His counsel shall appear,
When fully He the work hath wrought
That caused thy needless fear.
Amen. Topics: Assurance; Christ Guide; Commitment; Courage; Faith; Trust; Life in Christ Faith and Assurance Scripture: Psalm 34:4 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Lord Jesus, think on me,
And purge away my sin;
From earth-born passions set me free,
And make me pure within.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
With care and woe opprest,
Let me thy loving servant be,
And taste thy promised rest.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point thou the heavenly way.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
That, when the flood is past,
I may the eternal brightness see,
And share thy joy at last.
Amen.

A Dread And Solemn Hour
Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A dread and solemn hour
To us is drawing near;
When we before the throne of God
All present shall appear.
2 What answer shall we give,
When God Himself demands
The uses of such times as these,
In judgment at our hands?
3 And must we then confess
That all was spent in vain
The seasons that were once our own,
But cannot be again?
4 This will be dark indeed;
To regions of despair
Our own neglect will sink us down,
To mourn forever there.

A Dread And Solemn Hour
Out of the depths I call
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I call,
to God I send my cry;
Lord, hear my supplicating voice
and graciously reply.
2 My soul with patience waits
for thee, the living Lord,
my hopes are on thy promise built,
thy never-failing word.
3 My longing eyes look out
for thy enlivening ray,
more duly than the morning watch
to spy the dawning day.
4 Let Israel trust in God;
no bounds his mercy knows;
the plenteous source and spring from whence
redemption ever flows.

Out of the depths I call
O'erwhelmed in Depths of Woe
Author: Anonymous; Edward Caswall Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O’erwhelmed in depths of woe,
Upon the tree of scorn,
Hangs the Redeemer of mankind,
With racking anguish torn.
2. See how the nails those hands
And feet so tender rend;
See down His face, and neck, and breast
His sacred blood descend.
3. Oh, hear that last, loud cry
Which pierced His mother’s heart,
As into God the Father’s hands
He bade His soul depart.
4. Earth hears, and trembling quakes
Around that tree of pain;
The rocks are rent; the graves are burst;
The veil is rent in twain.
5. Shall man alone be mute?
Have we no griefs, or fears?
Come, old and young, come, all mankind,
And bathe those feet in tears.
6. Come, fall before His cross,
Who shed for us His blood,
Who died, the victim of pure love,
To make us sons of God.
7. Jesu, all praise to Thee,
Our joy and endless rest;
Be Thou our guide while pilgrims here,
Our crown amid the blest. Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE Text Sources: Roman Breviary, 1827; Translation in Lyra Catholica, 1849

Come, Lord, and Tarry Not!
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, and tarry not!
Bring the long-looked for day!
O why these years of waiting here,
These ages of delay?
2 Come, for your saints still wait;
Daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!"
Do you not hear the cry?
3 Come, for creation groans
With longing for your stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of decay.
4 Come, and make all things new;
Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded paradise,
Creation's second birth.
5 Come, and begin your reign
Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the kingdom to yourself,
Great King of Righteousness! Topics: Advent Season; Hope; New Creation; New Life; Perseverance; Redemption; Reign of God, Kingdom; Second Coming Scripture: Revelation 22:17 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Not what these hands have done
It is not death to die
Author: H. A. César Malan Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 178 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It is not death to die--
To leave this weary road,
And, 'midst the brotherhood on high,
To be at home with God.
2 It is not death to close
The eye long dimmed with tears,
And wake in glorious repose
To spend eternal years.
3 It is not death to bear
The wrench that sets us free
From dungeon chain, to breathe the air
Of boundless liberty.
4 It is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust,
And rise, on strong exulting wing,
To live among the just.
5 Jesus, Thou Prince of life,
Thy chosen cannot die:
Like Thee, they conquer in the strife,
To reign with Thee on high. Topics: The Last Things Burial and Resurrection; The Last Things Burial and Ressurection; Eternal Life; Resurrection Used With Tune: [It is not death to die]
