O For A Faith That Will Not Shrink
Author: W. H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 698 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink
Tho' pressed by ev'ry foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe!
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chast'ning rod,
But, in the hour of grief and pain,
Will lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That, when in danger, knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;
4 That bears, unmoved, the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That seas of trouble cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile;
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heav'nly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste, e’en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.
Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Used With Tune: WOLVERHAMPTON

O that the Lord would guide my ways
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 386 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 O that the Lord would guide my ways
To keep His statutes still!
O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!
2 Order my footsteps by Thy Word
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep;
And should I e'er forget Thy way,
Restore Thy wandering sheep.
4 Make me to walk in Thy commands;
'Tis a delightful road:
Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,
Offend against my God. Topics: The Christian Life Holiness; Sixty Sunday after Trinity; Ninth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Psalm 119 Used With Tune: WOLVERHAMPTON

On whom our souls rely,

With theirs our happy portion be,
A home beyond the skies. Topics: Ascension; Ascension Day; Sunday after Ascension; Eleventh Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: WOLVERHAMPTON
O Thou, who thus exalted art
I love to steal awhile away
Author: Phoebe H. Brown Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 632 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away
From every cumbering care,
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
2 I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear,
And all His promises to plead
Where none but God can hear.
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore,
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On Him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven;
The prospect doth my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.
5 Thus when life's toilsome day is o'er,
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day. Topics: Private Devotion Used With Tune: WOLVERHAMPTON
I love to steal awhile away
Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee
Author: J. H. Gurney Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 243 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee,
And plead to be forgiven,
So let Thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.
2 Help us through good report and ill
Our daily cross to bear,
Like Thee to do our Father’s will,
Our brethren’s grief to share.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel,
Our earthliness refine,
And kindness in our being dwell
As free and true as Thine.
4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly,
And grief’s dark day come on,
We in our turn would meekly cry,
"Father, Thy will be done."
5 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame,
Or brethren faithless prove,
Then, like Thine own, be all our aim
To conquer them by love.
6 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,
Forgiving and forgiven,
O may we lead the pilgrim’s life
And follow Thee to heaven. Topics: The Church Year First Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year First Sunday after Trinity; Jesus Christ Our Example; Sanctification Used With Tune: [Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee]

How precious is the Book divine

By inspiration given!
Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,
To guide our souls to heaven.
2 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts
In this dark vale of tears:
Life, light, and joy, it still imparts,
And quells our rising fears.

Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day. Topics: Word of God; Word of God Precious Used With Tune: WOLVERHAMPTON

And make it always Thine,
That I from Thee no more may stray,
No more from Thee decline.
2 Before the cross of Him who died,
Behold I prostrate fall;
Let every sin be crucified,
And Christ be all in all.
3 Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace,
Adopt me for Thine own,
That I may see Thy glorious face,
And worship at Thy throne.
4 May the dear blood once shed for me,
My blest atonement prove,
That I from first to last may be
The purchase of Thy love.

To Thee be ever given;
Then life shall be Thy service, Lord,
And death the gate of heaven. Topics: Adoption; Consecration; Holiness Used With Tune: WOLVERHAMPTON
