All scenes alike engaging prove

Author: Jeanne de la Mothe Guyon (1648-1717); William Cowper (1731-1800) Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All scenes alike engaging prove To souls impressed with sacred love; Where’er they dwell, they dwell in thee, In Heaven, in earth, or on the sea. 2 To me remains nor place nor time, My country is in every clime; I can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there. 3 While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none; But with my God to guide my way ‘Tis equal joy to go or stay. 4 My dwelling-place art thou alone; No other can I claim or own, The point where all my wishes meet, My law, my love, life’s only sweet. 5 Then let me to thy throne repair And never be a stranger there; There love divine shall be my guard, And peace and safety my reward.

As pants the hart for cooling streams

Author: Nahum Tate (1652-1715); Nicholas Brady (1659-1726) Appears in 321 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams, When heated in the chase, So longs my soul, O Lord, for thee, And thy refreshing grace. 2 For thee, my God, the living God, My thirsty soul doth pine; O when shall I behold thy face, Thou majesty divine! 3 I sigh to think of happier days, When thou, O Lord, wast nigh, When every heart was tuned to praise, And none more blest than I. 4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Hope still, and thou shalt sing The praise of him who is thy God, Thy health’s eternal spring. Topics: Means of grace Prayer

At even, ere the sun was set

Author: Henry Twells (1823-1900) Appears in 313 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set, The sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more ‘tis eventide, and we, Oppressed with various ills, draw near; What if thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel, For some are sick and some are sad, And some have never loved thee well, And some have lost the love they had. 4 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 5 Thy touch has still its ancient power; No word from thee can fruitless fall; Hear in this solemn evening hour, And in thy mercy heal us all.

Awake, our souls; away, our fears

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Appears in 403 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls; away, our fears! Let every trembling thought be gone; Awake, and run the heavenly race, And put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, ‘tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God That feeds the strength of every saint. 3 O mighty God, thy matchless power Is ever new, and ever young, And firm endures, while endless years Their everlasting circles run. 4 From thee, the ever-flowing spring, Our souls shall drink a fresh supply; While such as trust their native strength Shall melt away and droop and die. 5 Swift as the eagle cuts the air We’ll mount aloft to thine abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire along the heavenly road.

Behold the throne of grace

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Appears in 306 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the throne of grace, The promise calls me near; There Jesus shows a smiling face And waits to answer prayer. 2 My soul, ask what thou wilt, Thou canst not be too bold; Since his own blood for thee he spilt, What else can he withhold? 3 Beyond thy utmost wants His love and power can bless; To praying souls he always grants More than they can express. 4 Thine image, Lord, bestow, Thy presence and thy love; I ask to serve thee here below, And reign with thee above. 5 Teach me to live by faith; Conform my will to thine; Let me victorious be in death, And then in Glory shine.
