Savior! I Follow On

Author: Charles S. Robinson Meter: 10.10.12.10 Appears in 126 hymnals First Line: Savior! I follow on, guided by Thee Lyrics: 1. Savior! I follow on, guided by Thee, Seeing not yet the hand that leadeth me; Hushed be my heart and still, fear I no further ill; Only to meet Thy will my will shall be. 2. Riven the rock for me thirst to relieve, Manna from Heaven falls fresh every eve; Never a want severe causeth my eye a tear, But Thou dost whisper near, Only believe! 3. Often to Marah’s brink have I been brought; Shrinking the cup to drink, help I have sought; And with the prayer’s ascent, Jesus the branch hath rent— Quickly relief hath sent, sweetening the draught. 4. Savior! I long to walk closer with Thee; Led by Thy guiding hand ever to be; Constantly near Thy side, quickened and purified, Living for Him who died freely for me!

Tears of repentant grief, silently fall; Help Thou my unbelief, hear Thou my call; Oh, how I pine for Thee! ’Tis all my hope and plea: Jesus has died for me, Jesus, my all. 3. Still at Thy mercy seat, Savior, I fall; Trusting Thy promise sweet, heard is my call; Faith wings my soul to Thee; this all my song shall be, Jesus has died for me, Jesus my all.

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: Sarah F. Adams Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 2,492 hymnals Lyrics: Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song would be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. There let the way appear Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Then with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upwards I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Amen.

Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 10.10.12.10 Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Jesus, I long for Thee Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I long for Thee, friendless I roam, Earth has no joy for me, Heaven is my home; When shall my soul arise, joyful with glad surprise, Up to its native skies? Heaven is my home. 2 Grant me a light divine, while here I roam, O’er my dark path to shine, Heaven is my home; O, my sad heart, be still, patient in every ill, Thine be a Father’s will; Heaven is my home. 3 There shall I see His face, no more to roam, Clasped in His dear embrace, Heaven is my home; Soon shall my spirit rise, joyful with glad surprise, Up to its native skies, Heaven is my home.

When Shall I See The Day?

Author: S. Hubbard Meter: 10.10.12.10 Appears in 38 hymnals First Line: When shall I see the day that ends my woes? Lyrics: 1 When shall I see the day that ends my woes? When shall I victory gain over all my foes? When shall the trumpet sound that calls the exile home? The grand Sabbatic year, when will it come? 2 A crown of glory bright by faith I see, In yonder realms of light, prepared for me; O, may I faithful prove, and keep the prize in view, And thro’ the storms of life my way pursue. 3 Jesus, be Thou my guide, my steps attend; O, keep me near Thy side; be Thou my friend; Be Thou my shield and sun, my Savior and my guard, And, when my work is done, my great reward. 4 O, how I long to see that happy day, When sorrow, sin, and pain shall flee away; When all the heav’nly tribes shall find their long sought home— The Jubilee of Heav’n, when will it come?

Perishing things of clay, Born but for one brief day, Pass from my heart away; Jesus is mine. 3 Farewell, ye dreams of night; Jesus is mine; Lost in this dawning bright, Jesus is mine. All that my soul has tried Left but a dismal void; Jesus has satisfied; Jesus is mine. 4 Farewell, mortality; Jesus is mine; Hail! immortality; Jesus is mine. Welcome, O loved and blest! Welcome, sweet scenes of rest; Welcome, my Saviour's breast; Jesus is mine! Topics: The Christian Godly Life Used With Tune: BETHANY

Help Me, My Lord, To Grow

Author: Arthur S. Phelps Meter: 10.10.12.10 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Help me, my Lord, to grow more like to Thee Lyrics: 1 Help me, my Lord, to grow more like to Thee, Thy wondrous love to know, Thy face to see. Lord, fill my soul with light, dispel the gloom of night, And make me through Thy might more like to Thee. 2 Though rough the road may be, jagged and steep, Lord, though I may not run, upward I’ll creep. When nightly shadows fall, when doubts and fears appall, Then may I rise from all, more like to Thee. 3 Or if my footsteps sink in doubt’s dark wave, May I like Peter cry, "Lord Jesus, save!" So by my faith to prove Thine all redeeming love; Oh, make me, heavenly Dove, more like to Thee. 4 And when from Pisgah's height Canaan I view; When faith shall change to sight, old things to new; Then in a nobler song, through all the ages long, I’ll stand amid the throng, made like to Thee.
