And can I yet delay

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #1024 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And can I yet delay My little all to give-- To tear my soul from earth away, My Jesus to receive? 2 Nay, but I yield--I yield! I can hold out no more: I sink, by dying love compelled, And own thee conqueror. 3 Though late, I all forsake, My friends, my all resign; Gracious Redeemer, take, oh, take, And seal me ever thine. 4 Come, and possess me whole, Nor hence again remove; Settle and fix my wavering soul With all thy weight of love.

Songs in the night full oft are given

Author: Hastings Hymnal: VoP1873 #1025 (1873) Lyrics: 1 Songs in the night full oft are given, Soft breathings from the air of heaven, Sweet zephyrs to the soul; The pilgrim's lonely heart to cheer, And bring celestial glories near, By their divine control. 2 Songs in the night kind heaven supplies, When cares and troubles round us rise, Our comfort to destroy; They bid the tempter far retire, And fill the soul with holy fire, Celestial peace and joy. 3 Songs in the night of sorrow's power, Affliction's tempest, death's dark hour, The pilgrim yet will sing; He'll shout with faith's uplifted eye, O grave, where is thy victory! O death, where is thy sting! Topics: Spiritual Songs; Songs in the Night

Poor, wildered, weeping heart

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #1026 (1873) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Poor, wildered, weeping heart, What can relieve thee? Come, sinful as thou art, Christ will receive thee: Come, though with woes opprest, Soft is thy Saviour's breast, There mayst thou sweetly rest, There naught can grieve thee. 2 Come, trembling, timid soul, Why this delaying? Thunders that o'er thee roll, Fall on thee straying: Turn from destruction's ways, Turn to the throne of grace, There seek thy Father's face, Weeping and praying. 3 Hence, guilty fear and doubt, Leave me for ever: Lord, wilt thou cast me out? Never, oh, never! From unbelief of mind, From thoughts to sin inclined, From flesh and hell combined, Thou wilt deliver. Topics: Spiritual Songs; Poor, Wildered, Weeping Heart

Oh, tell me no more Of this world's vain store

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #1027 (1873) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Oh, tell me no more Of this world's vain store; The time for such trifles with me is now o'er. 2 A country I've found Where true joys abound, To dwell I'm determined on that happy ground. 3 The souls which believe In paradise live, And me in that number will Jesus receive. 4 No longer I stay, He calls me away: I follow thee, Saviour, and bless the glad day. 5 And when I'm to die, Receive me, I'll cry, For life everlasting for me thou didst buy.

Lord, I hear of showers of blessing

Author: Eliz. Codner Hymnal: VoP1873 #1028 (1873) Lyrics: 1 Lord, I hear of showers of blessings, Thou art scattering full and free, Showers the thirsty land refreshing: Let some droppings fall on me. Even me, even me, Let some droppings fall on me. 2 Pass me not, O God my Father, Sinful though my heart may be; Thou might'st leave me, but the rather Let thy mercy fall on me. Even me, &c. 3 Pass me not, O gracious Saviour, Let me live and cling to thee: Fain I'm longing for thy favor; Whilst thou 'rt calling, call for me. Even me, &c. 4 Pass me not, O mighty Spirit: Thou canst make the blind to see, Witnesses of Jesus' merit, Speak the word of power to me-- Even me, &c. 5 Love of God, so pure and changeless, Blood of Christ, so rich and free, Grace of God, so rich and boundless, Magnify it all in me,-- Even me, &c. 6 Pass me not, thy lost one bringing; Bind my heart, O Lord to thee; Whilst the streams of life are springing, Blessing others, oh, bless me,-- Even me, &c.

Wonderful cross by faith I see

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #1029 (1873) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Wonderful cross by faith I see Planted on Calvary for me; Cross of the suffering Son of God, Under thy pressing weight he trod. Wonderful cross, so dear to me,-- Wonderful cross of Calvary. 2 Wonderful faith that lifts me up, Where I may taste the bitter cup; Wonderful faith that helps me bear Crosses and ills, his love to share; Wonderful faith, when tempest-tossed, Wonderful faith in Jesus' cross. 3 Wonderful cross of Calvary, Oh how my spirit clings to thee! Wonderful faith that brings thee near; Wonderful love that makes thee dear; Wonderful cross and faith and love Sending me up to heaven above. *4 Wonderful cross, by this I rise Into the rest of Paradise; Wonderful cross and tears and blood, Making me king and priest to God; Wonderful joy, at last, I'll share, Leaving the cross, the crown to wear.

O thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight

Author: Swain Hymnal: VoP1873 #1030 (1873) Lyrics: 1 O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight, On whom, in affliction, I call; My comfort by day, and my soul in the night, My hope, my salvation, my all. 2 Where dost thou at noontide resort with thy sheep, To feed in the pasture of love? For why, in the valley of death, should I weep, Or alone in the wilderness rove? 3 Oh, why should I wander, an alien from thee, Or cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, And smile at the tears I have shed. 4 Ye daughters of Zion, declare, have you seen The star that on Israel shone? Say, if in your tents my beloved has been, And where with his flock he has gone? 5 His voice, as the sound of the dulcimer sweet, Is heard through the shadows of death; The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet, The air is perfumed with his breath. 6 His lips as a fountain of righteousness flow, To water the gardens of grace; From which their salvation the Gentiles shall know, And bask in the smiles of his face. 7 He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice And myriads wait for his word; He speaks, and eternity, filled with his voice, Re-echoes the praise of the Lord.

Brother, on the troubled deep

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #1033 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Brother, on the troubled deep, When the wild winds round you sweep, And the waves in madness leap, Listen, 'tis the voice that said,-- It is I, be not afraid. 2 When the storm has died away, And the sun, with cheering ray, Now illumes your prosperous way, Trust, oh, trust in him who said,-- It is I, be not afraid. 3 Brother, far away from home, Restless as the wave's light foam, When temptations round you come, Pray for strength to him who said,-- It is I, be not afraid. 4 Brother, when death draweth near, And your spirit shrinks in fear From its portals damp and drear, Trust your soul to him who said,-- It is I, be not afraid.
